Act My Age

A                           
I'm thirty-something going on 
    F#m
thirteen
D                   E
Still a sponge to everything
A                             
Saucer eyes wide, yeah, I still 
   F#m
believe
D
And a sparkle in my steps
E
Smiling with my teeth

[Pre-Chorus]
A                              
They say that I might lose my Midas 
F#m
touch
D                      E
They also say I may become 
irrelevant
A                           F#m
But who the fuck are they anyway?
D            E
I don't care what they say

[Chorus]
A
I won't act my age
F#m                       D      
Time is just an invention man has
   E
 made
A
No, I won't act my age
F#m                       D      
It's just my reflection that is 
      E
out of date
A
'Cause it's all in your attitude
F#m
It's all in your point of view
D              E
I won't act my age
A                                 
Just need a little bit of Peter 
      F#m
Pan and some imagination
D                  E
No, I won't act my age

A                         F#m
So, I recommend that you lose your 
mind
D                            
It was the only thing that was 
      E
keeping me behind

[Pre-Chorus]
A                    F#m
They say curb your curiosity
D                         E
They also say prepare to amend your 
dreams
A                          F#m
But who the fuck are they anyway?
D                       E
I don't care what they say

[Chorus]
A
I won't act my age
F#m                       D

[Bridge]
A                        F#m
How old would you be? Yeah
D                        E
How old would you really be
A                    F#m
If you didn't know, yeah
D                     E
How old you really were?
A                       F#m
How old would you be? Yeah
D                        E
How old would you really be
