(2nd verse is palm-muted 5ths, using the chords in the chorus: Cb5-Gb5-Db5-Eb5)

Verses-
1:  I took her out
    It was a friday night
    I wore cologne to get the feeling right
    But then i turned on the TV
    And that's about the time...

2:  Later on, on the drive home
    I called her mom from a payphone
    I said i was the cops 
    and your husband's in jail
    the state looks down on him
    and that's about the time...

Chorus-
    Gb5  Db5   Eb5    Cb5      "whats my age again..."

(1) ...she walked away from me
    nobody likes you when you're 23
    and are still more amused by TV shows
    what is A.D.D.? 
    my friends say i should act my age
    what's my age again? what's my age again?

(2) ...she hung up on me
    nobody likes you when you're 23
    and are still more amused by prank phone calls
    what is caller ID?
    my friends say i should act my age
    what's my age again? what's my age again?

(go to bridge)

(3) ...she walked away from me
    nobody likes you when you're 23
    and you still act like you're in freshman year
    my friends say i should act my age...
    and that's about the time that she broke up with me
    no one should take themselves so seriously
    with many years ahead to fall in love
    why would you wish that on me
    I never want to act my age
    what's my age again? what's my age again?
