They tell you while youâre young
Am
Girls, go out and have your fun
Em
Then they hunt and slay the ones
FG
Who actually do it
C
Criticize the way you fly
Am
When youâre soaring through the sky
Em
Shoot you down and then they sigh
FG
And say, âShe looks like sheâs been through itâ
Â
F
Lord what will become of me
G
Once Iâve lost my novelty
Â
FGC
Iâve had too much to drink tonight
G/BAm
And I know itâs sad but this is what I think about
FGC
And I wake up in the middle of the night
G/BAm
Itâs like I can feel time moving
FG
How can a person know everything at 18
CG/BAm
But nothing at 22
F
And will you still want me
G
When Iâm nothing new?
Â
C
How long will it be cute
Am
All this crying in my room
Em
When you canât blame it on my youth
FG
And roll your eyes with affection
C
And my cheeks are growing tired
Am
From turning red and faking smiles
EmFG
Are we only biding time till I lose your attention?
Â
F
And someone else lights up the room
G
People love an ingénue
Â
FGC
Iâve had too much to drink tonight
G/BAm
How did I go from growing up to breaking down?
FGC
And I wake up in the middle of the night
G/BAm
Itâs like I can feel time moving
FG
How can a person know everything at 18
CG/BAm
But nothing at 22
F
And will you still want me
G
When Iâm nothing new?

C

F
I know someday Iâm gonna meet her
GF
Itâs a fever dream

The kind of radiance you only have at seventeen

Sheâll know the way and then sheâll say she got the map from me
GC
Iâll say Iâm happy for her then Iâll cry myself to sleep
