Tom: C#m
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
