Sixteen

G D  Em C

[Verse 1]
   G          D                 Em
I know that I say I don't like drama
    C               G       D
But quiet seems so scary to me
      C           G            D               Em
When everybody's gone and the candles are all blown out
    C         D
And it's just me


[Chorus]
                    C
I'm thinking about homework that is due tomorrow
G
Dancing all alone at prom
    Em                  D
And oh that boy that I thought was here to stay
                    C
I'm thinking about how I yelled at my mama
   G
I hope she knows that I'm sorry
    Em                                 D
And why aren't me and dad on the same page
   C                                  G                             Em
I know that I should really stop and start to learn to call on you first
 C*   G*  D*  N.C.
Bear with me, I'm only sixteen

[Verse 2]
    G                  D            Em
I know that I say I'm ready to get older
            C             G              D
But it's scarier than I thought it would be
C                G               D     Em
People keep on asking about my future
     C                                  D
When I just wanna wear sweatpants, eat pizza and ice cream


[Chorus 2]
                        C
But I'm thinking about what I'm gonna wear tomorrow
G
Am I cute enough to model?
    Em                       D
And all those girls that I thought would be my friends
                    C
I'm thinking about how I yelled at my mama
   G
I hope she knows that I'm sorry
    Em                                 D
And why aren't me and dad on the same page
   C                                  G                             Em
I know that I should really stop and start to learn to call on you first
 C*   G*  D*  N.C.
Bear with me, I'm only sixteen


[Bridge]
   C                             Em
I wanna pray and tell you what's on my heart
         C                              Em
But I'm kinda scared that I don't know where to start
   C                            Em
So all that I can do is talk to you like a friend
     C                    D
And ask, if we can start again


[Chorus 3]
                C
'Cause I don't wanna wait till tomorrow
    G
To tell you all about my sorrows
 Em                        D
Even when you don't speak, I know you'll be listening
       C
So I come to you with an open heart
 G
Knowing you have open arms
    Em                        D
And if I fall on to my knees, I know you're gonna catch me
    C                              G                                   Em
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to learn that I should call you first
 C*   G*  D* N.C.
Bear with me I'm only sixteen
