I had a birthday, my oh my 
  G              C 
I turned into an older guy 
                 G        D          G    D 
And older guy is what the girls will say 
            G                 D 
(When they) try to tell their mom and dad 
     G              C 
That maybe it won't be so bad 
                    G       D     G 
At least he's got a job and isn't gray 
D 
Yet! 
     Em  
It's right around the corner 
         A7 
Yeah the time is sneaking up 
   Em                            D 
It keeps on getting faster every year 
    G             D 
But I'll be happy as can be 
     G                C 
With pretty girls too young for me 
                        G     D      G    D 
They talk and talk, but I can barely hear 
  G              D 
I have a girl of 25 
    G           C 
She hasn't even been alive 
                     G       D       G    D 
As long as I've been playing this guitar 
    G                  D 
She treats me like her little boy 
  G            C 
I must admit I do enjoy 
                    G       D      G 
Pretending that I'm younger than I are 
D 
And 
    Em                           A7 
She wants to start a family, but in a year or so 
  Em                                   D 
I may not have the strength to raise a kid 
      G                D 
Cause if a child rides piggyback 
  G                    C 
I think that you would hear a crack 
                    G        D      G 
And see me break in two just like a twig 
 
Solo 
 
  G              D 
I had a birthday yesterday 
   G7                C 
It came and went and now today 
                      G     D      G    D 
It's time to get back to my normal life 
      G            D 
Where I forget how old am I 
    G                C 
And walk down to the junior high 
              G          D     G 
To see if any girls will be my wife 
D 
No! 
  Em 
I don't think it will happen 
        A7 
And you probably think I'm wrong 
    Em                               D 
For chasing younger girls in leather boots 
    G             D 
But I am harmless as can be 
     G7              C 
I'll show you if you want to see 
                     G     D       G      D  G 
My gun will aim, but it no longer shoots
