Older Uke tab by Alec Benjamin

[Verse 1]
D
I’m not prepared for the future
A
So many things that I just don’t know
Bm
I cut my hair, bought a new shirt, new pair of shoes
D
And it’s time to go, I finally found an apartment
A
Signed a lease on a car this month
Bm                                                            D
I can’t go back to the storm now, time doesn’t slow down
I’m on my own


[Chorus]
D
Guess my childhood is over
A
Now I’m taking down the posters
And I’m putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster
Bm
That’s my closest thing to closure
I can’t stop this roller coaster
D
I’m not ready to get older, I’m not ready to get older
D
Guess my childhood is over
A
Now I’m taking down my posters
And I’m telling all my friends we’ll get together next October
Bm
That’s my closest thing to closure
I can’t stop this roller coaster
D
I’m not ready to get older, I’m not ready to get older


[Post-Chorus]
D
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
A
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
Bm
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

[Verse 2]
D
Never thought I’d be twenty
A
And thirty don’t seem so far away
Bm
I know I gotta make a little money then maybe find somebody
D
To call my own
A
Mmm, I’m not ready but I can’t go back in time
Bm
I know it’s all out of my control now I know

[Chorus]
D
Guess my childhood is over
A
Now I’m taking down the posters
And I’m putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster
Bm
That’s my closest thing to closure
I can’t stop this roller coaster
D
I’m not ready to get older, I’m not ready to get older
D
Guess my childhood is over
A
Now I’m taking down my posters
And I’m telling all my friends we’ll get together next October
Bm
That’s my closest thing to closure
I can’t stop this roller coaster
D
I’m not ready to get older, I’m not ready to get older


[Post-Chorus]
D
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
A
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
Bm
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra

[Bridge]
D
Guess my childhood is over
A
One day I’ll be buying posters for my kids just like my parents
Different me is never over though
Bm D
Grew up and soon enough there was a time were just went slower

I’m not ready to get older, I’m not ready to get older

[Chorus]
D
Guess my childhood is over
A
Now I’m taking down the posters

And I’m putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster
Bm
That’s my closest thing to closure

I can’t stop this roller coaster
D
I’m not ready to get older, I’m not ready to get older
D
Guess my childhood is over
A
Now I’m taking down my posters
And I’m telling all my friends we’ll get together next October
Bm
That’s my closest thing to closure
I can’t stop this roller coaster
D
I’m not ready to get older, I’m not ready to get older

[Outro]
D
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
A
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
Bm
Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
