16

 
Cmaj7 
I went from 

Princes and pirate ships 
   Fmaj7 
To breaking hearts 

And I don't remember it 
      C 
Cause childhood scars 
                     Am 
Left me a sour taste 
 

 
    Cmaj7 
Now I'm 13 

I've got anxiety 
 Fmaj7 
Girls are mean 

I guess the irony's 
     C 
They wanna be 
                          Am 
The people that they hate 
 

 
  Cmaj7 
I thought we were kids 

What the hell happened 
    Fmaj7 
His hands on my skin 

Not what I imagined 
    C 
I'm crying to friends 
                        Am 
In the girl's bathroom again 
 

 
Cmaj7 
 Please slow it down 

I'm freaking out 
Fmaj7 
 I'm growing up 

And lost my crown 
C 
 I don't think I'd be reminiscing 
Am 
 If time stopped back when I was 16 
 

 
Cmaj7 
I went from 

Curfews and sneaking out 
   Fmaj7 
To downtown clubs 

Now in a bigger town 
    C 
And everyone 
                          Am 
Feels like a stranger now 
 

 
    Cmaj7 
Now I'm 22 
                           Fmaj7 
It's the first time that I said 

"I love you" 
                            C 
And I'm scared as hell that you'll say it too 

And we'll see it through 
         Am 
Put your knee on the floor and I'll say that I do 
 

 
  Cmaj7 
I thought we were kids 

What the hell happened 
Fmaj7 
My clothes don't fit 

I never imagined 
  C 
A pregnancy test 

Would make me cry in the bathroom 
        Am 
At that damn CVS 

Down the street from my high school 
 

 
Cmaj7 
 Please slow it down 

I'm freaking out 
Fmaj7 
 I'm growing up 

And lost my crown 
C 
 I don't think I'd be reminiscing 
Am 
 If time stopped back when I was 16 
 

Outro: 

Cmaj7 
 I miss my mom 

Since I moved out 
Fmaj7 
 I promised that 

I'd make her proud 
C 
 I don't think I'd be reminiscing 
Am 
 If time stopped back when I was 16
