[Verse 1]
C G E D C G E
It all started like a diary, Dear Miss Reality
D C G E D C
Can’t you find me a boy, just for the summer
G E D C G Em D
He should be about 6 feet, not a man, maybe 16
C G Em D
He should sweep me off of my feet
C G
Just for the summer

[Pre-Chorus]
Em D
But woah, woah, woah
C G EM
Little did I know
D C
That woah, woah, woah
G Em D
He would actually appear

[Chorus]
C G Em D C G
He was just 16, chillin’ in those Levi jeans
Em D C G Em
Playing kiss in the back of his red car
C G Em D C
Cruising fast straight into my young heart
G Em D C G
He was such a dream, right there in front of me
Em D C
Somebody pinch me, please
G E D c
When I’m longer than the summer
C G Em
Yeah, I was 16 (Yeah, I was 16)

[Verse 2]
D C G Em
We all roll into the drive-in
D Em C
Movie starts in about 10
G Em D C G
Don’t get to see the screen, my eyes on you
EM D C G
Now the nights gettin’ colder
Em D C
I’m wrapped up in your sweater
G Em D C G
Wanna make this moment, last forever

[Pre-Chorus]
Em D
But woah, woah, woah
C G Em
Little did I know
D C
That woah, woah, woah
G E D
He could disappear

[Chorus]
C G E D C G
He was just 16, chillin’ in those Levi jeans

Playing kiss in the back of his red car
D C G E
Cruising fast, straight into my young heart
D C G E D C
He was such a dream, right there in front of me
G E
Somebody pinch me, please
D C G E
When I’m longer than the summer

Yeah, I was 16 (Yeah, I was 16)

[Bridge]
G EM
Woah, woah, woah
D C G
Wish I could freeze time
EM
Woah, woah, woah
D C
Can’t say goodbye

[Outro]
G E D C G Em D
Cause he was just 16, chillin’ in those Levi jeans
C G Em D C
Playing kiss in the back of his red car
G Em D C
Cruising fast, straight into my young heart
G Em D C G Em
He was such a dream, right there in front of me
D C G
Somebody pinch me, please
Em D C G Em D
I’ll always remember the summer I was 16
C G
The summer I was 16
