  GI say Bowie was wrong twenty-fDive is just fine
  BmBut twenty-three is the Ahardest age to be
  DI'm no longer Bminvincible
but I'm not Gold enough to be wise
I have Abags under my eyes and RSI
  DI still party like there's Bmno tomorrow
Even Gthough the thrill is through 
But toAmorrow I have a job interview
BmTwenty-three is the Ghardest age to be
You can Bmgive me twenty-four anytime you lAike
  DAt twenty-five my pre-frontal Bmcortex will be fully developed
Right Gnow it's not quite
But that's Anot an excuse to sleep all day and stay up half the night, and
 DI've learned nothing about Bmsavings and even less about love 
And I wanna Gtake you out tonight
But I oAwe 40 grand to the government, and
BmTwenty-three is the Ghardest age to be 
I'll take Bmforty-six and accomplished any day, any dAay, any da-ay
All the Bmthirty year olds I know, know exGactly who they are
They have carBmeers to define them
And Amoney for cashew nuts and good wine
When BmI was twenty-one I only Gknew that I was drunk
And the Bmstudent of some universiAty - once that was enough for me
But Gnow I'd like to be twenty-nine if you pAlease, because
BmTwenty-three is the hGardest age to be
  DBring on my birthday, bring on that Bmsweet sweet birthday cake
Send me some Gmoney from grandma
Get me oAut of this terrible age please
  DBring on my birthday we'll go out for BmBYO Japanese
With my Gmoney from grandma
Oh this Apurgatory is killing me
DTwenty-three is the Bmhardest
GTwenty-three is the Ahardest age to be now
DTwenty-three is the Bmha-arde-est
GTwenty-three is the Ahardest age, it's the hardest age, Mr. BowieD
