Verse 1:

      C        D
Sixteen finds me
             C                 D
Blowing out candles and making wishes
        G             C
And all around me
       G                    Em
Is everyone but the one I'm wishing for
    C           D
And he sent me flowers
    Em          G
And gift-wrapped excuses
      C           D
From a daddy whose daughter¨
     Em          G
Wants to see him again

It's just another birthday

This would be the one
              C        G
When he would call me, see me

Verse 2:
      C        D
Nineteen finds me
        C                 D
And I'm wild-eyed and wide open
         G                C
I gave myself away to love
     G                     Em
But backseat promises fade like a mist
     C                        D
I'm screaming at the midnight air
     Em                G
Everyone hears me but I don't care
            C                    D
My heart's clenched just like a fist
               Em                 G
'Cause, people, I didn't ask for any of this

In the company of strangers

Since you've called me, saw me

Held me and freed me
