Cm        D#  Fm        A#
I want to be, wild and young
    Gm       Cm       G#
And not be afraid to lose
Cm        D#   Fm         A#
Cry on my own, me and my bottle
Gm             Cm       G#
These are the things I choose

Chorus:
    Cm               G#           D#
But they're watching me, judging me
       A#         Cm
Making me feel so used
          G#           D#       A#
Can't you see that all I wanna do
  Fm             A#   D#            G#
Is get a little wild, get a little high?
Fm              A#       D#                G#
Kiss a hundred boys and not feel like I'm tied to them
Fm              A#
If you were to judge me
    D#                G#
Then go and load the gun
Fm                 A#          D#
I've done nothing wrong, I'm young

Oh-oh, oh-oh
I wanna fight and fall off the tables
Then wait to regret last night
My heavy heart pounds deep like a dagger
'Cause I'm not afraid to bite

Chorus:
But they're watching me, judging me
Making me feel so used
Can't you see that all I wanna do
Is get a little wild, get a little high
Kiss a hundred boys and not feel like I'm tied to them
If you wanna judge me, then go and load the gun
I've done nothing wrong, I'm young

Get a little wild, get a little high
Kiss a hundred boys and not feel like I'm tied to them
If you wanna judge me, then go and load the gun
I've done nothing wrong, I'm young
