[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
Dear [C]Sid,
[G]You think you mad[D]e it in the[G] world,
now [C]you're 18 you should know
[G]Adults aren't superheroes,
they're just kids growing old
Maturity is a choice,
that not everybody [C]chooses
[G]Dropping out of college doesn't
mean that [Em]you're [C]a loser
[G]You think you'll fig[D]ure out the[Em] world,
by [C]the time [G]you're 23
Now you're a cer[D]tified [Em]adult
that's [G]working 40 hour weeks
So many bills,
why does it cost so much to breathe?
You thought it would be easier
deciding what [C]to eat[G]
You'll still fall out of love,
and someone's always [C]mean
[G]I promise you don't wanna
be like the people on [C]TV
[G]And everything is meant to be,
you can't change what people [C]think
Every [G]year goes by a little faster
One [C]day [G]you're 23
You'd think that turning 25 is
[C]the year you'd make it [G]out
But you're still fighting wars
you [Em]know noth[G]ing [C]about
[G]Where is the truth,
are we ever gonna find [C]it?
[G]Is this game,
why does it have to feel so [C]crowded?[G]
You think you'll [D]figure out [Em]the world,
by [C]the time you're [G]23
Now you're a cer[D]tified [G]adult that's
[Em]working [C]40 hour weeks[G]
So many bills,
why does it cost so much [C]to breathe?
[G]You thought it would be easier
deciding what [C]to eat[G]
You'll still fall out of love,
and [Em]someone's always [C]mean
[G]I promise you don't wanna [Am]be
like the [Em]models [C]in magazines
And [G]everything is meant to be,
you can't change what people [C]think
Every [G]year goes by a [Am]little
[Em]faster[C]
Don't ever [Em]lay your head down [D]angry,
never [G]slam the doors you [C]close
[G]If som[Em]eone breaks you[G]r heart there's
someone better down [C]the road
We're [Em]livin' for [D]the first time,
and [G]this is all we [C]know
We're [G]livin' for the first time,
it's okay to take it slow
'Cause you'll still fall out of love,
and someone's always [C]mean
[G]I promise you don't wanna be
like the people [C]on TV
And [G]everything is meant to be,
you can't change what people [C]think
Every [G]year goes by a little faster
One day you're 23
You'll still fall [Am]out of love,
and [Em]someone's always [C]mean
I [G]promise you don't [Am]wanna be
like the [Em]models [C]in magazines
And [G]everything is [Am]meant to be,
you can't [G]change what people [C]think
Every [G]year goes by a [Am]little [Em]faster[C]
Till wish [G]you were 23
[Am]I still don't [Em]know where
I'm [C]headed should I?
[G]I'm sti[Am]ll getting old[Em]er
as the [C]days go [G]by
[Am]I stay in my [G]head [C]on most days
[G]And I t[Am]ry to [G]forget my own[C] age
Wish I [G]was 23
Sincerely, Wilfred
