INTRO: B A E B A E
VERSE ONE:
B
Seven years old, everything was right
A E
Table for four on a Friday night
B A E
Didn't see any signs of a dead end road
B
By the time I was ten, everything was changing
A E
Fell asleep every night prayin'
B A E
Didn't know which way to go
F# B E
Mama did her best to hide her anger
F# B E
And I did my best to try and save her
CHORUS:
B Bmaj7
I was a little too young and a little too dumb
G#m E
To ever think the day would come
B Bmaj7 E F#
When dad would drive away and take his love with him
B Bmaj7
So I grew up fast in a whole new world
G#m E
Waved goodbye to that little girl
B Bmaj7 E
I can see her now โ innocent and seven
E F# B A E
I wish I had never turned 11
B A E
Whoa, oh
VERSE TWO:
B
We moved into a smaller house
A E
How mama did it, oh, I donโt know how
B A E
Never went to bed without eating
B
At thirteen, I finally realized
A E
What it means to get on with your life
B A E
But daddy sure did, and he made it look easy
F# B E
Mama did her best to hide the struggle
F# B E
And I did my best to stay out of trouble
CHORUS:
B Bmaj7
I was a little too young and a little too dumb
G#m E
To ever think the day would come
B Bmaj7 E F#
When dad would drive away and take his love with him
B Bmaj7
So I grew up fast in a whole new world
G#m E
Waved goodbye to that little girl
B Bmaj7 E
I can see her now โ innocent and seven
E F# B
I wish I had never turned 11
BRIDGE:
G#m
I wish that I could turn back time
E B Bmaj7
And tell myself itโll be alright
C# C#m D#m E
Youโre never gonna lose the light in your eyes
CHORUS:
B Bmaj7 G#m E
I was a little too young and a little too dumb
B Bmaj7 G#m E
To ever think the day would come
B Bmaj7
So I grew up fast in a whole new world
G#m E
Waved goodbye to that little girl
B Bmaj7 E
I can see her now โ innocent and seven

I wish I had never turned 11

I wish I had never turned 11
