Lyrics & Chords
Full Song
Verse 1
C
They tell you while you’re young
G
Girls, go out and have your fun
Am F
Then they hunt and slay the ones who actually do it
C
Criticize the way you fly
G
When you’re soarin’ through the sky
Am F
Shoot you down and then they sigh, and say
She looks like she’s been through it
Chorus
C
Lord, what will become of me
G
Once I’ve lost my novelty?
Am F
I’ve had too much to drink tonight
C G
And I know it’s sad, but this is what I think about
Am F
And I wake up in the middle of the night
It’s like I can feel time moving
Verse 2
C
How can a person know everything
G
At eighteen, but nothing at twenty-two?
Am F
And will you still want me when I’m nothing new?
C
How long will it be cute
G
All this cryin’ in my room
Am
Whеn you can’t blame it on my youth
F
And roll your eyes with affection?
Chorus
C
And my cheeks are growin’ tired
G
From turnin’ red and fakin’ smiles
Am F
Are we only bideing time ’til I lose your attention?
C G
And someone else lights up the room?
Am
People love an ingénue
F
I know ’cause I was one
C G Am F
It’s agonizing to be seventeen and freezing while they’re burnin’ the witches
C
Even if you aren’t one
G
The eyes of strangers
Am F
Holdin’ me like I’m a prize
C
Remind me what I thought was mine
G
And what I thought was mine
Am
Was just another stage
F
Another page
C G Am F
Another thing I didn’t do for love
Bridge
C
I know someday I’m gonna meet her
G
It’s a fever dream
Am F
The kind of radiance you only have at seventeen
C G
She’ll know the way and then she’ll say she got the map from me
Am
I’ll say I’m happy for her
F
Then I’ll cry myself to sleep
Chorus
C
Oh, what will become of me
G
Once I’ve lost my novelty?
Am F
I’ve had too much to drink tonight
C G
And I know it’s sad, but this is what I think about
Am F
And I wake up in the middle of the night
It’s like I can feel time moving
C
How can a person know everything
G
At eighteen, but nothing at twenty-two?
