Intro -x2-: G6 Am7 F Verse 1: C Am7 When am I gonna stop being wise beyond my years F And just start being wise? C Am7 F When am I gonna stop being a pretty young thing to guys?

Chorus: Em E F C I'll blow out the candles, happy birthday to me Em E F C Got your whole life ahead of you, you're only nineteen Dm Fm But I fear they already got all the best parts of me Dm Fm6 Fm And I'm sorry that I couldn't always be your teenage dream Verse 1: C Am7 When does wide-eyed affection and all good intentions F Start to not be enough?

you sing
all “his” Harry sings it as his
i miss 2013 🙁
it was the best
im in love with lou and all his little things **
I think for the last Chorus, C should be played at “things”, Em at “out, ad D at “mouth”. It sounds much prettier!
maybe you’ll love yourself like i
YOU SING!
love you….ohh~
I would reccomend on the second “it’s you” using G!
Just my preference
WAAWW !!! This is AMAZAYN BRILLIAM EXTRAORDINHARRY FABULOUIS AND PHENOMENIALL
I use the strumming patter D UU D UU DDU if that makes sense. It took a while for me to get it but when I did it sounded good in my opinion!
On the bridge I use DDDDU but I strum a bit harder on the third down strum.

I’ve played this song so many times. The amount of affection I feel is amazing because it just gets too me! I have personally never really been a fan of 1 Direction, but “little things” has made the difference:)I have heard of other versions where you pick at the beginning! This song is amazing either way though.
