Nothing New

                           C
They tell you while you’re young
                            Am
Girls, go out and have your fun
                            Em
Then they hunt and slay the ones
     F          Gsus4 G
Who actually do it
                      C
Criticize the way you fly
                                Am
When you’re soaring through the sky
                             Em
Shoot you down and then they sigh
              F                     Gsus4       G
And say, “She looks like she’s been through it”

[Pre-Chorus]
          Am     G       F
Lord what will become of me
                   Gsus4  G
Once I’ve lost my novelty

[Chorus]
F         G             C
  I’ve had too much to drink tonight
      C/B               Am
And I know it’s sad but this is what I think about
     F       G                         C
And I wake up in the middle of the night
         C/B    Am
It’s like I can feel time moving
F                       G
 How can a person know everything at 18
    C          C/B    Am
But nothing at twenty-two?
             F
And will you still want me
G*                     C
When I’m nothing new?

[Verse 2]
                    C
How long will it be cute
                      Am
All this crying in my room
                              Em
When you can’t blame it on my youth
              F             Gsus4 G
And roll your eyes with affection
                          C
And my cheeks are growing tired
                            Am
From turning red and faking smiles
                   Em          F              Gsus4 G
Are we only biding time till I lose your attention?

[Pre-Chorus]
            Am          G      F
And someone else lights up the room
                Gsus4   G
People love an ingénue

[Chorus]
F         G             C
  I’ve had too much to drink tonight
     C/B          Am
How did I go from growing up to breaking down?
     F       G                         C
And I wake up in the middle of the night
         C/B    Am
It’s like I can feel time moving
F                       G
 How can a person know everything at 18
    C          C/B    Am
But nothing at twenty-two?
             F
And will you still want me
G*
When I’m nothing new?

C

[Bridge]
F
 I know someday I’m gonna meet her
       G     F
It’s a fever dream
                                      G    F
The kind of radiance you only have at seventeen
                                                    G        F
She’ll know the way and then she’ll say she got the map from me
                                           G       C
I’ll say I’m happy for her then I’ll cry myself to sleep

  Am   Em     F
Oooh  Oooh Oooh
 C    Am   Em    F
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
F                       G
 How can a person know everything at 18
    C          C/B    Am
But nothing at twenty-two?
             F             G
And will you still want me
         C     C/B     Am
Will you still want me
          F
Will you still want me
G*
  When I’m nothing new?
