Verse 1]
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

Old soul
C
Hey
Bb F
Hey, hey, yeah
C Bb F C
Ah, old soul, old soul, hey

Mmm

Ooh
Bb F C Bb F C
Hey
