Intro:

A x8


Verse:

A
  Eighteen at a traffic light I’ve got

Nowhere to be on a Friday night
            G    D
I’ve got it all
         A
I’ve got nothing

Verse:

A
  Summer’s here and I’m finally free, I’ve got

No work to do and no one to see
            G    D
I’ve got it all
         A
I’ve got nothing

Verse:

A
  Eighteen is a funny age I’ve got

So many dreams and an empty page
            G    D
I’ve got it all
         A
I’ve got nothing

Chorus:

          F#m                 D
Everybody knows what I should do
          A                 E
Everybody works so I should too
         F#m                   D
How do I explain what feels so wrong?
                 A                    E
Dealing with the shame of knowing you don’t belong
F#m           D
So you try to smile and hope that
A                F#m
you won’t always be
E               D
Alone with your dreams
D           E
Living in between

Eighteen...

Interlude:

A  X4

Verse:

A
  Eighteen yet I feel so old like a

Bright screen with a paper soul
             G    D
I’ve seen it all
          A
I’ve seen nothing

Verse:

A
  Eighteen with a car that drives and a

Strange need just to feel alive
             G    D
I’ve seen it all
          A
I’ve seen nothing

Verse:

A
  Have you heard its a golden age? Go get your

Golden view from your golden cage
             G    D
I’ve seen it all
          A
I’ve seen nothing

Chorus:

          F#m                 D
Everybody knows what I should do
          A                 E
Everybody works so I should too
         F#m                   D
How do I explain what feels so wrong?
                 A                    E
Dealing with the shame of knowing you don’t belong
F#m           D
So you try to smile and hope that
A                F#m
you won’t always be
E               D
Alone with your dreams
D           E
Living in between

Chorus 2:

          F#m                    D
Everybody does just what they’re told
          A                      E
Everybody buys just what they’re sold
         F#m                 D
How do I escape what I can’t see?
         A                  E
How do I replace the broken parts of me?
F#m            D
No, you try to smile and hope that
A                F#m
you won’t always be
E               D
Alone with your dreams
D            E
Living in between
            A
