* = Single Strum

Verse 1
                           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          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                     G
And say, “She looks like she’s been through it”

Pre-Chorus
                          F
Lord what will become of me
                   G
Once I’ve lost my novelty

Chorus
F         G             C
  I’ve had too much to drink tonight
      G/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
         G/B    Am
It’s like I can feel time moving
F                       G
 How can a person know everything at 18
    C      G/B Am
But nothing at 22?
             F
And will you still want me
G*
When I’m nothing new?

Verse 2
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             G
And roll your eyes with affection
                          C
And my cheeks are growing tired
                            Am
From turning red and faking smiles
                   Em          F              G
Are we only biding time till I lose your attention?

Pre-Chorus
                                  F
And someone else lights up the room
                G
People love an ingénue

Chorus
F         G             C
  I’ve had too much to drink tonight
     G/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
         G/B    Am
It’s like I can feel time moving
F                       G
 How can a person know everything at 18
    C      G/B Am
But nothing at 22?
             F
And will you still want me
G*
When I’m nothing new?

C

Bridge
  F
I know someday I’m gonna meet her
        G
It’s a fever dream
F                                     G
The kind of radiance you only have at seventeen
F                                                   G
She’ll know the way and then she’ll say she got the map from me
F                                            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

Chorus
         G*            C*
 I’ve had too much to drink tonight
      G*                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
          G*     Am*
It’s like I can feel time moving
F                       G
 How can a person know everything at 18
    C      G/B Am
But nothing at 22?
             F             G
And will you still want me
         C             Am
Will you still want me
          F
Will you still want me
G*
  When I’m nothing new?
