CThey tell you while you're young
Am"Girls, Go out and have your fun,"
Em F GThen they hunt and slay the ones who actually Do it
CCriticize the way you fly
AmWhen you're soarin' through the sky
EmShoot you down, and then they sigh and say
F G"She looks like she's been through it,"
[Pre-Chorus]
FLord, what will become of me
GOnce I've lost my novelty?
[Chorus]
F G CI've had too much to drink tonight
C/B AmAnd I know it's sad, but this is what I think about
F G CAnd I wake up in the middle of the night
C/B AmIt's like I can feel time moving
F G C C/B AmHow can a person know everything at eighteen but nothin' at twenty-two?
F GAnd will you still want me when I'm nothin' new?
[Verse]
CHow long will it be cute
AmAll this cryin' in my room
Em F GWhеn you can't blame it on my youth and roll your eyes with affеction?
CAnd my cheeks are growin' tired
AmFrom turnin' red and fakin' smiles
Em F GAre we only bidin' time 'til I lose your attention?
[Pre-Chorus]
FAnd someone else lights up the room
GPeople love an ingénue
[Chorus]
F G CI've had too much to drink tonight
C/B AmHow did I Go from growin' up to breakin' down
F G CAnd I wake up in the middle of the night
C/B AmIt's like I can feel time moving
F G C C/B AmHow can a person know everything at eighteen but nothin' at twenty-two?
F GAnd will you still want me when I'm nothin' new?
[Bridge]
FI know someday I'm gonna meet her
G FIt's a fever dream
F G FThe kind of radiance you only have at seventeen
F G FShe'll know the way and then she'll say she got the map from me
G CI'll say I'm happy for her, then I'll cry myself to sleep
[Chorus]
F G CI've had too much to drink tonight
C/B AmBut I wonder if they'll miss me once they drive me out
F G CI wake up in the middle of the night
C/B AmAnd I can feel time moving
F G C C/B AmHow can a person know everything at eighteen but nothin' at twenty-two?
[Outro]
F GAnd will you still want me
F GWill you still want me
F GWill you still want me
When I'm nothin' new?
