Verse:
                       C
They tell you while you're young
                         Am
"Girls, go out and have your fun,"
                            Em       F           G
Then they hunt and slay the ones who actually do it
                      C
Criticize the way you fly
                               Am
When you're soarin' through the sky
                               Em
Shoot you down, and then they sigh and say
      F                      G
"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
           C               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
         C         Am
It's like I can feel time moving
F                      G                     C        C             Am
How can a person know everything at eighteen but nothin' at twenty-two?
             F            G
And will you still want me when I'm nothin' new?

Verse:
                    C
How long will it be cute
                      Am
All this cryin' in my room
                              Em                  F           G
Whеn you can't blame it on my youth and roll your eyes with affеction?
                          C
And my cheeks are growin' tired
                            Am
From turnin' red and fakin' smiles
                   Em          F           G
Are we only bidin' time 'til 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
       C             Am
How did I go from growin' up to breakin' down
F            G                    C
And I wake up in the middle of the night
         C         Am
It's like I can feel time moving
F                      G                     C        C             Am
How can a person know everything at eighteen but nothin' at twenty-two?
             F            G
And will you still want me when I'm nothin' new?

Bridge:
F
I know someday I'm gonna meet her
         G    F
It's a fever dream
 F                                     G   F
The kind of radiance you only have at seventeen
 F                                                  G        F
She'll know the way and then she'll say she got the map from me
                                         G          C
I'll say I'm happy for her, then I'll cry myself to sleep

Chorus:
F        G           C
I've had too much to drink tonight
        C                 Am
But I wonder if they'll miss me once they drive me out
F         G                    C
I wake up in the middle of the night
   C         Am
And I can feel time moving
F                      G                     C        C             Am
How can a person know everything at eighteen but nothin' at twenty-two?

Outro:
             F           G
And will you still want me
         F            G
Will you still want me
         F            G
Will you still want me

When I'm nothin' new?
