Sixteen

	  		
 


        Am            Em 
And she was no beauty queen 

           G               D 
She was in love at just sixteen 

        C   B         Am              D 
with an older boy who hardly knew her name 

          Am               Em 
She would think of him and say 

G                               D  
You will be mine some day 

        C   B    Am          D 
But her head was filled with things that could've been 

       	 G 
And she was just sixteen 



      Am	              	Em 
Her head was filled with fairydust and gold 

	   D 
She never did what she was told 

	Am			        Em 
But she knew what she wanted from a very early age 

         D 
Didn't care about a job or give a damn about a wage 

Am			        Em 
She just wanted him, and she wanted him for good 

	         D 
She would do whatever it took, whatever she could 

Am				        Em 
And now she can't stop loving him she never meant to start 

D 
But what else can you expect from a foolish heart 



        Am            Em 
And she was no beauty queen 

           G               D

        C   B         Am              D

          Am               Em 
She would think of him and say 

G                               D  
You will be mine some day 

        C   B    Am          D 
But her head was filled with things that could've been 

       	 G

Am				Em 
Age is but a number she would say and she'd believe 

      D 
But four years is way too long to wear your heart on your sleeve 

	Am					Em 
And she thought maybe it's time to move on, it's been too long romance is gone, 

D	 
Sung is the song and now this feels all wrong 

	 Am		     Em 
And in a world of advice she feels so small 

D 
Someone better tell this girl it's probably not love at all 




        Am            Em

           G               D

Dm  F 		     C		          G 
Oh no, here she goes again, here she goes again 

Dm				    F 
And she got what she wanted when he returned her love 

C		           G 
Everything was cosy he fit her like a glove 

Dm						        F 
She always dreamt of things she never had though she knew that it was wrong 

C					G 
He blinked and she blinked and suddenly thirty years were gone 

Gm 
They remembered all the times that she 




Am            Em 
was no beauty queen 

           G               D 
She was in love at just sixteen
