[Verse 1]
F
Everybody always said
Am Em
The kids grow up too fast
F
You'll understand when you get older
Am Em
But it's still not making sense
F
I've been living in the basement
Am Em
Waiting for my chance
F
To grow out of it
Am Em
But I can't
[Chorus]
Em F
We'll be teenagers forever
Am
But not forever young
C
Always on the cusp of growing up
But it's never quite enough
F
I got acne and I'm awkward
Am Em
But now my knees hurt when I skateboard
F
But I can finally grow a mustache
Am Em
Worth a damn
[Verse 2]
F
I still love dungeons and dragons
Am Em
In the basement with my friends
F
But everybody's got commitments
Am Em
Now it's getting hard to plan
F
And everyday I'm playing dress up
Am Em
Go to work and play pretend
F
That I grew out of it
Am Em
But I can't
[Chorus]
Em F
We'll be teenagers forever
Am
But not forever young
C
Always on the cusp of growing up
But it's never quite enough
F
When do I start liking golf?
Am Em
When does college start paying off?
F Am
When am I done dreaming
Em
Of what I'll be when I grow up
[Bridge]
F
I'll never afford a backyard or a kid
Am Em
The kind of life I grew up with
F
In the cold suburbs of Minnesota
Am Em
Making loose ends meet
F
All the money's locked up tight
Am Em
Behind another trust fund kid
F
Out of sight and out of mind
Am Em
Out of opportunities
[Outro]
F
I wouldn't call it purgatory
N C
But it might as well be
