[Verse]
G C
We used to stay up late, and then sleep in
F C G
Counting down the hours like we were watching the wind
Am F C F C G
But we wished that we were older, so we could feel like men
F C
Oh, I don't know where time goes when it
G Am F
Changes my skin or my life
F C
Ooo ooo ooo
[Chorus]
C
Twenty one
F G Am F
Put more than twenty circles around the sun
F G Am
Another day this giant world has spun
F G C
And I don't wanna get older
[Verse 2]
G C
We used to try and say that we knew it all
F C G
Exaggerate the climbs and lie about the falls
Am F C
Not the way to live at all
F C G
But it feels good to be invincible
F C G Am
Oh, and time seems so slow when you wish it would go fast
F
It never lasts
F C
Ooo Ooo Ooo
[Chorus]
C
Twenty one
F G Am F
Put more than twenty circles around the sun
F G Am C
I swear my spirit, it was born to run
F G C
but I don't wanna get older
[Bridge]
F D F
Oh, what I'd give to be this age, to feel this way for life
C G
And not have fears or come up short of promises
F Am F
The way I feel, I feel so young. My heart is so alive
C G
And my youth and health are both my accomplices
F C G Am F
But then again, I wish for the mind of a man that's about to die
C
Ooo Ooo Ooo
[Chorus]
C
Twenty one
F G Am F
Put more than twenty circles around the sun
F G Am C
Won't stop learning 'til my days are done
F Am
But I don't wanna get older
F G Am
I don't wanna get older
F G C
I don't wanna get older.
