Guess my childhood is over
                        A
Now I'm taking down the posters

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

I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older

And I'm telling all my friends we'll get together next October

I can't stop this roller coaster

I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older

Never thought I'd be twenty

I know it's all out of my control now I know
