Emaj7             Bsus2                 Bmaj7
It's my Jordan year and I thought this shit would
          Emaj7
look good on me
Emaj7                Bsus2 Bmaj7
But I just feel weird,
Emaj7               Bsus2              Bmaj7
And I still can't fly, thought I'd be ahead,
                Emaj7
but I'm down by five
Emaj7               Bsus2                 Bmaj7
I'm on fight or flight, and I still can't fly

Emaj7                        Bsus2
Everything looks good on paper,
                Bmaj7
displayed on the shelf
Emaj7                                Bsus2
And nobody thinks they should save her
                   Bmaj7
'cause she's doin' well
Emaj7
Three hundred sixty-five days later,
    B            F#            G#m
I still haven't learned to calm down
      F#           Emaj7
But I blow candles out,
my wish should be different by now

Chorus:
                    Emaj7  Bmaj7
But tomorrow I turn twenty-three and
                  Emaj7      Bmaj7
it feels like everyone hates me
                   Emaj7   Bmaj7
So, how old do you have to be to
                 G#m
live so young and careless?
                  Emaj7
My wish is that I cared less at twenty-three

The bags on my eyes
No, they're not designer, but they're overpriced
I paid for with cryin' (Cry, cry, cry)
And every ex hits my phone
Like, "Happy birthday, are you alone?"
You tried to ruin twenty-two
So don't pretend that now we're cool

Everything looks good on paper
Displayed on the shelf
And nobody thinks they should save her
'Cause she's doin' well
Three hundred sixty-five days later,
I still haven't learned to calm down
But I blow candles out
My wish should be different by now

Chorus

It's my Jordan year (You tried to ruin twenty-two)
No they're not designer, but they're—
(So don't pretend that now we're cool)
Tomorrow I turn twenty-three
To be so young and careless?
My wish is that I cared less
Happy birthday, happy birthday

I hope that I'll see twenty-four
I hope I'll understand me more
I hope my bed is off the floor
I hope that I can care less, but
I'm afraid to care less
