Maisie Peters - Coming Of Age

Capo: 3rd fret

[Verse 1]
C Am
Your face in fluorescent looks different in the daylight
C Am
Like was it a love affair or just a lot of late nights?
C Am
Like you had the speaking parts but I guess I was the playwright
C Am
Oh, oh-woah
C Am
I couldn’t escape you like the airwaves of the bassline
C Am
And I couldn’t erase you like a tattoo on my waistline
C Am
If it was a first kiss, how come it felt like a snakebite?
C Am
Oh, oh-woah

[Pre-Chorus]
G
I wish I woulda seen it sooner

[Chorus]
G C
Why did it take me (Oh, oh, oh)
G C
Ages to say it? (Oh, oh, oh)
G C
I wasn’t your cliché
Em D C
Oh, no, this is my coming of age

[Post-chorus]
G
Oh, oh, my coming of age
G
Oh, oh, my coming of age

[Verse 2]
C Am
I’m caught in new ground and I’m burning all your CDs
C Am
Baby, I am the Iliad, of course you couldn’t read me
C Am
So I’ll leave you behind, but that don’t mean it’s easy
C Am
Oh, oh-woah (Oh, oh, oh)

[Pre-Chorus]
G
I wish I woulda seen it sooner

[Chorus]
G C
Why did it take me (Oh, oh, oh)
G C
Ages to say it? (Oh, oh, oh)
G C
I wasn’t your cliché
Em D C
Oh, no, this is my coming of age

G C x2

[Bridge]
G
I send my silence away
G
Printing my blood on the page
G
You stole my love and I paid
G Em
But you couldn’t keep what you couldn’t take
D C
I know I made you the big star
Em C
I let you butcher my big heart
D C Em
But it’s my song and my stage
D C Em
And it’s my coming of age

[Chorus]
G C
Why did it take me (Oh, oh, oh)
G C
Ages to say it? (Oh, oh, oh)
G C
I wasn’t your cliché
Em D C
Oh, no, this is my coming of age

[Outro]
G C
I wish I could’ve seen it, God
G C
I wish I could’ve seen it, God
G C
I wish I could’ve seen it, God
D C
But God, I wish I could’ve seen it, God
