[Intro]
E A x2
[Verse]
E
I walked two miles in the rain in a suit,
E
my feet torn up by my father’s shoes.
A
Receipts and cards tumble out of my pocket
A
to the floor of the station. I still don’t have a wallet.
E
Up a flight of stairs to Herald Square.
E
The umbrellas of New York take up too much air.
A E
So we just walk real slow at double-arms length in unison.
[Instrumental]
C#m C A x2
[Verse]
E
My mom dragged me to the doctor today,
E
I had a cough for a month and it won’t go away
A
I’ve been sleeping on floors for three hours a day
A
and I have no insurance, so she has to pay.
E
I can’t talk to my friends because I’m embarrassed
E
that I keep sliding back down. I keep getting depressed.
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m C G# A
- We got our ideals but no way to achieve 'em.
C#m C G# A
- We got our degree but got no means to use it.
C#m C G# A E
- We’re swimming in debt with no way to surmount it.
C#m C G# A
- We got thirty bucks and we spend it on whiskey.
C#m C G# A
- We got credit cards, so we got a new TV.
C#m C G# A
- We got mobile phones but no minutes so text me.
[Chorus]
C#m C E
Get out of my way because I’m 25
A
and I still act like I’m ten!
E A
I’m 25! I don’t learn from my mistakes
A
I make them again and again and again and again and again...
[Instrumental]
E F#m C#m B A x3

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m C G# A
- We swallow our pride over piles of problems.
C#m C G# A
- We whine and complain but we don’t try to solve ‘em.
C#m C G# A
- We’re reaching for answers like nobody’s got ‘em.
C#m C
Get out of my way because
[Chorus]
E
I’m 25
A
and I still act like I’m ten goddamn years old!
E
I’m 25
A
and I still act like I’m ten goddamn years old!
