Verse 1
[C]
They tell you while you’re young
[Am]
Girls, go out and have your fun
[Em]
Then they hunt and slay the ones
[F] [Gsus4] [G]
Who actually do it
[C]
Criticize the way you fly
[Am]
When you’re soaring through the sky
[Em]
Shoot you down and then they sigh
[F] [Gsus4] [G]
And say, “She looks like she’s been through it”
Pre-Chorus
[Am] [G] [F]
Lord what will become of me
[Gsus4] [G]
Once I’ve lost my novelty
Chorus
[F] [G] [C]
I’ve had too much to drink tonight
[C/B] [Am]
And I know it’s sad but this is what I think about
[F] [G] [C]
And I wake up in the middle of the night
[C/B] [Am]
It’s like I can feel time moving
[F] [G]
How can a person know everything at 18
[C] [C/B] [Am]
But nothing at twenty-two?
[F]
And will you still want me
[G]* [C]
When I’m nothing new?
Verse 2
[C]
How long will it be cute
[Am]
All this crying in my room
[Em]
When you can’t blame it on my youth
[F] [Gsus4] [G]
And roll your eyes with affection
[C]
And my cheeks are growing tired
[Am]
From turning red and faking smiles
[Em] [F] [Gsus4] [G]
Are we only biding time till I lose your attention?
Pre-Chorus
[Am] [G] [F]
And someone else lights up the room
[Gsus4] [G]
People love an ingénue
Chorus
[F] [G] [C]
I’ve had too much to drink tonight
[C/B] [Am]
How did I go from growing up to breaking down?
[F] [G] [C]
And I wake up in the middle of the night
[C/B] [Am]
It’s like I can feel time moving
[F] [G]
How can a person know everything at 18
[C] [C/B] [Am]
But nothing at twenty-two?
[F]
And will you still want me
[G]*
When I’m nothing new?
[C]
Bridge
[F]
I know someday I’m gonna meet her
[G] [F]
It’s a fever dream
[G] [F]
The kind of radiance you only have at seventeen
[G] [F]
She’ll know the way and then she’ll say she got the map from me
[G] [C]
I’ll say I’m happy for her then I’ll cry myself to sleep
[Am] [Em] [F]
Oooh Oooh Oooh
[C] [Am] [Em] [F]
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Chorus
[G]* [C]*
I’ve had too much to drink tonight
[Am]* [F]*
But I wonder if they’ll miss me once they drive me out
[G]* [C]*
I wake up (wake up) in the middle of the night
[Am]*
And I can feel time moving
[F] [G]
How can a person know everything at 18
[C] [C/B] [Am]
But nothing at twenty-two?
[F] [G]
And will you still want me
[C] [C/B] [Am]
Will you still want me
[F]
Will you still want me
[G]*
When I’m nothing new?
