[Verse]
GI can see you standing all alone
At a party you don’t Cadd9know no one
And it smells of beer and everybody here
Is from the citEmy
You never liked them said ‘their boots were far to big’
When you were Cadd9with me, said my darling
‘Promise Dhere outside the bathroom’
[Verse]
G‘You will never become one of them’
Obnoxious smoking Cadd9high end cigarettes
Name dropping shakespeare off the heads.
EmYour words washed over me mouthwash mixed with arrogance
A Cadd9little boy who held a drink, and Dthought that made him qualified to Cadd9tell me, I Dembarrass him
[Chorus]
Now the Emroom is blasting house music,
I Cfeel like I might lose it
GEverybody here is killing Dtime
EmPour more in my cup prove it
CI’m just as much grown up as you,
I’ll Gdance til I forget the reasons Dwhy
We even turned up in the Cadd9first place
Why I am with you in the Cmfirst place
[Verse]
GI bet somebody turns the speakers up
Blasting some old Cadd9green day song
And you will say, that ‘they were way better a couple
EmYears ago’ and heads will nod as if your word is law the teenage
Cadd9Music connoisseur self Dassured I bet from all your years of Cadd9private school
Fresh faced, Dpolitical
[Chorus]
Now the Emroom is blasting house music
I Cfeel like I might lose it
GEverybody here is killing Dtime
EmPretending to be rich and famous
CReally we’re all lost and aimless
SeGarching for the best that we can Dfind
And then you’ll try to knock me Cadd9down a peg
And I will wonder why I’m Cmhere again
[Bridge]
GPromising we wont be like our Cadd9parents
EmHonestly I’m past the point of Dcaring 
GWhy all my views are fully formed or Cadd9rounded
When it comes down to it you’re Emjust as small town 
Little fish as Dme don’t you see your crown
Is made of books
That you Cadd9brag about when really
Have Dyou even looked past the WikiCadd9pedia page
Is this your Dgrown up phase?
[Chorus]
EmNow the room is blasting house music,
I Cfeel like I might lose it
GEverybody here is killing Dtime
EmPour more in my cup prove it
CI’m just as much grown up as you,
I’ll Gdance til I forget the reasons Dwhy
We even turned up in the Cadd9first place
Why I am with you in the Cmfirst placeG
