[Strophe]
                           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-Refrain]
          Am     G       F 
Lord what will become of me 
                   Gsus4  G 
Once I’ve lost my novelty
[Refrain]
F         G             C 
  I’ve had too much to drink tonight 
      C/B               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 
         C/B    Am 
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? 
             F 
And will you still want me 
G*                     C 
When I’m nothing new?
[Strophe]
                    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 tired 
                            Am 
From turning red and faking smiles 
                   Em          F              Gsus4 G 
Are we only biding time till I lose your attention?
[Pre-Refrain]
            Am          G      F 
And someone else lights up the room 
                Gsus4   G 
People love an ingénue
[Refrain]
F         G             C 
  I’ve had too much to drink tonight 
     C/B          Am 
How did I go from growing up to breaking down? 
     F       G                         C 
And I wake up in the middle of the night 
         C/B    Am 
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? 
             F 
And will you still want me 
G* 
When I’m nothing new?

F 
 I know someday I’m gonna meet her 
       G     F 
It’s a fever dream 
                                      G    F 
The kind of radiance you only have at seventeen 
                                                    G        F 
She’ll know the way and then she’ll say she got the map from me 
                                           G       C 
I’ll say I’m happy for her then I’ll cry myself to sleep  
  Am   Em     F 
Oooh  Oooh Oooh 
 C    Am   Em    F 
Oooh  Oooh Oooh Oooh
[Refrain]
         G*            C* 
 I’ve had too much to drink tonight 
                        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 
          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? 
             F             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?
