[Verse 2]
I wouldn't take any more
[Em]
So who [C]speaks [Em]for [D]me when
[Am]I'm too young to f[Em]ight[D]?

[Verse 3]
Last kid off [Em]the bus,
[C]I'm standing [Em]in the [C]driveway[Em]
Still feeling [C]the sting from yester

The smell of whiskey and smoke
spilling out the doorway
Step inside or run [D]away,
[C]I'm not old enough [Em]to choose
