Capo: 1st Fret
[Intro]
C G Am F (x2)
[Verse 1]
C G
There are days when I wake up
Am F
I don't know what I'm doing here
C G Am F
I barely recognize the pair of eyes staring back at me in the mirror
[Pre-Chorus]
C
But there was a day when I was free
G
Not a care that I could see
Am F
So good I could barely believe it was happening
F
Oh take me back again
[Chorus]
C G
When I was sixteen with an open heart
Am F
Windows down in a beat up car
C G
When I was dumb and the world was young
Am F
And she was beautiful
C G
She was beautiful
Am F
She was beautiful
[Verse 2]
C G
How do we end up like this
Am F
Living lives that we don't care about
C G Am
Too busy fixing things on computer screens while the grass grows green me
F
I'm screaming out
[Pre-Chorus]
C
There was a day that I was free
G
Not a care that I could see
Am F
So good I could barely believe it was happening
F
Oh take me back again
[Chorus]
C G
Oh I was sixteen with an open heart
Am F
Windows down in a beat up car
C G
When I was dumb and the world was young
Am F
And she was beautiful
C G
She was beautiful
Am F
She was beautiful
C G
She was beautiful
Am F
She was beautiful yeah yeah yeah
[Interlude]
C G Am F
[Pre-Chorus]
C
But there was a day when I was free

Not a care that I could see
Am F
So good I could barely believe it was happening

Oh take me back again
[Chorus]
C G
When I was sixteen with an open heart
Am F
Windows down in a beat up car
C G
When I was dumb and the world was young
Am F
And the world was young
C G
She was beautiful
Am F
She was beautiful
C
It was you
G
It was you
Am F
And you were beautiful yeah
[Chorus]
C G
When I was sixteen with an open heart

Windows down in a beat up car
