Sixteen For Awhile
Written by:Dave Carroll SOCAN
G C D Em
1. I returned to my home town yesterday
C G D
and my life before my eyes came flashing back
G C D Em
Everything was changed and the faces look so strange
C G D
sometimes I wish that I was young again
CHORUS
Em C G D
And if I close my eyes think on back to happy times
Em C G D
I could be 16 years old for awhile
Em C G
Honest friendships, high school dances innocence short
D
romances
Em C G D
Life was simple but it sure was good somehow
G C D
2. Then we drove to an old beach last night
C G D
a place we used to go not long ago
G C
Walking barefoot in the sand
D Em
I saw to people holding hands
C G D
Falling in love for their first time
CHORUS
Em C G D
And if I close my eyes think on back to happy times
Em C G D
I could be 16 years old for awhile
Em C G
Honest friendships, high school dances innocence short
D
romances
Em C G D
Life was simple but it sure was good somehow
G C D
3. Now I'm older I guess a little wiser
C G D
experience is added to my name
G C D
But I can't help but feel that I traded apart of who I
Em
am along the way
CHORUS 2X
Em C G D
And if I close my eyes think on back to happy times
Em C G D
I could be 16 years old for awhile
Em C G
Honest friendships, high school dances innocence short
D
romances
Em C G D
Life was simple but it sure was good somehow
