C#She's in love and the world gets blurry
She F#makes mistakes and she's in no hurry to A#grow up
Cause grown ups, they don't undersG#tand her
Well it's a C#big, big world out there
But she's not scared, F#she thinks that nobody cares 
About her A#problems
And she's probably G#right
A#But it's alright
You'll be fine
If you just F#listen to G#me
C#Woah-oh-woah-oh-woah
F#Woah-oh-woah-oh-woah
We get one stA#ep closer but we're G#still so far awF#ay
C#Woah-oh-woah-oh-woah
F#Woah-oh-woah-oh-woah
It's too bad A#empty bottles couldn't G#save her life todF#ay
She finds hope in the strangest places
She reads her books and knows all the faces 
of everyone that ever said she's alone
She knows every word to the saddest songs
And she sings along though her friends all tell her
That she can't sing
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
C#She's eighteen
Much too young to G#know what a kiss like that would mean
But her lA#ips
They were no G#stranger to the tF#ouch
And she likes it way too muchC#  
She never listened to a G#word her daddy told her
She finds A#company with her G#cigarettes
And F#feels alone when the sun sets
And C#please
Don't let this be G#love
How can it be A#enough
This G#college town is too sF#mall for both of us
C#And so we're running away
G#We'll pack our bags and take the first train
A#And we're getting the hell out of here
F#This place could burn for all we care
C#This place could G#burn for all we A#care
G#Only till thF#en
Chorus

Chords in this song · guitar

She's in love and the world gets blurry

F# A#

She makes mistakes and she's in no hurry to grow up

Cause grown ups, they don't understand her

Well it's a big, big world out there

But she's not scared, she thinks that nobody cares

About her problems

And she's probably right

But it's alright

You'll be fine

F# G#

If you just listen to me

Woah-oh-woah-oh-woah

A# G# F#

We get one step closer but we're still so far away

Woah-oh-woah-oh-woah

A# G# F#

It's too bad empty bottles couldn't save her life today

She finds hope in the strangest places

She reads her books and knows all the faces

of everyone that ever said she's alone

She knows every word to the saddest songs

And she sings along though her friends all tell her

That she can't sing

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

She's eighteen

Much too young to know what a kiss like that would mean

But her lips

G# F#

They were no stranger to the touch

And she likes it way too much

She never listened to a word her daddy told her

A# G#

She finds company with her cigarettes

And feels alone when the sun sets

And please

Don't let this be love

How can it be enough

G# F#

This college town is too small for both of us

And so we're running away

We'll pack our bags and take the first train

And we're getting the hell out of here

This place could burn for all we care

C# G# A#

This place could burn for all we care

G# F#

Only till then

Chorus
