Ab                                  Fm
They say I'm too young to love you
                         Db
I don't know what I need

                                Db

I'm churning out novels like
     Ab           Gb       Fm

I've got feathers in my hair
       Gb            Fm
I get down to Beat poetry
        Db                Ab

They say I'm too young to love you
                             Db
They say I'm too dumb to see

They judge me like a picture book
       Ab                Gb             Ab
By the colors like they forgot to read
                                  Fm
I think we're like fire and water
                                    Db
I think we're like the wind and sea

You're burning up, I'm cooling down
       Bbm   
You're up, I'm down
