|Cmaj7    Am7    |Fmaj7     |Cmaj7    Am7    |Fmaj7     |

       |Cmaj7              Am7                     |Fmaj7                |
when am i gonna stop being wise beyond my years and just start being wise
       |Cmaj7                Am7                  |Fmaj7   |
when am i gonna stop being a pretty young thing to guys
       |Cmaj7              Am7                 |Fmaj7                |
when am i gonna stop being great for my age and just start being good
         |Cmaj7                    Am7         |Fmaj7   |
when will it stop being cool to be quietly misunderstood

    |Em7          E7           |F           C   |
i’ll blow out the candles happy birthday to me
        |Em7         E7                |F     C   |
got your whole life ahead of you you’re only 19
     |Dm                                           |Fm   |
but i fear that they already got all the best parts of me
       |Dm                                      |Fm6      |24Fm6   |
and i’m sorry that i couldn’t always be your teenage dream

         |44C                       Em                 |Fmaj7                 |
when does  wide-eyed affection and all good intentions start to not be enough
         |C                   Em                |Fmaj7    |
when will everyone have every reason to call all my bluffs
        |C                 Em                       |Fmaj7            |
when are all my excuses of learning my lessons gonna start to feel sad
      |C                        Em                   |Fmaj7   |
will i spend all the rest of my years wishing i could go back

    |Em7          E7           |F           C   |
i’ll blow out the candles happy birthday to me
