[Verse 1]
Bm7
I don’t wanna die young
Amaj7
Don’t wanna get old
Bm7
And stay so warm
E7
That my heart gets cold

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7
So tell me there’s a reason
E7
Or something upstairs
Bm7
And tell me they’ve been seeing
E7
What’s going on down here

[Chorus]
A
‘Cause I get to feeling sad
Bm
And I miss my mom and dad
C#m
Why’s it so hard to tell ’em that?
E7sus2sus4 E7sus4
When you get to a certain age
A
You miss what you could’ve had
Bm
But don’t really want it back
C#m
And hope that you’re on track
E7sus2sus4 E7sus4
For twenty-two and some change

[Verse 2]

I just wanna have fun
Amaj7
And have a good laugh (Ha, ha, ha)

Make a few friends
E7
The kind that last

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7
So tell me there’s a reason
E7
There’s something upstairs
Bm7
And tell me they’ve been seeing
E7
What’s going on down here

[Bridge]
E7sus4 Bm7
My mind gets caught under the weight
Bm7add9 F#m
A tide away inside a maze
F#m
Without a way
E7sus4 Bm7
I ought to give myself some grace
Bm7add9
Either way
F#m E7sus4
I’m wide awake in the bed I’ve made

[Chorus]
A
And I get to feeling sad
Bm
And I miss my mom and dad
C#m
Why’s it so hard to tell ’em that?
E7sus2sus4 E7sus4
When you get to a certain age

You miss what you could’ve had
