C             Dm    A#
I'm scared to find out what eighteen's about
C            Dm    A#
I'm about to jump now
C           Dm  A#
I spend my money and now I'm lonely again
C            Dm    A#
But I can't slow down

Take me on a ride
So I don't, I don't feel invisible
Anywhere tonight
So I don't, I don't fade away
Need to feel alive
'Cause I'm lost and I wanna be invincible
Take me on a ride, ride, ride

Chorus:
               C     Dm A#
It hurts to be eighteen
                   C       Dm A#
We're stuck in the in between
             C           Dm A#
Restless and in the streets
                     C     Dm A#
Yeah, it hurts to be eighteen

I'm undiscovered
Heart's uncovered, scared
Of being let down
I know my mother
Taught me better
No calling back now

Take me on a ride
So I don't, I don't feel invisible
Anywhere tonight
So I don't, I don't fade away
Need to feel alive
'Cause I'm lost and I wanna be invincible
Take me on a ride, ride, ride

Chorus

       C       Dm                   A#
Who am I to decide who I'm supposed to be?
        C            Dm              A#
I need time, I need time to be young and free
       C       Dm              A#
Who am I to decide who I'm supposed to be?
       Gm            C
I need time, I need time

Chorus

It hurts
It hurts
We're stuck in the in between
It hurts to be eighteen
