She was only sixteen, only sixteen.

I loved her so.

But she was too young to fall in love,
G C
And I was too young to know.
#2.
C F G
We'd laugh and we'd sing and do little things,
G C
that made my heart glow.
C F G
But she was too young to fall in love,
G C
And I was too young to know.
CHORUS:
F G7 C
Why did I give my heart so fast?
F G7 C
It never will happen again.
C F C
But I was a mere lad of sixteen,
D G
I've aged a year since then.
#3.
C F G
She was only sixteen, only sixteen,
G C
with eyes that would glow.
C F G
But she was too young to fall in love,
G C
And I was too young to know.

C F G
But she was too young to fall in love,
G C
And I was too young to know.(x2)Fade.
