E A E A

[Verse 1]
E                 A
I didn't know any different
       E                    A
When I walked away from the car that day
    E         Fdim7           F#m
You kissed my cheek, I sent a smile your way
          F#m7                     B7        B
You said, "Don't let anyone put that smile away"
     E                             Fdim7
As I skipped down the road feeling ever so old
      G#m                     Fdim7
Your throat went dry and your eyes went cold

[Chorus]
(B C#)     E
I'm not a child anymore
      Fdim7
And I really am sure
             F#m7
Please don't waste your tears
     E/B            B
As I lock the front door
         E
We don't listen to the radio
       G#
Just us two sat in the car alone
C#m
Talk about the newspaper
      A/B          B
Have a whine and a moan
          E
I'm not a child anymore
      Fdim7
And I really am sure
         F#m7
You can't stop the world
       E/B       B
With a medicinal cure
         E
We don't listen to the radio
        G#
Just us two sat in the car alone
C#m 
Talk about the newspaper
       Fdim7       
Have a whine and a moan
        A                B7                        E
Because you know that my ten o'clock curfew is no more

[Verse 2] 
E                                A7
Tell me that I act young, that I am so immature
    E                            A7
Well, there are a few things that I won't mention at all
E          Fdim7        A 
I know you think I don't know what I am doing
        F#m7 
Well, I guess that you're right
              B7
I've spent my whole life blagging
         E
Then you tell me I'm precocious
     A7
That I'm going way too fast
      E
Well, I did leave home
       A7
It was never gonna last
    E             Fdim7       F#m7 
But just because I don't watch musicals in bed
        F#m7                       B7           
Doesn't mean I don't have the songs stuck in my head

[Chorus]
(B C#)     E
I'm not a child anymore
      Fdim7
And I really am sure
             F#m7
Please don't waste your tears
     E/B            B
As I lock the front door
         E
We don't listen to the radio
       G#
Just us two sat in the car alone
C#m
Talk about the newspaper
      A/B          B
Have a whine and a moan
          E
I'm not a child anymore
      Fdim7
And I really am sure
         F#m7
You can't stop the world
       E/B       B
With a medicinal cure
         E
We don't listen to the radio
        G#
Just us two sat in the car alone
C#m 
Talk about the newspaper
       Fdim7       
Have a whine and a moan
        A                B7                        E
Because you know that my ten o'clock curfew is no more

[Outro]
E7          Bdim7
The sights, the flashing lights
F#m7                  B7
Parties and costumes, TFL nights
E7                        Bdim7
I know I can't control the powers that be
F#m7                
But father, please listen
    B7      B    E
Just let go of me
