[Verse 1]
                            A
I'm not avoiding you, I'm waiting
                              E
I'm not so good at confrontation
 D                              A
I'm not afraid to say I'm shaking
                           E
Wish I could start a conversation
     D
(oh yeah)


[Verse 2]
A
You don’t know how lucky you are

You don’t know what’s coming next
E                              D
You don’t know how lucky you are
C#m D       E F#m
I know accidents happen
 C#m D
I played my part


[Pre-Chorus]
C#m D       E F#m
I know accidents happen
 C#m D
And it breaks my heart


[Chorus]
A                                                                      E  D
I never thought I’d tell myself it’s time I should start acting my age
A                                                                       E  D
I know I’ve done some silly things, I’ve made a few mistakes on the way
A                                                            E D
But I’ve never been on CNN, I’ve never had to cover my face
A                                                             E D
I want to make it up to you, I’ve just to start acting my age      (my age)


[Verse 3]
                         A
I’m not exactly what you wanted
                          E         D
I always took your love for granted
                         A
Pull me over, check for damage
                               E
And drive away like it's a challenge
     D
(oh yeah)


[Pre-Chorus]
C#m D        E  F#m
I know accidents happen
C#m D
I played my part


[Chorus]
A                                                                      E D
I never thought I’d tell myself it’s time I should start acting my age
A                                                                      E D
I know I’ve done some silly things, I’ve made a few mistakes on the way
A                                                            E D
But I’ve never been on CNN, I’ve never had to cover my face
A                                                               E D
I want to make it up to you, I’ve just gotta start acting my age     (my age)


[Bridge]
C#m D
You don’t know how lucky you are
E  F#m
You don’t know what’s coming next
C#m D
You don’t know how lucky you are


[Pre-Chorus]
C#m D        E F#m
I know accidents happen
C#m D
And it breaks my heart

[Chorus]
A                                                                      E D
I never thought I’d tell myself it’s time I should start acting my age
A                                                                      E D
I know I’ve done some silly things, I’ve made a few mistakes on the way
A                                                           E D
But I’ve never been on CNN, I’ve never had to cover my face
A                                                            E D
I want to make it up to you, I’ve just to start acting my age
