G        A                  Am    D          C
Please stop reading all of those young adult novels
G                   A             Am       D        C        G
Like "Looking for Alaska" or "The Perks of Being a Wallflower"
                A        Am           D     C
There’s more to life than romance and butterflies
G                A                     Am                D   C
But you'll never learn if you keep on taking advice from 15-year-old guys

G  A  Am  D  C

[Verse]
G            A           Am              D           C
Don’t make it seem poetic that you met a boy back in high school
G          A             Am                     D       C
And he was so sweet and cool that you wish you were not 22
G             A          Am             D            C         G
You’re living in the past, that boy is working at a grocery store
               A         Am    D   C
While you work on your PhD in Sociology

G  A  Am  D

[Chorus]
          C                        G
And everything you’d thought you’d learned
D         C         G
Was a misreading of terms
D             C           G         F
And now we’re anchored to illogical thoughts
D            C        G
We’ll always be 13 at heart
D            C        G
We’ll always be 13 at heart
D            C        F
We’ll always be 13 at heart
                  D            C      G
At least until we start reading Hemingway
