(She used a capo on the 7th fret instead of the 8th!)

[Verse]
G
I can see you standing all alone
           Cadd9
At a party you don’t know no one
And it smells of beer and everybody here
        Em
Is from the city
You never liked them said ‘their boots were far to big’
       Cadd9
When you were with me, said my darling
     D
‘Promise here outside the bathroom’

[Verse]
G
‘You will never become one of them’
         Cadd9
Obnoxious smoking high end cigarettes
Name dropping shakespeare off the heads.
Em
Your words washed over me mouthwash mixed with arrogance
 Cadd9              D                 Cadd9   D
A little boy who held a drink, and thought that made him qualified to tell me, I embarrass him

[Chorus]
    Em
Now the room is blasting house music,
 C
I feel like I might lose it
G             D
Everybody here is killing time
Em
Pour more in my cup prove it
C
I’m just as much grown up as you,
   G               D
I’ll dance til I forget the reasons why
             Cadd9
We even turned up in the first place
             Cm
Why I am with you in the first place

[Verse]
G
I bet somebody turns the speakers up
         Cadd9
Blasting some old green day song
And you will say, that ‘they were way better a couple
Em
Years ago’ and heads will nod as if your word is law the teenage
Cadd9         D                  Cadd9
Music connoisseur self assured I bet from all your years of private school
       D
Fresh faced, political

[Chorus]
    Em
Now the room is blasting house music
 C
I feel like I might lose it
G             D
Everybody here is killing time
Em
Pretending to be rich and famous
C
Really we’re all lost and aimless
 G                D
Searching for the best that we can find
                Cadd9
And then you’ll try and pull me down a peg
             Cm
And I will wonder why I’m here again

[Bridge]
G               Cadd9
Promising we wont be like our parents
Em               D
Honestly I’m past the point of caring
G                  Cadd9
Why all my views are fully formed or rounded
                Em
When it comes down to it you’re just as small town
        D
Little fish as me don’t you see your crown
Is made of books
     Cadd9
That you brag about when really
   D              Cadd9
Have you even looked past the Wikipedia page
       D
Is this your grown up phase?

[Chorus]
Em
Now the room is blasting house music,
 C
I feel like I might lose it
G             D
Everybody here is killing time
Em
Pour more in my cup prove it
C
I’m just as much grown up as you,
   G               D
I’ll dance til I forget the reasons why
             Cadd9
We even turned up in the first place
