Intro: F# Bb B E 2x

F#                B        E
Feeling like I'm almost sixteen again
F#                   B         E
Layin' 'round doing nothing like all my friends
F#                     B       E         F#
Play it cool don't get angry count up to ten
B                E
Just like I was sixteen again

No one gets the lowdown right from the start

Everybody gets the showdown right from the heart

But that's all that's on the menu and life's a la carte

I don't know


A                 G
Things in life are not played for keeps
A                           G
If it makes you happy it'll make you weep
A                        G
And if you want some more practical advice
A                            G
If you can't think once then don't think twice
A                        G
'Cos things won't seem so nice
                            F#
You'll wish you were sixteen again
B    E
Oh no

Feeling rather strange when you're sixteen again
Things don't seem the same the past is so plain
This future is our future this time's not a game
This time you're sixteen again

Always on your own when there's nobody else
Asking myself would I be someone else
But after all life's only death's recompense
I don't know

Things in life are not played for keeps
If it makes you happy it'll make you weep
And if you want some more practical advice
If you can't think once then don't think twice
'Cos things won't seem so nice
You'll wish you were sixteen again
Oh no

Look at me here I am for your eyes
Mirrored proof of what you recognize
I know I never will feel quite like you
And I know you won't treat me right till I do
But at least we'll know it's true
That I'm sixteen again
Oh no

Feeling like I'm almost sixteen again
Lazin' 'round doing nothing like all my friends
Play it cool don't get angry count up to ten
Just like I was sixteen again

Always on your own when there's nobody else
Asking myself would I be someone else
But after all life's only death's recompense
I don't know

Look at me here I am for your eyes
Mirrored proof of love's suicide
I know I never will feel quite like you
And I know you won't treat me right till I do
But at least we'll know it's true
That I'm sixteen again
Oh no
