Intro: Am F G C  
 
Verse  
                        Am          
Everybody has to get older  
        F  
Even Jenny  
            C   
She's just 19  
             G   
Young and naive  
                                   Am   
She wants to find a way to be endless  
              F  
Fight the science  
          G   
In defiance  
             C   
And be timeless   
 
Pre-Chorus  
F  
Silly little girl who tried to live forever  
G     Am  
live forever   
Am  
Gave away her soul to buy a bit of pleasure   
        G     F  
Oh the bitter pleasure   
F  
Wicked little boy who tried to steal her treasure   
         G      Am  
For the bitter pleasure   
Am  
Now their cursed forever   
G       F  
Cursed together   
 
F  
And if you could see   
            G   Am  
The look in her eyes   
Am  
The wolf wore the sheep   
        G       F  
As the perfect disguise   
F  
And she can't believe   
                  G    Am  
That she fell for his lies   
Am  
He promised forever   
              G        F  
But she never knew the price  
F  
He promised forever   
              G        Am  
But she never knew the price   
Am  
He promised forever   
              G        F  
But she never knew the price  
 
F G C   
 
verse 2  
                             Am          
And as she got a little bit older   
        F  
Look at Jenny  
          C   
Now she's 90   
          G   
She looks 19   
                                Am   
And all she knows to do is survive and   
         F  
Stay alive and   
          C   
Now she's crying   
                 G   
Cause she's not dying    
 
Pre-Chorus  
F  
Silly little girl who tried to live forever  
G     Am

Am  
Gave away her soul to buy a bit of pleasure

Oh the bitter pleasure

Wicked little boy who tried to steal her treasure

For the bitter pleasure
