Awkward Age by Joe Jackson
Awkward Age
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:2nd fret
[Verse 1]
D G D A
I should have know that you were only just fifteen
D G D A
You had a scowl like a Klingon beauty queen
F# Bm Em A
Old enough to stand out but too young to stand with pride
D G D A
So uncomfortable in your messed-up skin
D G D A
And the cool parties never let you in
F# Bm Em A
I can still relate to being left so high and dry
G
Don't cry...
A D
You're just at an awkward age
[Chorus]
C G
We'll all be fine
Em A D
Disgraceful under pressure
C G
Don't toe the line
A G
You're just at an awkward age
A G
Don't cry- just an awkward age
A
Don't cry - You're just at an awkward...
[Verse 2]
D G D A
You look at me like I know what's going on
D G D A
I'm looking back and I wonder what went wrong
F# Bm Em A
I really thought by now a few things might clarify
D G D A
I got a mind that goes out to lunch for days
D G D A
And a body that sometimes disobeys
F# Bm Em A
I get into the parties but I hate them 'cause I'm shy
G
Oh my...
A D
I'm still at an awkward age
[Chorus]
C G
We'll all be fine
Em A D
Disgraceful under pressure
C G
Don't toe the line
A G
You're just at an awkward age
A G
Don't cry- just an awkward age
A G
Don't cry - You're just at an awkward age
Just at an awkward...
[Bridge]
Bb F
We're supposed to be happy
G D
Supposed to be tough
Bb F
Supposed to be flawless
G D
And buy the right stuff
Bb F
They want us all swimming
G D
Don't care if we drown
Bb F G
So don't let 'em take you down
[Verse 3]
D G D A
D G D A
F# Bm Em A
It's a scary mountain to climb up without a guide
G
Besides...
A D
We live in an awkward age
C G
We'll all be fine
Em A D
Disgraceful under pressure
C G
Don't toe the line
A G
You're just at an awkward age
A G
Don't cry- just an awkward age
A
Don't cry - You're just at an awkward age
A G G D
Just at an awkward...age...
