Capo: 2nd fret
[Verse 1]
G
This will get bigger if you know what I mean
G
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
C
I heard it's en vogue to be super thin
C
But your friends aren't thick so they can't come in
G
I'm feelin' apathetic after scrollin' through hell
G
I think I've got a boner
C
But I can't really tell and the fans are on
[Pre-Chorus]
D
It's cynical
This Adderall
D
And vitriol
G C D
And young people drinkin' Aperol
[Chorus]
G
And it's about time
C
This is what it looks like
[Verse 2]
G
I'm sorry about my twenties, I was learnin' the ropes
G
I had a tendency of thinkin' about it after I spoke
C
We're experiencin' life through the postmodern lens
D
Oh, call it like it is
G
You're makin' an aesthetic out of not doin' well
G
And minin' all the bits of you
C D
You think you can sell whilst the fans are on
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D
Whimsical
D
Political
D
Liberal
G C
With young people as collateral
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G
You see, I can't sleep 'cause the American Dream has been buying up all of my self-esteem
C
Whilst Qanon created a legitimate scene but it was just some bloke in the Philippines
[Chorus]
G
And it's about 'Time
G
And it's about 'Time'
C
This is what it looks like
G
And it's about time
G
And it's about time
C
This is what it looks like
C D
This is what it looks like
[Post-Chorus]
G
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
G
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
C
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
C D
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
G
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
G
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
C
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
C D
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen

This will get bigger, if you know what I mean

I had a tendency of thinking 'bout it after I spoke
We're experiencin' life through the postmodern lens
Oh, call it like it is
You're makin' an aesthetic out of not doing well
And minin' all the bits of you you think you can sell
Whilst the fans are on
[Pre-Chorus]
Whimsical, political
Liberal, with young people as collateral
You see, I can't sleep 'cause the American Dream
Has been buyin' up all of my self-esteem
While QAnon created a legitimate scene
But it was just some bloke in the Philippines
[Chorus]
And it's about time
(And it's about time)
(This is what it looks like)
(And it's about time)
(And it's about time)
(This is what it looks like)
(This is what it looks like)
[Bridge]
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
I'm sorry if you're livin' and you're seventeen
