  G5               D5 
I had a birthday, my oh my 
  G5              C5 
I turned into an older guy 
                 G5        D5          G5    D5 
And older guy is what the girls will say 
            G5                 D5 
(When they) try to tell their mom and dad 
     G5              C5 
That maybe it won't be so bad 
                    G5       D5     G5 
At least he's got a job and isn't gray 
D5 
Yet! 
     E5  
It's right around the corner 
         A5 
Yeah the time is sneaking up 
   E5                            D5 
It keeps on getting faster every year 
    G5             D5 
But I'll be happy as can be 
     G5                C5 
With pretty girls too young for me 
                        G5     D5      G5    D5 
They talk and talk, but I can barely hear 
  G5              D5 
I have a girl of 25 
    G5           C5 
She hasn't even been alive 
                     G5       D5       G5    D5 
As long as I've been playing this guitar 
    G5                  D5 
She treats me like her little boy 
  G5            C5 
I must admit I do enjoy 
                    G5       D5      G5 
Pretending that I'm younger than I are 
D5 
And 
    E5                           A5 
She wants to start a family, but in a year or so 
  E5                                   D5 
I may not have the strength to raise a kid 
      G5                D5 
Cause if a child rides piggyback 
  G5                    C5 
I think that you would hear a crack 
                    G5        D5      G5 
And see me break in two just like a twig 
 
Solo 
 

  G5              D5 
I had a birthday yesterday 
   G5                C5 
It came and went and now today 
                      G5     D5      G5    D5 
It's time to get back to my normal life 
      G5            D5 
Where I forget how old am I 
    G5                C5 
And walk down to the junior high 
              G5          D5     G5 
To see if any girls will be my wife 
D5 
No! 
  E5 
I don't think it will happen 
        A5 
And you probably think I'm wrong 
    E5                               D5 
For chasing younger girls in leather boots 
    G5             D5 
But I am harmless as can be 
     G5              C5 
I'll show you if you want to see 
                     G5     D5       G5      D5  G5 
My gun will aim , but it no longer shoots
