Intro:

D A C#

Verse 1:
     D            A                       C#                    F#m
When I was five I thought sixteen was the epitome of "all grown up"
           D
I'd have a boyfriend and a car
       A                       C#
And my best friend from first grade
       D                A
I'd be tall and skinny as a rail
     C#                  F#m     E
The stake in which boy's hearts impaled
         D
I'd have knowledge enough
      Dm                                  A
For a large group of friends and straight A's

Chorus:
  D                 A
I must have gone to Jupiter
       C#             F#m
'Cause all I got was stupider
         D          A              C#
And I'm also really bad at making friends
        D                       A
I don't wake up early to put my hair in curls
       C#             F#m     Esus4
And on top of it all I like girls
     D               Dm           A
So I guess I failed myself in the end

Verse 2:
D               A                        C#           F#m
Growing up, my parents expectations were ten times my height
         D.
I didn't think I could make them,
    A                 C#
but everyone made me try
 D                  A
Now that I stand at 5'11"
  C#                F#m           Esus4
I meet the standard set when I was seven
       D                 Dm               A
But my plan for life has gone completely awry

Chorus:
    D             A
My childhood self felt so sure
 C#            F#m
I must look so dumb to her
     D              A                C#
I've waited for sixteen since I was three
     D                A
I've made the mark my parent's want
        C#               F#m     E
But my zest for life is totally gone
     D             Dm            A
So I guess, I only failed little me

Bridge:
         D                 A
I guess life never turns out how you want
      C#             F#m
But I only want one thing
          D                      A                     C#
I want to be a person that would make five year old me proud
  D                              A
I may not have a boyfriend, or a car or good looks
      C#                             F#m
But at least there's an interesting path that I took
      D                     Dm          A
And I learned how to stand out from a crowd

Verse 3:
D                            A
I'll never impress childhood me
         C#                         F#m       F#m7
If she knew how she turned out it'd crush her dreams
D                       A           C#
I'm not at all who she wanted me to be
D                                 A
My life when down in shambles and up in flames
C#                F#m     F#m7
So much for her fantasy games
  D                          Dm                    A
I wish I could pretend I was who she pretended was me

Chorus:
  D                 A
I must have gone to Jupiter
       C#             F#m
'Cause all I got was stupider
         D          A              C#
And I'm also really bad at making friends
        D                       A
I don't wake up early to put my hair in curls
       C#             F#m     Esus4
And on top of it all I like girls
     D               Dm           A
So I guess I failed myself in the end
