Life After 25

G                   Bm/F#
I was like you when I was your age
  Em                       B/D#
A little self-conscious, a little staged
Em                   G/D                 C
Wanting the world to know how clever I thought I was

  G                         Bm/F#
I don't mean to judge or to patronise
     Em                            B/D#
God, don't look at me, 'cause I'll never be wise
     Em                      G/D                   C         Cmaj7
I've fucked the best moments up in my life for the sake of it

[Pre-chorus]
 D/C D         Em
Oh, you're a walking disaster
D/F#
Plain as day to see
 D/C        D
Oh, and it takes one to know one
B      B/D#    B/F#
I know how you feel

[Chorus]
Em C           G         B7
Oh, we'll be alright, alright
       Em                      C          G   B7
'Cause I've heard that there's life after 25, ahh
  Em                          C
I know your result and you're being emphatic
  G                                 B7
I know what you're like and you're very dramatic
    Em                      C           G   B7 B/D# B/F#
But I've heard that there's life after 25

[Verse]

G                 Bm/F#
Heaven above and heaven forbid
          Em                          B/D#
You don't read the right books and you don't want to live
Em                   G/D                 C
The way that they think you should in the Sunday supplement (on Sundays we say)

G                    Bm/F#
Everyone's happy and everyone's fine
       Em                 B/D#
'Cause everyone's ironic all of the time
     Em                      G/D      C     Cmaj7
And don't you just wish for something real?

[Pre-chorus]
 D/C D         Em
Oh, you're a walking disaster
Em                  D/F#
Come over here, sit down with me
 D/C D
Yeah, 'cause I know what it's like
B      B/D#    B/F#
I know the way you feel

[Chorus]
Em C           G         B7
Oh, we'll be alright, alright
       Em                      C          G   B7
'Cause I've heard that there's life after 25, ahh
  Em                          C
I know your result and you're being emphatic
  G                                 B7
I know what it's like and you're very dramatic
    Em                      C           G   B7 B/D# B/F#
But I've heard that there's life after 25, oh

[Verse]

G                      Bm/F#
Can't we be honest and can't we just say things like
Em                      B/D#
"Indie, it's all a bit shit anyway"
Em             G/D               C      Cmaj7
And who really cares 'bout being cool?

[Pre-chorus]
 D/C D         Em
Oh, you're a walking disaster
Em                  D/F#
Come over here, sit down with me
 D/C D
Yeah, 'cause I know what it's like
  Em               D/F#
I know the way it feels
 D/C D         Em            D/F#         D/C D B7 B/D# B/F#
Oh, you're a walking disaster

[Chorus]
Em C           G         B7
Oh, we'll be alright, alright
       Em                      C          G   B7
'Cause I've heard that there's life after 25, ahh
  Em                          C
I know your result and you're being emphatic
  G                                 B7
I know what it's like and you're very dramatic
    Em                      C           G   B7
But I've heard that there's life after 25, I
Em                      C           G   B7
I've heard that there's life after 25, I
Em                      C           G
I've heard that there's life after 25 ("I like that, it's nice innit?")
