Fifteen

[Intro] G  C  Em  C

G                                
 You take a deep breath and you walk
C
 through the doors
            Em                     
 Its the morning of your very first
  C
 day
         G                         
 You say hi to your friends you 
   C
aint seen in a while
              Em                 C
 Try and stay out of everybodys way
G                                 
 It's your freshman year and 
  C
you're gonna be here
             Em                 
 For the next four years in this 
    C
town
                    G           
 Hoping one of those senior boys 
      C
will wink at you and say
            Em                    
 You know I haven't seen you 
C   C
around, before

                   G
 'Cause when you're fifteen and
Em                    D
 Somebody tells you they love you
                 C
 You're gonna believe them
                G
 And when you're fifteen
   D                    Em     
 Feeling like there's nothing to 
        C
figure out
     Em                  D
 Well count to ten, take it in
                         G       
 This is life before you know who 
         D     C
you're gonna be
D
 At fifteen

( G  C  Em  C )

G                            C

         Em                    C  
 And soon enough you're best 
(Em C G D)
friends
G                                
 Laughing at the other girls who 
C
think they're so cool
          Em                       
 We'll be out of here as soon as we
 C
 can
     G                             
 And then you're on your very first
  C
 date
                Em            
 And he's got a car and you're 
             C
feeling like flying
            G                      
 And you're momma's waiting up and 
       C
you're thinking he's the one
              Em                   
 And you're dancing round your room
       C
 when the night ends
          C
 When the night ends

                   G
 'Cause when you're fifteen and
Em                     D
 Somebody tells you they love you
                 C
 You're gonna believe them
                G
 And when you're fifteen
  D                Em             
 And your first kiss makes your 
  C
head spin 'round
    Em                           D
 But in your life you'll do things 
greater than
            G           D        C
 Dating the boy on the football team
             D
 But I didnt know it at fifteen

( G  C  Em C D )

C          Em                 D
 When all you wanted was to be 
wanted
                            G   
 Wish you could go back and tell 
               D      C D
yourself what you know now

G                              C
 Back then I swore I was gonna marry
 him someday
       Em                          
 But I realized some bigger dreams 
C
of mine
     G                 C          
 And Abigail gave everything she 
    Em
had to a boy
                 C            C
 Who changed his mind and we both 
cried

                   G
 'Cause when you're fifteen and
Em                     D
 Somebody tells you they love you
                 C
 You're gonna believe them
                G
 And when you're fifteen
  D          Em           C
 Don't forget to look before you 
fall
Em                            D
 I've found time can heal most 
anything
                    G              
 And you just might find who you're
    D      C
 supposed to be
          Em            D         
 I didn't know who I was supposed 
   C
to be
D
 At fifteen

Your very first day, take a deep 
breath girl
Em                        C
 Take a deep breath as you walk 
through the doors
