        C                  Am7
When am I gonna stop being wise beyond my years
     F
And just start being wise?
        C                    Am7
When am I gonna stop being a pretty young
          F
thing to guys?
        C                  Am7
When am I gonna stop being great for my age
     F
And just start being good?
          C                        Am7
When will it stop being cool to be quietly
           F
misunderstood?

Chorus:
      Em           E              F           C
I'll blow out the candles, happy birthday to me
          Em          E                  F
Got your whole life ahead of you, you're only
      C
nineteen
       Dm                                         Fm
But I fear they already got all the best parts of me
        Dm                                      Fm6
And I'm sorry that I couldn't always be your teenage
dream

And when does wide-eyed affection and
all good intentions start to not be enough?
When will everyone have every reason
to call all my bluffs?
And when are all my excuses of learning
my lessons gonna start to feel sad?
Will I spend all the rest of my years
wishing I could go back?

Chorus

C                 Em              F/C
They all say that it gets better, it gets
           Fm
better the more you grow
      C                 Em              F/C
Yeah, they all say that it gets better, it gets
             Fm
better, but what if I don't? - x4
