[Verse 1]
C AmYour face in fluorescent looks different in the daylight
C AmLike was it a love affair or just a lot of late nights?
C AmLike you had the speaking parts but I guess I was the playwright
C AmOh, oh-woah
C AmI couldn't escape you like the airwaves of the bassline
C AmAnd I couldn't erase you like a tattoo on my waistline
C AmIf it was a first kiss, how come it felt like a snakebite?
C AmOh, oh-woah
[Pre-Chorus]
GI wish I woulda seen it sooner
[Chorus]
G CWhy did it take me (Oh, oh, oh)
G CAges to say it? (Oh, oh, oh)
G CI wasn't your cliché
Em D COh, no, this is my coming of age
[Post-chorus]
GOh, oh, my coming of age
GOh, oh, my coming of age
[Verse 2]
C AmI'm caught in new ground and I'm burning all your CDs
C AmBaby, I Am the Iliad, of course you couldn't read me
C AmSo I'll leave you behind, but that don't mean it's easy
C AmOh, oh-woah (Oh, oh, oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
GI wish I woulda seen it sooner
[Chorus]
G CWhy did it take me (Oh, oh, oh)
G CAges to say it? (Oh, oh, oh)
G CI wasn't your cliché
Em D COh, no, this is my coming of age
G C x2
[Bridge]
GI send my silence away
GPrinting my blood on the page
GYou stole my love and I paid
G EmBut you couldn't keep what you couldn't take
D CI know I made you the big star
Em C I let you butcher my big heart
D C EmBut it's my song and my stage
D C EmAnd it's my coming of age
[Chorus]
G CWhy did it take me (Oh, oh, oh)
G CAges to say it? (Oh, oh, oh)
G CI wasn't your cliché
Em D COh, no, this is my coming of age
[Outro]
G CI wish I could've seen it, God
G CI wish I could've seen it, God
G CI wish I could've seen it, God
D CBut God, I wish I could've seen it, God
