She's just a little bit older, 
A             F#m   G 
But I want to get to know her,

But she said it's already over.

D                       A 
She told me to meet her there, 
                       Em 
I can't afford the bus fare, 
I'm not old enough for her, 
G                  Gm 
I'm just waiting 'til I'm eighteen.
