Gretta Ray - Don't Date The Teenager

                [Verse 1]
F
I saw your photo on my phone when I was eighteen
 C 
Fresh out the shower and fresh onto the music scene
 F   
Smart and successful, highly impressionable was I then
     
And I was fine then
 F  
You seemed so gentlemanly, tender, sensitive, romantic
 C     
Your fast infatuation with me made my parents panic
 F                                              
Caught up in your head, 'til I lay in your bed, a daydream

[Pre-Chorus]
                            Cm                 G#m 
Is when I'm taking my first shot with you in a dim-lit room
        F     
We were en route to your friend's 30th birthday
 Cm                     G#m
"I love you"s whispered far too soon
        F                 C     
How I look at you is the best thing in the worst way

[Chorus]
 F 
But now I'm twenty and I'm not as fun
 C         
Hold it against me when I have opinions
 F           
If you're needing saving then this won't get far
                         
Don't date the teenager, na na na na na
 F 
You won't Go out with my young friends to clubs
C  
We Go to weddings, everyone is on drugs
F    
If you need a baby who can drive your car
                     
Don't date the teenager, na na na na

[Interlude]
F
..

[Verse 2]
F            
We Go to dinner to discuss your quarter-life-crisis
 C 
Somehow I end up in tears, boy you're full of surprises
 F 
You pay the cheque and then the two of us head home in silence
          
Now I feel bad for crying

[Pre-Chorus 2]
                         Cm
But this isn't my first fight with you
     G#m
In a dim-lit room
        F                                  
We were en route to 3 kids and a divorce, right?
 Cm                     G#m
"I love you"s whispered far too soon
       F                  C           
How I look at you these days is in a new light

[Chorus]
 F 
But now I'm twenty and I'm not as fun
 C         
Hold it against me when I have opinions
 F           
If you're needing saving then this won't get far
                         
Don't date the teenager, na na na na na
 F 
You won't Go out with my young friends to clubs
C  
We Go to weddings, everyone is on drugs
F    
If you need a baby who can drive your car
                                 
Don't date the teenager, na na na na
 F                         
Don't date the teenager, na na na na
 C                    
Don't date the teenager, na na na na na
 F                                    
Don't date the teenager, na na na na na

[Bridge]
        Cm                   G#m 
I try recreating the earlier days when
                F 
Singing your praises felt like telling the truth
               Cm
Now I'm just ashamed
                       G#m
Friends only drop your name when
             F 
So casually saying
           C     
"What the **** are you gonna do?"

[Chorus]
  F  
'Cause now I'm twenty and this isn't fun
 C 
Hold it against me when I have opinions
F  
If you're needing saving then this won't get far

Don't date the teenager, na na na na na
 F    
Don't date the teenager, na na na na
 C  
Don't date the teenager, na na na na na
F              
If you need a baby who can drive your car
                             
Don't date the teenager, na na na na
