[Verse]
C
I'm not prepared for the future
G
So many things that I just don't know
Am
I cut my hair, bought a new shirt,
F
new pair of shoes
C
And it's time to go, I finally found an apartment
G
Signed a lease on a car this month
Am
I can't go back to the start now,
F
time doesn't slow down
I'm on my own
[Chorus]
C
Guess my childhood is over
Now I'm taking down the posters
G
And I'm putting all my things inside a
box next to a toaster
Am
That's my closest thing to closure
I can't stop this roller coaster
F
I'm not ready to get older,
I'm not ready to get older
C
Guess my childhood is over
Now I'm taking down my posters
G
And I'm telling all my friends
we'll get together next October
Am
That's my closest thing to closure
I can't stop this roller coaster
F
I'm not ready to get older,
I'm not ready to get older
[Post-Chorus]
C
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
G
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
Am F
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
[Verse]
C
Never thought I'd be twenty
G
And thirty don't seem so far away
Am
I know I gotta make a little money then
F
maybe find somebody
To call my own
C G
Mmm, I'm not ready but I can't go back in time
Am F
I know it's all out of my control now I know
[Chorus]
C
Guess my childhood is over
Now I'm taking down the posters
G
And I'm putting all my things
inside a box next to a toaster
Am
That's my closest thing to closure
I can't stop this roller coaster
F
I'm not ready to get older,
I'm not ready to get older
C
Guess my childhood is over
Now I'm taking down my posters
G
And I'm telling all my friends
we'll get together next October
Am
That's my closest thing to closure
I can't stop this roller coaster
F
I'm not ready to get older,
I'm not ready to get older
[Post-Chorus]
C
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
G
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
Am F
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
[Bridge]
C
Guess my childhood is over
One day I'll be buying posters for my
G
kids just like my parents
Did for me, it's never over
Am
They'll grow up and soon enough
they'll wish that time
would just move slower
F
I'm not ready to get older,
I'm not ready to get older
[Chorus]
C
Guess my childhood is over
Now I'm taking down the posters
G
And I'm putting all my things
inside a box next to a toaster
Am
That's my closest thing to closure
I can't stop this roller coaster
F
I'm not ready to get older,
I'm not ready to get older
C
Guess my childhood is over
Now I'm taking down my posters
G
And I'm telling all my friends
we'll get together next October
Am
That's my closest thing to closure
I can't stop this roller coaster
F
I'm not ready to get older,
I'm not ready to get older
[Outro]
