G C
Verse 1:
G
Rosy cheeks, baby teeth

Riding bikes and grazing knees
C
Chocolate-covered strawberries
C
Fake tattoos up our sleeves
G
Mom's blush on my cheeks
G
Like a boy, he's kinda sweet
C
Breaking up after a week
C
We still talk, but never married
Pre-Chorus:
G
I want to but I can't go back, life's a one-way street
C G
Then growing up and getting older is like driving high speed
D C
And I can't hit the brakes and that's the part I hate
Chorus:
G
Losing the training wheels means I'm gonna fall
Am7
Just 'cause I’m wearing heels, doesn't mean I feel tall
G D
If I keep the candles burning
Am7 C
The years would still be turning
G
Losing the training wheels means losing control
Am7
Just 'cause I'm older now doesn't mеan I feel whole
G D
I wish the years won't bе turning
Am7 C
If I keep the candles burning
Verse 2:
G
What if I'm a liability
G
Or not who they want me to be?
C
If my thoughts get the best of me
C
I still call mom when it gets heavy
G D
My little brother shot past my height
C Am7
Can't fit on my dad's shoulders if I tried
Pre-Chorus:
G
I want to but I can't go back, life's a one-way street
C G
Then growing up and getting older is like driving high speed
D C
And I can't hit the brakes and that's the part I hate
Chorus:
G
Losing the training wheels means I'm gonna fall
Am7
Just 'cause I’m wearing heels, doesn't mean I feel tall
G D
If I keep the candles burning
Am7 C
The years would still be turning
G
Losing the training wheels means losing control
Am7
Just 'cause I'm older now doesn't mеan I feel whole
G D
I wish the years won't bе turning
Am7 C
If I keep the candles burning
Bridge:
G D C
Lost parts of me, kinda sad to think about
Am7 G
How fast moments pass, oh, I'm thinking way too loud
D C Am7
Still in this town, what if I never get out? (What if I never get out )
G D C
Oh, I'm still me, learn to swim, but almost drown
Am7 G
Died once or twice when the guys I loved walked out
D C
But I'm still here with both my feet on the ground
Am7 G*
Blow another candle out, think I'm finally happy now
Outro:
G
I lost the training wheels and learned how to fall
C
And now I'm wearing heels, sometimes I still feel small
G D
I wished the years won't be turning
Am7 C G*
If I keep the candles, keep the candles burning
