"Wishing I Was 23"
Maybe she's jusCt too old for me
Living in a teGenage fantasy
Feeling there's Amso much we could be
She's got me wFishing
Wishing I was 2C3
     FYeCah she's crazy but I don't caGre
She's sexy and she's a milAmlionaire
The way she gets me is so unfFair
Not your typical rich girl
She's smoking hoCt, if you know what I meGan
Tight jeans and she loves her photogAmraphy
And everything that's in beFtween
She's been around the world
I kCnow
She's graduated
And I'm Gnot
Quite educated
I'm yoAmung, you know
FAge is overrated
Maybe she's juCst too old for me
Living in a teeGnage fantasy
Feeling there's sAmo much we could be
Every time I'm wFith her
Calling me a dreamer
Maybe she's jCust out of my reach
Maybe her boGyfriend's a marine
Even though I'm nAmameless (Hey!)
She's fFamous (Hey!)
She's got me wishing
Wishing I was C23
Whoa-oCh
WhoaG-oh-oh
Wishing I was Am23
Whoa-oh
She's got me wiFshing
Wishing i was C23
I thCink about her everyday
Going inGsane thinking about what to sAmay
What am I doing anywaFy?
Am I even on her radar?
I kCnow
She's graduated
And I'm Gnot
Quite educated
I'm yoAmung, you know
FAge is overrated
Maybe she's juCst too old for me
Living in a teeGnage fantasy
Feeling there's sAmo much we could be
Every time I'm wFith her
Calling me a dreamer
Maybe she's jCust out of my reach
Maybe her boGyfriend's a marine
Even though I'm nAmameless (Hey!)
She's fFamous (Hey!)
She's got me wishing
Wishing I was C23
Whoa-oCh
WhoaG-oh-oh
Wishing I was Am23
Whoa-oh
She's got me wiFshing
Wishing I Was C23
    AmAnd if I was olderG  
She would let me take her
    CTo watch the stars at night
We can daFnce we can kiss
Underneath moonlight
    AmAnd if it got colderG  
She would let me hold her
    CWrapped up in fairy tales
Got to wake up frFom this dream
Maybe she's juCst too old for me
Living in a teeGnage fantasy
Feeling there's sAmo much we could be
Every time I'm wFith her
Calling me a dreamer
Maybe she's jCust out of my reach
Maybe her boGyfriend's a marine
Even though I'm nAmameless (Hey!)

"Wishing I Was 23"

Maybe she's just too old for me

Living in a teenage fantasy

Feeling there's so much we could be

She's got me wishing

Wishing I was 23

F C G

Yeah she's crazy but I don't care

She's sexy and she's a millionaire

The way she gets me is so unfair

Not your typical rich girl

C G

She's smoking hot, if you know what I mean

Tight jeans and she loves her photography

And everything that's in between

She's been around the world

I know

She's graduated

And I'm not

Quite educated

I'm young, you know

Age is overrated

Maybe she's just too old for me

Living in a teenage fantasy

Feeling there's so much we could be

Every time I'm with her

Calling me a dreamer

Maybe she's just out of my reach

Maybe her boyfriend's a marine

Even though I'm nameless (Hey!)

She's famous (Hey!)

She's got me wishing

Wishing I was 23

Whoa-oh

Whoa-oh-oh

Wishing I was 23

Whoa-oh

She's got me wishing

Wishing i was 23

I think about her everyday

G Am

Going insane thinking about what to say

What am I doing anyway?

Am I even on her radar?

I know

She's graduated

And I'm not

Quite educated

I'm young, you know

Age is overrated

Maybe she's just too old for me

Living in a teenage fantasy

Feeling there's so much we could be

Every time I'm with her

Calling me a dreamer

Maybe she's just out of my reach

Maybe her boyfriend's a marine

Even though I'm nameless (Hey!)

She's famous (Hey!)

She's got me wishing

Wishing I was 23

Whoa-oh

Whoa-oh-oh

Wishing I was 23

Whoa-oh

She's got me wishing

Wishing I Was 23

Am G

And if I was older

She would let me take her

To watch the stars at night

We can dance we can kiss

Underneath moonlight

Am G

And if it got colder

She would let me hold her

Wrapped up in fairy tales

Got to wake up from this dream

Maybe she's just too old for me

Living in a teenage fantasy

Feeling there's so much we could be

Every time I'm with her

Calling me a dreamer

Maybe she's just out of my reach

Maybe her boyfriend's a marine

Even though I'm nameless (Hey!)

She's famous (Hey!)

She's got me wishing

Wishing I was 23

Whoa-oh

Whoa-oh-oh

Wishing I was 23

Whoa-oh

She's got me wishing

Wishing i was 23
