[Opening]
[Am] [F] [G] [E]
Everybody has to get [Am]older, even [F]Jenny

Fight the [F]science, in [C]defiance, and be [E]timeless

[chorus]
[F]Silly little girl who tried to live forever, [G]live [Am]forever
[Am]Gave away her soul to buy a bit of pleasure

For the [G]bitter [Am]pleasure, [Am]now their cursed forever
[G]Cursed [F]together

[chorus]
[F]And if you could see, the look in [G]her [Am]eyes
[Am]The wolf wore the sheep, as the [G]perfect [F]disguise
[F]And she can’t believe, that she fell for [G]his [Am]lies
[Am]He promised forever, but she never [G]knew the [F]price
[F]He promised forever, but she never [G]knew the [Am]price
[Am]He promised forever, but she never [G]knew the [F]price

[verse 2]
[F] [G] [E]
And as she got a little bit [Am]older
Look at [F]Jenny, now she’s [C]90, she looks [E]19
And all she knows to do is [Am]survive and
Stay [F]alive and, now she’s [C]crying
‘Cause she’s not [E]dying
