Alec Benjamin - Older

[verse 1]
D
I'm not prepared for the future
A
So many things that I just don't know
  Bm
I cut my hair, bought a new shirt,
            G
new pair of shoes

And it's time to go,
 D
I finally found an apartment
A
Signed a lease on a car this month
  Bm
I can't go back to the start now,
             G
time doesn't slow down

I'm on my own

[chorus]
         D
Guess my childhood is over

Now I'm taking down the posters
        A
And I'm putting all my things
inside a box next to a toaster
          Bm
That's my closest thing to closure

I can't stop this roller coaster
        G
I'm not ready to get older,
I'm not ready to get older

         D
Guess my childhood is over

Now I'm taking down my posters
        A
And I'm telling all my friends
we'll get together next October
          Bm
That's my closest thing to closure

I can't stop this roller coaster
        G
I'm not ready to get older,
I'm not ready to get older

[post-chorus]
D
  Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
A
  Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
Bm                    G
  Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

[verse 2]
D
Never thought I'd be twenty
    A
And thirty don't seem so far away
  Bm
I know I gotta make a little money
                    G
then maybe find somebody

To call my own
D                          A
 Mmm, I'm not ready but I can't go back in time
  Bm                        G
I know it's all out of my control now I know

[chorus]
         D
Guess my childhood is over

Now I'm taking down the posters
        A
And I'm putting all my things

inside a box next to a toaster
          Bm
That's my closest thing to closure

I can't stop this roller coaster
        G
I'm not ready to get older,

I'm not ready to get older
         D
Guess my childhood is over

Now I'm taking down my posters
        A
And I'm telling all my friends

we'll get together next October
          Bm
That's my closest thing to closure

I can't stop this roller coaster
        G
I'm not ready to get older,

I'm not ready to get older

[post-chorus]
D
  Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
A
  Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
Bm                   G
  Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

[bridge]
         D
Guess my childhood is over

One day I'll be buying posters
       A
for my kids just like my parents

Did for me, it's never over
             Bm
They'll grow up and soon enough
they'll wish that time would just move slower
        G
I'm not ready to get older,
I'm not ready to get older

[chorus]
         D
Guess my childhood is over

Now I'm taking down the posters
        A
And I'm putting all my things

inside a box next to a toaster
          Bm
That's my closest thing to closure

I can't stop this roller coaster
        G
I'm not ready to get older,

I'm not ready to get older
