D I'm not prepared for the future A So many things that I just don't know Bm G I cut my hair, bought a new shirt, new pair of shoes D And it's time to go, I finally found an apartment A Signed a lease on a car this month Bm G I can't go back to the start now, time doesn't slow down I'm on my own Chorus: D Guess my childhood is over Now I'm taking down the posters A And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster Bm That's my closest thing to closure I can't stop this roller coaster G I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older D Guess my childhood is over Now I'm taking down my posters A And I'm telling all my friends we'll get together next October Bm That's my closest thing to closure I can't stop this roller coaster G I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older D Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra A Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra Bm G Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra Never thought I'd be twenty Now thirty don't seem so far away I know I gotta make a little money, then maybe find somebody To call my own Mmm, I'm not ready, but I Can't go back in time, I Know it's all out of my control, now I know Chorus Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra D Guess my childhood is over One day I'll be buying posters A for my kids just like my parents Did for me, it's never over Bm They'll grow up and soon enough they'll wish that time would just move slower G I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older Chorus Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
