Chords
[Verse 1]
They tell you while you're Cyoung
"Girls, go out and have yourAm fun"
Then they hunt and slay the Emones
Who Factually do Git
Criticize the way you Cfly
When you're soarin' through theAm sky
Shoots you down
And then they Emsigh and say
"She Flooks like she's been through Git"
Lord, what will become of Fme
[Pre-Chorus]
Once I've lost my noGvelty?
[Chorus]
F I've hadG too much to drinkC tonight
And I G/Bknow it's sad
But Amthis is what I think about
And IF wake upG in the middle of the night
C It's like G/BI can feelAm time moving
F How can a person know Geverything
At eighteen but Cnothin' at G/Btwentytwo?
Am And will you stillF want meG when I'm nothin' new?
[Post-Chorus]
C How long will it be Ccute
[Verse 2]
All this cryin' in my Amroom
Whеn you can't blame it on my Emyouth
And roll your eyesF with affеcGtion?
And my cheeks are growin' Ctired
From turnin' red and fakin' Amsmiles
Are we only bidin' Emtime
'Til I loseF your attenGtion?
And someone else lights up the Froom
[Pre-Chorus]
People love an inGgénue
[Chorus]
F I've hadG too much to drinkC tonight
How G/Bdid I go from Amgrowin' up
To breakin' down and I
F Wake up
G In the middle of the night
C It's like G/BI can feelAm time moving
F How can a person know Geverything
At eighteen but Cnothing at G/Btwentytwo?
Am And will you stillF want meG when I'm nothin' new? C
[Bridge]
F I know someday I'm gonna meet her
It's a Gfever Fdream
The kind of radiance you only
Have at GsevenFteen she'll know the way
And then she'll say she got the Gmap from Fme
I'll say I'm happy for her, then
I'll cry myGself to sleep
C Am Em F
C Am Em F
[Chorus]
F I've hadG too much to drinkC tonight
But I G/Bwonder if they'll Ammiss me
Once they drive me out
F I wake up
G In the middle of the night
C And G/BI can feelAm time moving
F How can a person know Geverything
At eighteen but Cnothing at G/Btwentytwo?
Am And will you stillF want me
G Will you stillC wantG/B me
Am Will you stillF want me
G When I'm nothin' new?
