G Bm/F#
I was like you when I was your age
Em B/D#
A little self-conscious, a little staged
Em G/D C
Wanting the world to know how clever I thought I was
G Bm/F#
I don't mean to judge or to patronise
Em B/D#
God, don't look at me, 'cause I'll never be wise
Em G/D C Cmaj7
I've fucked the best moments up in my life for the sake of it
[Pre-chorus]
D/C D Em
Oh, you're a walking disaster
D/F#
Plain as day to see
D/C D
Oh, and it takes one to know one
B B/D# B/F#
I know how you feel
[Chorus]
Em C G B7
Oh, we'll be alright, alright
Em C G B7
'Cause I've heard that there's life after 25, ahh
Em C
I know your result and you're being emphatic
G B7
I know what you're like and you're very dramatic
Em C G B7 B/D# B/F#
But I've heard that there's life after 25
[Verse]
G Bm/F#
Heaven above and heaven forbid
Em B/D#
You don't read the right books and you don't want to live
Em G/D C
The way that they think you should in the Sunday supplement (on Sundays we say)
G Bm/F#
Everyone's happy and everyone's fine
Em B/D#
'Cause everyone's ironic all of the time
Em G/D C Cmaj7
And don't you just wish for something real?
[Pre-chorus]
D/C D Em
Oh, you're a walking disaster
Em D/F#
Come over here, sit down with me
D/C D
Yeah, 'cause I know what it's like
B B/D# B/F#
I know the way you feel
[Chorus]
Em C G B7
Oh, we'll be alright, alright
Em C G B7
'Cause I've heard that there's life after 25, ahh
Em C
I know your result and you're being emphatic
G B7
I know what it's like and you're very dramatic
Em C G B7 B/D# B/F#
But I've heard that there's life after 25, oh
[Instrumental]
Em C G B7
Em C G B7
Em C G B7
Em C G B7 B/D# B/F#
B B/D# B/F#
B B/D# B/F#
[Verse]
G Bm/F#
Can't we be honest and can't we just say things like
Em B/D#
"Indie, it's all a bit shit anyway"
Em G/D C Cmaj7
And who really cares 'bout being cool?
[Pre-chorus]
D/C D Em
Oh, you're a walking disaster
Em D/F#
Come over here, sit down with me
D/C D
Yeah, 'cause I know what it's like
Em D/F#
I know the way it feels
D/C D Em D/F# D/C D B7 B/D# B/F#
Oh, you're a walking disaster
[Chorus]
Em C G B7
Oh, we'll be alright, alright
Em C G B7
'Cause I've heard that there's life after 25, ahh
Em C
I know your result and you're being emphatic
G B7
I know what it's like and you're very dramatic
Em C G B7
But I've heard that there's life after 25, I
Em C G B7
I've heard that there's life after 25, I
Em C G
I've heard that there's life after 25 ("I like that, it's nice innit?")
