[Intro]
C Fsus2 C
[Verse 1]
C Fsus2 C G/B
Look at us, we made it out alive
Am Fsus2 C
Those were the years that I learnt to survive
Fsus2 C G/B
Maybe youth ain't the time of our lives
Am Fsus2 C Fsus2
They just romanticise it
Fsus2 C G/B
Met you at a party on Halloween
Am Fsus2 C Fsus2
You were studying at university
C Fsus2 C
And all your friends would laugh and joke about me
G/B Am Fsus2 C
But I didn't mind being a punchline at sixteen
[Chorus]
F
I liked that you were older
G Am C
But at the time I didn't understand
F
It's 'cause you held the power
G Am C
And I thought love was meant to feel like that
F
All the things I gave you
G Am C
Now I wish I could take them all right back
F
'Cause I wasn't a woman yet
G Am C
But you were a man
F G C
I was just a girl in love with a man
[Verse 2]
C Fsus2 C G/B
And it felt like a twisted game you'd play
Am Fsus2 C
Of who could take my innocence away
Fsus2 C
But it wasn't yours
Fsus2 C G/B
No, never yours to claim
Am Fsus2 C
I thought that to love was to give yourself away
[Chorus]
F
It sent me into orbit
G Am C
Knowing that you wanted me like that
F
Didn't see a problem
G Am C
It's only now I'm older, looking back
F
Made me feel so special
G Am C
Now the only thing I feel is mad
F
'Cause I wasn't a woman yet
G Am C
But you were a man
F G
I wasn't a woman yet, but now I am
[Bridge]
Dm
You'd pick me up in your car
F
We'd go speeding down the lanes
Dm
I'd meet you in town
F
With my fake ID, claiming I was 23
Dm
To get into bars
Dm
I'd never felt so cool and
F Dm
Now I know you probably knew that I
F
Would do anything to impress you
Dm F
And now I wonder, is that how they get you?
[Chorus]
F
They say that your youth is
G Am C
Meant to be the time of your life
F
But I feel fucking stupid
G Am C
That I was crying over older guys
F
Bet they don't think about it
G Am C
Wish I knew what I know now back then
F
'Cause I wasn't a woman yet
G Am C
But you were a man
F G C
I was just a girl in love with a man
Look at us, we made it out alive
Those were the years that I learnt to survive
Maybe youth ain't the time of our lives
They just romanticise it
Met you at a party on Halloween
You were studying at university
And all your friends would laugh and joke about me
But I didn't mind being a punchline at sixteen
I liked that you were older
But at the time I didn't understand

And I thought love was meant to feel like that
All the things I gave you
Now I wish I could take them all right back
'Cause I wasn't a woman yet
But you were a man
I was just a girl in love with a man
And it felt like a twisted game you'd play
Of who could take my innocence away
