Chords to play along with the official lyric video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3fWCRvz5JA

An asterisk indicates a single strum. Where I have an Am* in the chorus, this sounds like a stacatto
final strum before moving to the F.

Where I have indicated the G** it sounds like she is sliding up 2 frets from an Fsus2 to the G.

The C/B chords are just a 3-2-0 walkdown from the C to the Am on the A string.
The Am/G is a walkdown from the Am to the F on the low E string.

In the bridge where I have 2 G chords together those are single downstrums before moving to the next chord.

[Verse 1]
              
They tell you 

             
while you’re y

oung
              
Girls, go out 

             
and have your 


 fun
              
Then they hunt

              
 and slay the 


ones
             
Who actually d

     
o it
              
Criticize the 

        
way you fly
              
When you’re so

              
aring through 

   
the  sky
              
Shoot you down

              
 and then they

 
 sigh
              
And say, “She 

             
looks like she

         
’s been throug

      
h it”


[Pre-Chorus]
            
Lord what will

          
 become of me
              
Once I’ve lost

      
 my novelty


[Chorus]
            
  I’ve had too

           
 much to drink

 tonight
           
And I know it’

            
s sad but this

              
 is what I thi

    
nk about
        
And I wake up 

**            
in the middle 

        
of the night
           
It’s like I ca

            
n feel time mo

    
ving
             
 How can a per

         
son know every

thing at 18
             
But nothing at

        
 twenty-two?
         
And will you s

till want me
            
When I’m nothi

       
ng new?


[Verse 2]
              
How long will 

      
it be cute
              
All this cryin

        
g in my room
              
When you can’t

              
 blame it on m

  
y youth
              
And roll your 

            
eyes with affe

  
ction
              
And my cheeks 

            
are growing ti

-i-ired
              
From turning r

              
ed and faking 


smiles
              
Are we only bi

            
ding time 'til

             
 I lose your a

    
ttention?


[Pre-Chorus]
            
And someone el

             
se lights up t

   
he room
              
People love an

 
 ingénue


[Chorus]
            
  I’ve had too

           
 much to drink

 tonight
           
How did I go f

            
rom growing up

              
 to breaking d


own?
        
And I wake up 

**            
in the middle 

           
of the night
           
It’s like I ca

            
n feel time mo

    
ving
             
 How can a per

         
son know every

thing at 18
             
But nothing at

        
 twenty-two?
         
And will you s

till want me
            
When I’m nothi

[Bridge]

  I know somed

  I’ve had (I'

But I wonder i

drive me out
            
  I wake up (w

 middle of the

     
 night
          
And I can feel

 time moving
             
 How can a per

         
son know every

thing at 18
             
But nothing at

        
 twenty-two?
             
And will you s

      
till want me
             
Will you still

         
 want me
         
Will you still

 want me

  When I’m not

hing new?
