G                     C
She was only sixteen, only sixteen,
D               G
But I loved her so,
                     C
She was too young to fall in love,
    D                  G
And I was too young to know,

[Verse]
                          C
We'd laugh and we'd sing, and do funny things,
D                      G
And it made our hearts glow,
                     C 
She was too young to fall in love,
    D                  G
And I was too young to know,
   C                 G
So why did I give my heart so fast,
   C                 G
It never will happen again,
    C            G
But I was a mere child of sixteen,
D
I've aged a year since then,

[Chorus]
G                     C
She was only sixteen, only sixteen,
D               G
But I loved her so,
                     C
She was too young to fall in love,
    D                  G
And I was too young to know,

[Verse]
   C                 G
So why did I give my heart so fast,
   C                 G
It never will happen again,
    C            G 
But I was a mere child of sixteen,
D
I've aged a year since then,

[Chorus]
G                     C
She was only sixteen, only sixteen,
D               G
But I loved her so,
                     C
She was too young to fall in love,
    D                  G
And I was too young to know,
