Lord what will become of [F]me, once I’ve lost my [G]novelty

[F]I’ve had [G]too much to [C]drink tonight, And I [G]know it’s sad but [Am]this is what I think about And I [F]wake up [G]in the middle of the [C]night, it’s like [G]I can [Am]feel time moving [F]How can a person know [G]everything at 18, but [C]nothing [G]at [Am]22? And will you [F]still want me, [G]when I’m nothing new?

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

And someone else lights up the [F]room, people love an [G]ingénue
