Biography:

Laura is changing, she's almost a teen
D G D7
She's starting to act mature
G Bb A B7
She doesn't go in for the games that she'd played
E7 A7
But then again she's mature
D G D G
Johnny, her neighbour, is still just a kid
D G D7
And he can't yet quite understand
G Bb A B7
Why Laura won't play with him like before
A7 D
She won't even hold his hand
G D G B E B E
[Verse 2]
B E B E
On Sundays they'd swing on the swings and then
B E B7
They'd climb on the jungle gym
E A7 F#6 D7
Laura would crush him and how they'd laugh
B7 E7
Things were much better then
B E B E
Hopscotch and skiprope and captain may I
B E B7
Were some of their favourite games
E A7 F#6 D7
But without Laura playing it's just no fun
E7 D
Nothing is quite the same
G D G
[Verse 3]
D G D G
The Friday night dances are coming soon
D G D7
And Laura will surely be there
G Bb A B7
But Johnny is worried, he can't understand
E7 A7
Why Laura is cutting her hair
D G D G
The way that she talks is quite different now
D G D7
The words sound so funny and weird
G Bb A B7
But Johnny, don't worry, it's time you were told
A7 A#
That Laura's just getting old
