[Intro]
C G Am F
[Verse]
C G
Sweet sixteen's a beautiful thing
Am
For the small town hopes
F
And big city dreams
C G
Your diary's filled with getaway plans
Am
Then he sweeps in
F
And just like that
Am G
You're rewriting your story for him
D
All your wishes are gone with the wind
F
Well if you think that he's all that there is
[Chorus]
C
Think outside the boy
G
Look right past his charm
Am
He's not your definition
F
No he ain't who you are
C
If you don't love yourself
Em
He sure ain't gonna help
Am G F
There's so much more to life than living like his wind-up toy
C G
Think outside the boy, ooh
Am F
Think outside the boy
[Verse]
C G
Well I've been there, yeah, I believed
Am
That he was my forever
F
He was all I'd ever need
C
But I gave up what I wanted
G
And I gave him control
Am F
I lost myself in a deep, dark hole
Am G
I'm here to tell ya that it's never too late
D
To cut the strings and take back your fate
F
You'll find yourself again along the way, just
[Chorus]
C
Think outside the boy
G
Look right past his charm
Am
He's not your definition
F
No he ain't who you are
C
If you don't love yourself
Em
He sure ain't gonna help
Am G F
There's so much more to life than living like his wind-up toy
[Bridge]
G
Oh, when the right one comes along
Am
He won't make you choose
F
When the right one comes along
Dm
He'll love that you
[Chorus]
C G
Think outside the boy, oh
Am F
Think outside the boy
C
If you don't love yourself
Em
He sure ain't gonna help
Am G F
There's so much more to life than living like his wind-up toy
C G
Think outside the boy, oh
Am F
Think outside the boy
End on F
