♫ Verse 1:
C                       Csus4    C
  Look at us, we made it out alive
G/B   Am                          F                C
        Those were the years that I learnt to survive
Csus4  C                 Csus4        C
  Maybe youth ain't the time of our lives
G/B   Am      F           C       Csus4
        They just romanticise it
C               Csus4          C
  Met you at a party on Halloween
G/B   Am                      F       C
        You were studying at university
Csus4       C                  Csus4               C
  And all your friends would laugh and joke about me
Em        Am             F              C
But I didn't mind being a punchline at sixteen

♫ Chorus:
                       F     G
I liked that you were older
                   Am           C
But at the time I didn't understand
                   F
It's 'cause you held the power
G                        Am                  C
  And I thought love was meant to feel like that
               F
All the things I gave you
G                    Am                  C
  Now I wish I could take them all right back
                  F
'Cause I wasn't a woman yet
G                Am   C
  But you were a man
           F        G             C   Csus4
I was just a girl in love with a man

♫ Verse 2:
C                      F                  C
  And it felt like a twisted game you'd play
G/B   Am                      F          C
        Of who could take my innocence away
    Csus4   C
But it wasn't yours
F               C
No, never yours to claim
   G/B         Am              F             C
I thought that to love was to give yourself away

♫ Chorus:
                 F
It sent me into orbit
G                   Am              C
  Knowing that you wanted me like that
         F
Didn't see a problem
G                   Am              C
  It's only now I'm older, looking back
              F
Made me feel so special
G               Am              C
  Now the only thing I feel is mad
            F
'Cause I wasn't a woman yet
G                 Am   C
  But you were a man
      F              G           Dm
I wasn't a woman yet,  but now I am

♫ Bridge:

You'd pick me up in your car
          F
We'd go speeding down the lanes
                 Dm
I'd meet you in town
                          F
With my fake ID, claiming I was 23
             Dm
To get into bars

I'd never felt so cool and
  F                               Dm
Now I know you probably knew that I
                         F
Would do anything to impress you
           Dm                   F
And now I wonder, is that how they get you?

♫ Chorus:
                    F
They say that your youth is
Dm                 Am           C
  Meant to be the time of your life
F         G
But I feel ******* stupid
                  Am           C
That I was crying over older guys
                     F        G
Bet they don't think about it
                   Am              C
Wish I knew what I know now back then
             F              G
'Cause I wasn't a woman yet
                Am   C
But you were a man
         F         G              C
I was just a girl in love with a man
