Blink 182
What's My Age Again
Enema Of The State/Enema Strikes Back
Tabbed by: Simon Mooney (lasttraintostafford@yahoo.co.uk)
Hey peeps! This is my first tab and I think it sounds pretty darn close to how
they play it. If you have a Flanger at your disposal, a slight flanging on the
intro, Riff A and interlude sounds much more like the live version. Just play
and be merry!

Lyrics
I took her out, it was a friday night
I wore cologne to get the feeling right
We started making out, she took off my pants
But then I turned on the TV
But thats about the time she walked away from me
No body likes you when your 23
And are still more amused by TV shows
What the hell is A.D.D.
My friends say I should act my age
Whats my age again, whats my age again...
And later on, on the drive home
I called her mom from a payphone
And I said I was the cops and her husbands in jail
The state looks down on sodomy
And thats about the time that bitch hung up on me
Nobody likes you when your 23
And are still more amused by prank phone calls
What the hell is caller I.D.
My friends say I should act my age
Whats my age again, whats my age again...
And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when your 23
And you still act like your in freshman year
What the hell is wrong with me
My friends say I should act my age
Whats my age again, whats my age again...
That's about the time that she broke up with me
No one should take themselves so seriously
With many years ahead to fall in line
Why would you wish that on me
I never want to act my age
Whats my age again, whats my age again...
Whats my age again?
Any corrections, flames or just plain moans that Blink 182 songs are too easy/hard
should all be directed to lasttraintostafford@yahoo.co.uk. However I know that this
is 99.9% accurate because it sounds so much better than all of the other tabs around.
I don't know the rhythems, its pretty easy if you know the song. Listen to the CD for
the rhythem.
Enjoy :)
