Teenage Dream Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Am][F]
[C][Am][F]

[Verse 1]
When am [C]I gonna stop being w[Am]ise
beyond my years and [F]just start being wise?
When am [C]I gonna stop
being a [Am]pretty young thing to [F]guys?
When am [C]I gonna stop being g[Am]reat
for my age and [F]just start being good?
When will [C]it stop being cool
to be [Am]quietly misun[F]derstood?

[Chorus 1]
I'll [Em]blow out the [E]candles,
happy [F]birthday to [C]me
Got your [Em]whole life a[E]head of you,
you're [F]only nine[C]teen
But I [Dm]fear that they already got
all the best [Fm]parts of me
And I'm [Dm]sorry that I couldn't always
be your teen[Fm]age dream

[Verse 2]
And when does [C]wide-eyed affection
and [Am]all good intentions [F]start to not be enough?
When will [C]everyone have every [Am]reason
to call all [F]my bluffs?
And when are [C]all my excuses
of [Am]learning my lessons
gon[F]na start to feel sad?
Will I [C]spend all the rest of my [Am]years
wishing I could [F]go back?

[Chorus 2]
I'll [Em]blow out the [E]candles,
happy [F]birthday to [C]me
Got your [Em]whole life a[E]head of you,
you're [F]only nine[C]teen
But I [Dm]fear that they already got
all the best [Fm]parts of me
And I'm [Dm]sorry that I couldn't always
be your teen[Fm]age dream

[Bridge 1]
[C]They all say that [Em]it gets better
[F]It gets better the [Fm]more you grow
Yeah, [C]they all say that [Em]it gets better
[F]It gets better, but [Fm]what if I don't?
Oh, [C]they all say that [Em]it gets better
[F]It gets better the [Fm]more you grow
Yeah, [C]they all say that [Em]it gets better
[F]It gets better, but [Fm]what if I don't?

[Bridge 2]
Oh, [C]they all say that [Em]it gets better
[F]It gets better the [Fm]more you grow
Yeah, [C]they all say that [Em]it gets better
[F]It gets better, but [Fm]what if I don't?
Oh, [C]they all say that [Em]it gets better
[F]It gets better the [Fm]more you grow
Yeah, [C]they all say that [Em]it gets better
[F]It gets better, but [Fm]what if I don't?
