              CShe's (x32010@1)got the mind of a child
      F (133211@1)                   CAnd (x32010@1)a body peaking over the hill
         CWell (x32010@1)she would if she could
        D (xx0232@1)               GAnd (320003@1)she should but nobody will
         FWith (133211@1)her nails painted red
                            C (x32010@1)    C/B (x2555x@1)AmAnd (x02210@1)her hair so unnaturally curled
       FWell (133211@1)I think that she may be
    G (320003@1)                CThe (x32010@1)oldest baby in the world


      CShe's (x32010@1)tasted the night life
         F (133211@1)                       CBut (x32010@1)it's left her with nothing but hunger
   
And all the available men
        D (xx0232@1)                            GSeem (320003@1)to think that they want something younger
    F (133211@1)But youth is a costume
                           C (x32010@1)      C/B (x2555x@1)AmAnd (x02210@1)the beauty within lies unfurled
      FAnd (133211@1)I think that she may be
    G (320003@1)                CThe (x32010@1)oldest baby in the world


FFast (133211@1)horses win races

And royal flushes beat aces
                          CAnd (x32010@1)everyone's playing to keep
         DSo (xx0232@1)let's turn out the lights
                          GAnd (320003@1)rock that old baby to sleep


              CShe (x32010@1)loves the sound of the rain
        F (133211@1)                           CBut (x32010@1)you know shes still afraid of the thunder

She keeps a head full of hope
      D (xx0232@1)                     GAnd (320003@1)a heart that's so full of wonder
        F (133211@1)She may look like a woman
                                    C (x32010@1)   C/B (x2555x@1)AmBut (x02210@1)she's still some daddy's little girl
      FAnd (133211@1)I think that she may be
    G (320003@1)                CThe (x32010@1)oldest baby in the world
      FYes (133211@1)I think that she may be
    G (320003@1)                CThe (x32010@1)oldest baby in the world
