[Verse]
G+G
I can see you standing all alone
                     Cadd9Cadd9
At a party you don’t know no one
And it smells of beer and everybody here
               E minorEm
Is from the city
You never liked them said ‘their boots were far to big’
              Cadd9Cadd9
When you were with me, said my darling
         D MajorD
‘Promise here outside the bathroom’


[Verse]
G+G
‘You will never become one of them’
                  Cadd9Cadd9
Obnoxious smoking high end cigarettes
Name dropping shakespeare off the heads.
E minorEm
Your words washed over me mouthwash mixed with arrogance
  Cadd9Cadd9                            D MajorD                                  Cadd9Cadd9      D MajorD
A augmentedA little boy who held a drink, and thought that made him qualified to tell me, I embarrass him


[Chorus]
        E minorEm
Now the room is blasting house music,
  C majorC
I feel like I might lose it
G+G                         D MajorD
Everybody here is killing time
E minorEm
Pour more in my cup prove it
C majorC
I’m just as much grown up as you,
     G+G                              D MajorD
I’ll dance til I forget the reasons why
                         Cadd9Cadd9
We even turned up in the first place
                         C minorCm
Why I am with you in the first place

[Verse]
G+G
I bet somebody turns the speakers up
                  Cadd9Cadd9
Blasting some old green day song
And you will say, that ‘they were way better a couple
E minorEm
Years ago’ and heads will nod as if your word is law the teenage
Cadd9Cadd9                  D MajorD                                    Cadd9Cadd9
Music connoisseur self assured I bet from all your years of private school
             D MajorD
Fresh faced, political


[Chorus]
        E minorEm
Now the room is blasting house music
  C majorC
I feel like I might lose it
G+G                         D MajorD
Everybody here is killing time
E minorEm
Pretending to be rich and famous
C majorC
Really we’re all lost and aimless
  G+G                                D MajorD
Searching for the best that we can find
                                Cadd9Cadd9
And then you’ll try and pull me down a peg
                          C minorCm
And I will wonder why I’m here again


[Bridge]
G+G                             Cadd9Cadd9
Promising we wont be like our parents
E minorEm                             D MajorD
Honestly I’m past the point of caring
G+G                                    Cadd9Cadd9
Why all my views are fully formed or rounded
                                E minorEm
When it comes down to it you’re just as small town
               D MajorD
Little fish as me don’t you see your crown
Is made of books
         Cadd9Cadd9
That you brag about when really
     D MajorD                            Cadd9Cadd9
Have you even looked past the Wikipedia page
             D MajorD
Is this your grown up phase?


[Chorus]
E minorEm
Now the room is blasting house music,
  C majorC
I feel like I might lose it
G+G                         D MajorD
Everybody here is killing time
E minorEm
Pour more in my cup prove it
C majorC
I’m just as much grown up as you,
     G+G                              D MajorD
I’ll dance til I forget the reasons why
                         Cadd9Cadd9
We even turned up in the first place
                         C minorCm
