[F] [E] [Gm] [Dm]
[D] [G] [D]
Newspaper [F] clippings all over [B] your bedroom [Am] floor
And there's pictures [D] of you since you were a gal
Since you [F] were a gal [D] before
[Am] You're a child [D] star
They all date you
[Am] You're a child [D] star
At that [G] time that was right
But you're 34 today
[D] You gotta [A] stop
Acting like [D] a child
Been [Dm] [D]
such a long time [G] baby
Since you were knee high
[A] And you're much too over pampering
[G] And you're much too [D] young to die
Much too old for [G] lollipops
And not old enough for lies
[A] You're a grown woman
Stop [G] acting, acting [D] like a child

For [Am] your playing [D] games
Games with nature

Ooh, ooh, [Ab] ooh
