Intro | C F | C |
C F C G/B Look at us, we made it out alive Am F Those were the years that I learnt to survive C F C G/B Maybe youth ain't the time of our lives Am F C F They just romanticise it F C G/B Met you at a party on Halloween Am F C F You were studying at university C F C And all your friends would laugh and joke about me G Am F C But I didn't mind being a punchline at sixteen
F G I liked that you were older Am C But at the time I didn't understand F G It's 'cause you held the power Am C And I thought love was meant to feel like that F G All the things I gave you Am C Now I wish I could take them all right back F G 'Cause I wasn't a woman yet Am C But you were a man F G C I was just a girl in love with a man
C F C G/B And it felt like a twisted game you'd play Am F C Of who could take my innocence away F C But it wasn't yours F C G/B No, never yours to claim Am F C I thought that to love was to give yourself away
F G It sent me into orbit Am C Knowing that you wanted me like that F G Didn't see a problem Am C It's only now I'm older, looking back F G Made me feel so special Am C Now the only thing I feel is mad F G 'Cause I wasn't a woman yet Am C But you were a man F G I wasn't a woman yet, but now I am
Dm You'd pick me up in your car F We'd go speeding down the lanes Dm I'd meet you in town F With my fake ID, claiming I was 23 Dm To get into bars I'd never felt so cool and F Dm Now I know you probably knew that I F Would do anything to impress you Dm F And now I wonder, is that how they get you?
F G They say that your youth is Am C Meant to be the time of your life F G But I feel fucking stupid Am C That I was crying over older guys F G Bet they don't think about it Am C Wish I knew what I know now back then F G 'Cause I wasn't a woman yet Am C But you were a man F G C I was just a girl in love with a man
