Selection chords: Katie Paterson

Intro: B G#m E x2

Verse:
        B                   G#m
When  gonna stop being wise beyond my years
     E
And just start being wise?
        B                      G#m                   E
When  gonna stop being a pretty young thing to guys?
        B                    G#m
When  gonna stop being great for my age
     E
And just start being good?
           B                         G#m               E
When will it stop being cool to be quietly misunderstood?

Chorus:
      D#m            D#7             E         B
Iʼll blow out the candles, happy birthday to me
           D#m         D#7                  E        B
Got your whole life ahead of you, youʼre only nineteen
       C#m                                              Em
But I fear that they already got all the best parts of me
         C#m                                     Em
And Iʼm sorry that I couldnʼt always be your teenage dream

Verse:
           B                       G#m
When does wide-eyed affection and all good intentions
  E
Start to not be enough?
           B                   G#m                 E
When will everyone have every reason to call all my bluffs?
          B                 G#m
When are all my excuses of learning my lessons
        E
Gonna start to feel sad?
         B                       G#m                   E
Will I spend all the rest of my years wishinʼ I could Go back?

Chorus:
      D#m            D#7             E         B
Iʼll blow out the candles, happy birthday to me
           D#m         D#7                  E        B
Got your whole life ahead of you, youʼre only nineteen
       C#m                                              Em
But I fear that they already got all the best parts of me
         C#m                                     Em
And Iʼm sorry that I couldnʼt always be your teenage dream
