Alec Benjamin - Older Chords

[Verse 1]
C
I'm not prepared for the future
G
So many things that I just don't know, I
Am
Cut my hair, bought a new shirt
             Em
New pair of shoes and
 
It's time to go, I
C
Finally found an apartment
G
Signed a lease on a car this month, I
Am
Can't go back to the start now
              Am
Time doesn't slow down
 
I'm on my own.
 
 
[Chorus]
          C
Guess my childhood is over
          G
Now I'm taking down my posters
         Am                            Em
And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster
          C
That's my closest thing to closure
          G
I can't stop this roller coaster
         Am                          Em
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older.
 
 
          C
Guess my childhood is over
          G
Now I'm taking down my posters
         Am                              Em
And I'm telling all my friends we'll get together next October
          C
That's my closest thing to closure
          G
I can't stop this roller coaster
         Am                          Em
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older.
 
 
[Interlude]
         C                    G
Babumbum bummmm badadadadadum
                    Am
Bummmm badadadadadum
                             Em
Babumbum bummmm badadadadadum
 
Bumdum bumdum
 
 
[Verse 2]
C
Never thought I'll be 20
G
Now 30 don't seem so far away
Am
I know I gotta make a little money
                     Em
Then maybe find somebody
 
To call my own.
C
Mmm I'm ready but I
G
Can't go back in time I
Am
Know it's all out of my control
G
Now I know.
 
 
[Chorus]
          C
Guess my childhood is over
          G
Now I'm taking down my posters
         Am                            Em
And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster
          C
That's my closest thing to closure
          G
I can't stop this roller coaster
         Am                          Em
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older.
 
 
          C
Guess my childhood is over
          G
Now I'm taking down my posters
         Am                              Em
And I'm telling all my friends we'll get together next October
          C
That's my closest thing to closure
          G
I can't stop this roller coaster
         Am                          Em
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older.

         C                    G
Babumbum bummmm badadadadadum
                    Am
Bummmm badadadadadum
                             Em
Babumbum bummmm badadadadadum
 
Bumdum bumdum
 
 
[Bridge]
          C
Guess my childhood is over
          G
One day I'll be buying posters
       Am                                 Em
For my kids just like my parents did for me, it's never over
             C                                    G
They'll grow up and soon enough they'll wish that time would just move slower
         Am                          Em
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older
 
 
[Chorus]
          C
Guess my childhood is over
          G
Now I'm taking down my posters
         Am                            Em
And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster
          C
That's my closest thing to closure
          G
I can't stop this roller coaster
         Am                          Em
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older.
 
 
          C
Guess my childhood is over
          G
Now I'm taking down my posters
         Am                              Em
And I'm telling all my friends we'll get together next October
          C
That's my closest thing to closure
          G
I can't stop this roller coaster
         Am                          Em
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older.
