Keep your pictures in the scrapbook
     Em          D
Put your posters on the wall
     Em          D
Save your pennies in your pocket
     Em          D
Cause the pressure's on us all
C  D               Em D Em D
Oh, oh, it's just begun

     Em           D
Keep your friends by your shoulder
     Em           D
Save your lovers in your heart
     Em        D
Put your enemies behind your back
    Em           D
That's where they always are
C  D               Em D Em D
Oh, oh, it's just begun

Now I'm 18 seeing something I've never seen
       C D           Em
When I was 16, thought I knew it all
    C  D             Em
Now I'm 18 walking through the fire and it fuels me
    C  D             Em
I've 18 candles left to burn

Draw an outline in the sketch book
 Em         D
Erase all your regrets

You go behind the bike shed
  Em      D
To smoke a cigarette

Oh, oh, it's just begun
 Em         D
Emotions like a pick 'n' mix

You're crying to the mirror now

It's all just in your head
