A
This will get bigger if you know what I mean
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
   D
I heard it's en vogue to be super thin
But your friends aren't thick so they can't come in
     A
I'm feelin' apathetic after scrollin' through hell
I think I've got a boner
                                 D
But I can't really tell and the fans are on

      E
It's cynical
This Adderall
     E
And vitriol
     A                    D    E
And young people drinkin' Aperol

Chorus:
           A
And it's about time
                 D
This is what it looks like

I'm sorry about my twenties, I was learnin' the ropes
I had a tendency of thinking 'bout it after I spoke
We're experiencin' life through the postmodern lens
Oh, call it like it is
You're makin' an aesthetic out of not doing well
And minin' all the bits of you you think you can sell
Whilst the fans are on

E
Whimsical
Political
Liberal
      A                  D
With young people as collateral

         A
You see, I can't sleep 'cause
the American Dream has been buying up all of my self-esteem
        D
Whilst Qanon created a legitimate scene
but it was just some bloke in the Philippines

Chorus:
           A
And it's about 'Time
And it's about 'Time'
                 D
This is what it looks like
           A
And it's about time
And it's about time
                 D
This is what it looks like
                 D          E
This is what it looks like

     A
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
     D
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
                                       E
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
     A
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
     D
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
                                       E
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
