#1.
BmThe kids are Em7singing loud (rat-a-Atang-tu-tang-tu-tang) Happy Ebirthday, sweet Asixteen. And so, I Dsmile and hope (rat-a-Bmtang-tu-tang-tu-tang) that my Dtears will not be seen. BmBecause I'm Gmuch too old to cry (too old to cry) but still too Gbmyoung to find out Bwhy (to find out why.) Why I'm so Elonely, it Ahurts to be Dsixteen. (DRat-a-tang-rat-a-Bmtang-tu-tang-tu-tang..Drat-a-tang-rat- a-Bmtang.)
#2.
BmDon't think that Em7you're grown up (rat-a-Atang-tu-tang- tu-tang) when Em7you become Asixteen. Because like Dme, you'll see (rat-a-Bmtang-tu-tang-tu-tang) you're Donly in beBmtween. Em7They say that Gyou're too old for toys (too old for toys) But still you're Gbmmuch too young for Bmboys (too young for Bboys) I hate to Em7tell you, it Ahurts to be Dsixteen.
BRIDGE:
I Am7found a Bmwonderful Gguy (Bmwonderful Gguy) I want to Gbmspend my life with him (spend my life with him.) They say we're Bmtoo young to start..they're Edriving us apart.. we're Afinished beEm7fore we beAgin.
#3.
I Bmcan't keep Em7smiling through (rat-a-Atang-tu-tang-tu-tang) cause it Em7hurts, sweet Asixteen. This party's Dover now (rat-a-Bmtang-tu-tang-tu-tang) and Dyou
know what I mean.
BmTo all of Gyou who have shown up (who have shown up) come back next Gbmyear when I've grown Bmup (when I've grown up.) But now please Em7go, because it Ahurts to be Dsixteen.
OUTRO:
(DYou know it hurts to Bmbe sixteen) you know it Dhurts. (DThey say it hurts to Bmbe sixteen) I said it Dhurts. (DYou know it hurts to Bmbe sixteen)(Fade.)
