She was only sixteen, only sixteen, 
    C           F 
But I loved her so, 
                     Bb       C              
She was too young to fall in love, 
   Bb     C             F 
And I was too young to know, 
 
 
                           Bb            C      Bb 
We'd laugh and we'd sing, and do funny things, 
       C                F 
And it made our hearts glow, 
                     Bb       C      
She was too young to fall in love, 
    Bb    C              F 
And I was too young to know, 
 

   Bb         C       F 
So why did I give my heart so fast, 
    Bb         C      F 
It never will happen again, 
    Bb       C     F         Dm 
But I was a mere child of sixteen, 
G7                      C7 
I've aged a year since then,  
 
 
         F             Bb      C     
She was only sixteen, only sixteen, 
Bb        C               F 
Oh, with eyes that would glow, 
                     Bb       C 
She was too young to fall in love, 
    Bb    C              F 
And I was too young to know,

Oh, but I loved that girl so, 
                     Bb       C 
She was too young to fall in love, 
    Bb     C            F 
And I was too young to know.

Yeah, She was too young to fall in love, 
    Bb           C                           F    
And I was too young, I was much to young to know
