I'm not prepared for the future 
 Am                                F 
So many things that I just don't know 
 C                             G 
I cut my hair, bought a new shirt 
  Am                                F 
New pair of shoes and it's time to go 
C                     G 
I finally found an apartment 
   Am                         F 
Signed a lease on a car this month 
 C                            G     Am 
I can't go back to the start now, time doesn't slow down 
            F 
I'm on my own 

  C                    G 
Guess my childhood is over 
 Am                      F 
Now I'm taking down my posters 
  C                                     G 
And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster 
  Am                         F 
That's my closest thing to closure 
 C                         G 
I can't stop this roller coaster 
  Am                    F     Am            F 
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older

Now I'm taking down my posters 
  C                    G 
And I'm telling all my friends we'll get together next October 
  Am                    F 
That's my closest thing to closure

  Am                    F     Am            F 
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older 

  C                   G 
Never thought I'd be twenty 
 Am                       F 
And thirty don't seem so far away 
 C                             G 
I know I gotta make a little money 
  Am                          F 
Then maybe find somebody to call my own 
  C                        G 
Mmm, I'm not ready, but I can't go back in time 
 Am                         F 
I know it's all out of my control 
  C     F 
Now I know

One day I'll be buying posters 
 C                         G 
For my kids just like my parents did for me 
  Am         G 
It's never over 
  C                        G       C      G 
They'll grow up and soon enough they'll wish that time would just 
Move slower 
 Am                   F      Am             F 
I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older
