Verse 1
They tell you while you’re young
Girls, go out and have your fun
Then they hunt and slay the ones
Who actually do it
Criticize the way you fly
When you’re soaring through the sky
Shoot you down and then they sigh
And say, “She looks like she’s been through it”
Pre-Chorus
Lord what will become of me
Once I’ve lost my novelty
Chorus
I’ve had too much to drink tonight
And I know it’s sad but this is what I think about
And I wake up in the middle of the night
It’s like I can feel time moving
How can a person know everything at 18
But nothing at twenty-two?
And will you still want me
G* C
When I’m nothing new?
Verse 2
How long will it be cute
All this crying in my room
When you can’t blame it on my youth
And roll your eyes with affection
And my cheeks are growing tired
From turning red and faking smiles
Are we only biding time till I lose your attention?
Pre-Chorus
And someone else lights up the room
People love an ingénue
Chorus
I’ve had too much to drink tonight
How did I go from growing up to breaking down?
And I wake up in the middle of the night
It’s like I can feel time moving
How can a person know everything at 18
But nothing at twenty-two?
And will you still want me
G*
When I’m nothing new?
Bridge
I know someday I’m gonna meet her
It’s a fever dream
The kind of radiance you only have at seventeen
She’ll know the way and then she’ll say she got the map from me
I’ll say I’m happy for her then I’ll cry myself to sleep
Oooh Oooh Oooh
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Chorus
G* C*
I’ve had too much to drink tonight
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
Am*
And I can feel time moving
How can a person know everything at 18
But nothing at twenty-two?
And will you still want me
Will you still want me
Will you still want me
G*
When I’m nothing new?
