C
Weight of the world on these small shoulders
  C
Beyond my years is where I like to stand
  Bb                         F
My crazy chapter was already over
  C
Before it began


[Verse 2]
  C
I listen to vinyl for the scratches
  C
I find myself in other people's shoes
  Bb                              F
I fix my mama's problems like a habit
  C
And Daddy's too


[Chorus]
  C
Oh to be a wild child for a day
           Bb
All the promises I've ever kept
      F
I'd line 'em up to break
             C
Oh to be a dancer on the edge
      Bb
I'd rip the filter from my mouth
     F
And all my cigarettes
Am     G       F
But I know I won't
Am      G       F       Bb
I guess I was born an old soul
 F        Ab Bb C
Old soul, ooh


[Verse 3]
  C
I'll be the first to toast and throw confetti
  C
And break the champagne bottle with a sword
     Bb                              F
And when the party's over, I'll be ready
  C
To sweep the floor


[Verse 4]
  C
I don't fall in love every other minute
  C
I don't mind it taking its sweet time
     Bb                         F
I just know I'll know it when I see a
           C
Soul like mine


[Chorus]
  C
Oh to be a wild child for a day
           Bb
All the promises I've ever kept
      F
I'd line 'em up to break
           C
Oh to be a dancer on the edge
      Bb
I'd rip the filter from my mouth
     F
And all my cigarettes
 Am     G      F
But I know I won't
 Am     G       F       Bb
I guess I was born an old soul
 F        Ab Bb C
Old soul, ooh

Old soul


[Bridge]
      Bb    F
It's fine to dream
   Ab       Bb
But I don't need


[Chorus]
    C
Oh to be a wild child for a day
       Bb
The promises I've ever kept
      F
I'd line 'em up to break
       C
Oh to be a dancer on the edge
      Bb
I'd rip the filter from my mouth
      F
And all my cigarettes
 Am    G      F
But I know I won't
 Am        G           F      Bb
But thank God I was born an old soul
 F
Old soul


[Outro]
 Ab
Old soul
  Bb        C
Old soul, ooh
 Bb
Hey, old soul
 F
Old soul
 C
Hey
  Bb       F
Hey, hey, yeah
 C      Bb         F      C
Ah, old soul, old soul, hey
 Bb  F
Mmm
 C
Ooh
  Bb  F  C  Bb  F  C
Hey
