Tuning: E A D G B E

^CMany years ago when a girl said no That was good enough for ^G7me

But now I’m older and bolder

And wiser than I used to ^Cbe

Never stole a kiss from a pretty miss

Now I’m stealing constant^G7ly

Because now I’m older and bolder

And wiser than I used to ^Cbe

Oh the ^Fgirls all say I’m a ^Cbig bad wolf Cause ^FI’m always howling ^Caround

And ^FI huff and puff and ^CI do my stuff Till ^D7I blow their resistance ^G7down

So ^Cwhen we go out on a date tonight Well you’d better watch out for ^G7me

Because now I’m older and bolder

And wiser than I used to ^Cbe

I always treated gals like they were my pals

Now I’m acting different^G7ly

Because now I’m older and bolder

And wiser than I used to ^Cbe

Couples in the park cuddling in the dark

That was silly stuff to ^G7me

But now I’m older and bolder

And wiser than I used to ^Cbe

So ^FI got some pride and ^CI nearly died When ^FI went on my first ^Cdate

But ^Fthe worm has turned ^Cthere’s a lot I’ve learned ^D7I’m a love school gradu^G7ate

So ^Cwhen we go out on a date tonight Well you’d better watch out for ^G7me

Because now I’m older and bolder

And wiser than I used to ^Cbe

^G7I’m a little bit older and a little bit bolder And wiser than I used to ^Cbe
