Older chords by Alec Benjamin

[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]

C
  Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
G
  Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
Am                   F
  Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
 
C
