[Gm] [C]
She [F] was only sixteen, [Bb] [C] only sixteen, [Bb] but [C] I [F] loved her so.
She was too young [Bb] to [C] fall in love, [Gm] and I [C] was too [F] young to know.
We'd laugh and we'd sing [Bb] and do [C] funny [Bb] things, [C] and it made our [F] hearts glow.
But she was too young [Bb] to fall [C] in love, [Gm] and I [C] was too [F] young to know.
[Bb] So why did [C] I give [F] my heart so fast?
[Bb] It never [C] will happen [F] again.
But [Bb] I was [C] a mere [F] child of [Dm] sixteen, [G] I've aged a year [C] since then.
She [F] was only sixteen, [Bb] only [C]
sixteen, [Bb] ooh, [C] with eyes that [F] would glow.
She was too young [Bb] to fall [C] in love, [Bb] and I [C] was too [F] young to know.
