NOTE: An asterisk indicates a single strum. Where I have an Am* in the chorus, this sounds like a stacatto final strum before moving to the F. Where I have indicated the G☠☠ it sounds like she is sliding up 2 frets from an Fsus2 to the G. The C/B chords are just a 3-2-0 walk-down from the C to the Am on the A string. The Am/G is a walkdown from the Am to the F on the low E string. In the bridge where I have 2 G chords together those are single downstrums before moving to the next chord. Chords: C x32010 C/B x3x010 Am x02210 Am/G 302210 Em 022000 F 1x3211 Fsus2 1x3011 Gsus4 3x0013 G 3x0003 G☠☠ 3x5433
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 Am* And I know it’s sad but this is what I think about Fsus2 G☠☠ C And I wake up in the middle of the night C/B Am Am/G 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? Am/G 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 ti-i-ired Am From turning red and faking smiles Em F Gsus4 G Are we only biding time 'til I lose your attention? Pre-Chorus: Am G F And someone else lights up the room G People love an ingénue Chorus: F G C I’ve had too much to drink tonight C/B Am Am* How did I go from growing up to breaking down? Fsus2 G☠☠ C And I wake up in the middle of the night C/B Am Am/G 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? Am/G 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 G F It’s a fe-ver dream G G F The kind of radiance you only have at se-ven-teen G G F She’ll know the way and then she’ll say she got the map from me G G C I’ll say I’m happy for her then I’ll cry myself to sleep Interlude: Am Em F Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh C Am Em F Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh Outro: F* G* C* I’ve had (I've had) too much to drink tonight Am* But I wonder if they’ll miss me once they drive me out F* 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? Fsus2 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?
