 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 and it's time to 
go
C
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

  C
Guess my childhood is over

Now I'm taking down my 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

I'm not ready to get older

(C  G  Am  F)

  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
                    F
Then maybe find somebody to call my 
own
  C
Mmm, I'm not ready
       G
But I can't go back in time
 Am                         F
I know it's all out of my control

Now I know

Guess my childhood is over

Now I'm taking down my posters

   C
Guess my childhood is over

One day I'll be buying posters
 G
For my 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
