Sixteen

[Intro]
C#
C# C#/F F#sus2 G#sus4   C# C#/F F#sus2 G#sus4
                     Mmm

[Verse 1]
C#                  C#/F
  "Take a left here,    boy,
F#sus2        G#sus4
      take it slow
C#          C#/F              F#sus2    G#sus4
  Don't get distracted by that      radio"
C#              C#/F                F#sus2
  I just rolled my  eyes and I said,      "Daddy,
  G#sus4
I know
    C#
I'm fifteen,
C#/F                         F#sus2         G#sus4
I   ain't green like some ol'      ten year old"

[Chorus]
C#                C#/F          F#sus2 G#sus4
  What I wouldn't give to be sixteen, wild  and free
C#                C#/F            F#sus2 G#sus4
  Cruisin' up and down Main in my F150
C#                 C#/F
  Roll the windows down,
             F#sus2          G#sus4
bass too loud      from this burnt CD
C#              C#/F                      F#sus2   G#sus4
  I'll be right where I wanna be when I'm sixteen, sixteen,
yeah
C# C#/F F#sus2 G#sus4
               Sixteen
C# C#/F F#sus2 G#sus4

[Verse 2]
C#               C#/F
  Now that I can drive, finally feel alive,
F#sus2              G#sus4
      but I got this      curfew
C#            C#/F
  Sneakin' in late,
                 F#sus2       G#sus4
smelling like my girlfriend's perfume
C#               C#/F                  F#sus2
  People talkin' 'bout college and knowledge and that's
G#sus4
alright
    C#          C#/F               F#sus2    G#sus4
But all I'm thinkin' 'bout is an unsupervised      Saturday
night

[Chorus]
C#                C#/F           F#sus2 G#sus4
  What I wouldn't give to be eighteen, wild  and free
C#              C#/F             F#sus2 G#sus4
  Buzzin' off a can of that Grizzly winter green
C#             C#/F             F#sus2     G#sus4
  Lookin' old enough to pull off      this fake  ID
C#              C#/F                      F#sus2
  I'll be right where I wanna be when I'm eighteen,
G#sus4
eighteen
C# C#/F F#sus2 G#sus4
               Eighteen, yeah

[Bridge]
C# C#/F F#sus2 G#sus4    A#m
                     I'm old enough to smoke,
    F#
I'm old enough to vote
         C#                            G#
But they turn me away when I go to the CottonEyed Joe
             A#m
They say the grass is always greener,
    F#
and I believe that's right
       C#
But my friends are off to Vegas,
            G#
and they're leavin' me behind

[Chorus]
C#                C#/F           F#sus2
  What I wouldn't give to be twenty    one,
G#sus4
wild  and free
C#        C#/F             F#sus2   G#sus4
  Open up a   cold one and drink it legally
C#                 C#/F
  Chase a bunch of girls, go see the world,
F#sus2       G#sus4
      let my wild  streak run
C#              C#/F                      F#sus2
  I'll be right where I wanna be when I'm twenty one,
G#sus4
twenty one
C# C#/F
       Woah,
F#sus2 G#sus4                   C#     C#/F
             when I'm twenty one  It'll
be alright
     F#sus2 G#sus4
Yeah,             when I'm twenty one,
C# C#/F
   it'll be alright
F#sus2
      Yeah,
      G#sus4                    C#        C#/F F#sus2 G#sus4
it'll all   be alright when I'm twenty one

[Outro]
C#               C#/F
  Now I'm twenty five,
                     F#sus2        G#sus4
and I'm drinkin' wine      with my wife  at home
C#             C#/F                   F#sus2       G#sus4
  Got a couple dogs and a couple songs      on the radio
C#            C#/F
  And we sit around,
                  F#sus2       G#sus4
and we laugh about      how we used  to be
C#         C#/F
  When all we  cared about was turning sixteen
