Verse:
Dm
He’s stuck in a loop, he and his troops,
                                  Bbm
Smart looking suits, he wants to be juvenile.
Dm
He’s dying his hair gray back to black,
                              Bbm
Painting his bag, he has to be versatile.


Chorus:
F                          G
 Life is short, youth even shorter
            Bb
But he will bend, try to extend,

Act like a fully young man.
             F         G
He’s getting high on a common place
             Bb                            Dm
Like when he tries to be teenager for life.

 His mother complains it’s getting late,

Start losing fate, “where are my grandchildren?”
Dm
 Your girlfriend, each month, McDonald’s for lunch,
                           Bbm
Plays in a band, she sees a point in men.


Chorus:
F                          G
 Life is short, youth even shorter
            Bb
But he will bend, try to extend,

Act like a fully young man.
             F         G
He’s getting high on a common place
             Bb                            
Like when he tries to be teenager for life.

For he's a, teenager for life.
