Verse
They tell you while you're[C] young
"Girls, go out and have your[Am] fun, "
Then they hunt and slay the[Em] ones who [F]actually do[G] it
Criticize the way you[C] fly
When you're soarin' through the[Am] sky
Shoot you down, and then they [Em]sigh and say
"She[F] looks like she's been [G]through it, "
Pre-Chorus
Lord, what will become of[F] me
Once I've lost my[G] novelty?
Chorus
[F]I've had[G] too much to[C] drink tonight
And I [G/B]know it's sad, but [Am]this is what I think about
And I[F] wake up[G] in the middle of the [C]night
It's like [G/B]I can[Am] feel time moving
[F]How can a person know [G]everything
at eighteen but [C]nothing [G/B]at[Am] twenty-two?
And will you[F] still want me [G]when I'm nothin' new?
Verse
[C]How long will it be cute
All this cryin' in my[Am] room
Whеn you can't blame it on my[Em] youth
and roll your[F] eyes with[G] affеction?

From turnin' red and fakin'[Am] smiles
Are we only bidin' [Em]time 'til I[F] lose your[G] attention?

And someone else lights up the[F] room
People love an [G]ingénue

I[F] know someday I'm gonna meet her
It's a [G]fever dream
[F]The kind of radiance you only have at [G]seventeen
