with an older boy who hardly knew her name

G D

C B * Am D
but her head was filled with things that could’ve been

G
and she was just sixteen

Am Em
her head was filled with fairydust and gold

D
she never did what she was told

Am Em
but she knew what she wanted from a very early age

D
didn’t care about a job or give a damn about a wage

Am Em
she just wanted him , and she wanted him for good

D
she would do whatever it took , whatever she could

Am Em
and now she can’t stop loving him she never meant to start

D
but what else can you expect from a foolish heart

Am Em
and she was no beauty queen

G D
she was in love at just sixteen

C B * Am D
with an older boy who hardly knew her name

Am Em
she would think of him and say

G D
you will be mine some day

C B * Am D
but her head was filled with things that could’ve been

G
and she was just sixteen

Am Em
age is but a number she would say and she’d believe

D
but four years is way too long to wear your heart on your sleeve

Am Em
and she thought maybe it’s time to move on , it’s been too long romance is gone ,

D
sung is the song and now this feels all wrong

Am Em
and in a world of advice she feels so small

D
someone better tell this girl it’s probably not love at all

Am Em
and she was no beauty queen

G D
she was in love at just sixteen

C B * Am D
with an older boy who hardly knew her name

and she was just sixteen

Dm F C G
oh no , here she goes again , here she goes again

Dm F
and she got what she wanted when he returned her love

C G
everything was cosy he fit her like a glove

Dm F
she always dreamt of things she never had though she knew that it was wrong

C G
he blinked and she blinked and suddenly thirty years were gone

Gm
they remembered all the times that she

Am Em
was no beauty queen

G D
she was in love at just sixteen

C B * Am D
with an older boy who hardly knew her name

Am Em
she would think of him and say

G D
you will be mine some day

C B * Am D
