[Intro]
What was that? Samantha?

[Verse 1]
Ab              Ab7                          Fm               Eb
This will all make sense when I am older

Someday I will see that this makes sense
Ddim              C#dim
One day when I’m old and wise
Cm7              Bb
I’ll think back and realize
Eb                          Bb                          Eb
That these were all completely normal events!
Ah!

[Verse 2]
Ab              Ab7              Fm              Eb
I’ll have all the answers when I’m older
Bbm              Bbm(maj7)              Bbm7        Eb
Like why we’re in this dark enchanted wood
Ddim                          C#dim
I know in a couple years
Cm7                                      Bb
These will seem like childish fears
Bbm                          Eb              Ab
And so I know this isn’t bad, it’s good
Excuse me

[Verse 3]
Ab                          Ab7
Growing up means adapting
Fm                                      Eb
Puzzling at your world and your place
Bbm              Bbm(maj7)
When I’m more mature
Bbm7                          Eb
I’ll feel totally secure
Eb
Being watched by something
Bb                          Eb
With a creepy, creepy face
Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh!

[Verse 4]
Ab                          Ab7              Fm              Eb
See, that will all make sense when I am older
Bbm              Bbm(maj7)       Bbm7          Eb
So there’s no need to be terrified or tense
Ddim                          C#dim
I’ll just dream about a time
Cm7                          Bb
When I’m in my age of prime
Bbm
‘Cause when you’re older
Eb                          Eb              Ab
Absolutely everything makes sense!
This is fine
