Coming Of Age

Capo: 3rd fret [Verse 1] C Am Your face in fluorescent looks different in the daylight C Am Like was it a love affair or just a lot of late nights? C Am Like you had the speaking parts but I guess I was the playwright C Am Oh, oh-woah C Am I couldn't escape you like the airwaves of the bassline C Am And I couldn't erase you like a tattoo on my waistline C Am If it was a first kiss, how come it felt like a snakebite? C Am Oh, oh-woah [Pre-Chorus] G I wish I woulda seen it sooner Chorus G C Why did it take me (Oh, oh, oh) G C Ages to say it? (Oh, oh, oh) G C I wasn't your cliché Em D C Oh, no, this is my coming of age [Post-Chorus] G Oh, oh, my coming of age G Oh, oh, my coming of age [Verse 2] C Am I'm caught in new ground and I'm burning all your CDs C Am Baby, I am the Iliad, of course you couldn't read me C Am So I'll leave you behind, but that don't mean it's easy C Am Oh, oh-woah (Oh, oh, oh) [Pre-Chorus] G I wish I woulda seen it sooner Chorus G C Why did it take me (Oh, oh, oh) G C Ages to say it?
