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 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 G And say, «She looks like she’s been through it» Pre-Chorus: F Lord what will become of me G Once I’ve lost my novelty Chorus: F G C I’ve had too much to drink tonight G 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 G Am It’s like I can feel time moving F G How can a person know everything at 18 C G Am But nothing at 22? F And will you still want me G C When I’m nothing new? 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 G And roll your eyes with affection C And my cheeks are growing tired Am From turning red and faking smiles Em Are we only biding time till F G I lose your attention? Pre-Chorus: F And someone else lights up the room G People love an ingenue Chorus: F G C I’ve had too much to drink tonight G Am How did I go from growing up to breaking down? F G C And I wake up in the middle of the night G Am It’s like I can feel time moving F G How can a person know everything at 18 C G Am But nothing at 22? F And will you still want me G C When I’m nothing new? Bridge: F I know someday I’m gonna meet her G It’s a fever dream F The kind of radiance you G only have at seventeen F She’ll know the way and then she’ll G say she got the map from me F I’ll say I’m happy for her G C 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 G 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 G Am It’s like I can feel time moving F G How can a person know everything at 18 C G Am But nothing at 22? F G And will you still want me C Am Will you still want me F Will you still want me G When I’m nothing new?
