Happy Birthday you're 18
The only thing that means
G
Is you're old enough to strip
A
Still too young to have a grip
D
On the high cost of each dollar
The impact of our father
G
Every shitty guy you'll date
AD
Every piss poor decision you'll make
D
She's taken all her notes in pencil
Intend to contradict themselves, and
G
half of what they say
A
She's learning that rules can bend this way
Em
They say you can measure a man, by the way he stands
GA
Cause you kick those heels up baby and still walk tall
GEm
She's staying up, she's working hard
For her money tonight(hard for her money tonight)
GA
She's learning all that life can give and take away
GEm
She's staying up, she's working hard
For her money tonight(hard for her money tonight)
GA
She's learning all that life can give and take away
D
Pretty miss Mary,
Mary quite contrary won't stay this pretty forever,
G
Because miss Mary, Mary things will get hairy,
A
Drug habits make it hard to keep a body together.
Em
They say you can measure a man, by the way he stands
