Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]Like we [Em]were sixteen
[G](yeah, yea[D]h, yeah)
[C]Like we [Em]were sixteen
[G](oh yea[D]h, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 1]
[G]Do you remember
when we moved out?
My [Em]mum said, "I love you,
but it's a small house"
So we [G]changed up and saved up
Gave up our town
We were [Em]dangerous,
couldn't tame us
What's missing now?
[G]Time (oh yeah, yeah..)
Suddenly, we got no [Em]time (oh yeah, yeah..)
We're so busy doing [G]life (oh yeah, yeah..)
That I miss your eyes on [Em]mine, mine

[Pre-chorus 1]
If [G]you would just focus on [Am]me
Like we were six[C]teen
And planning our [D]lives
Can I [G]wear your t-shirt
And [Am]sleep on you
While I [C]dream of all the good [D]times?

[Chorus 1]
When we were sixteen
[C]Like we [Em]were six[G]teen (yeah, [D]yeah, yeah)
[C]Like we [Em]were sixteen
[G]Like we [D]were sixteen
[C]Like we [Em]were six[G]teen (yeah, [D]yeah, yeah)
[C]Like we [Em]were sixteen
[G]Like we [D]were sixteen

[Verse 2]
[G]Do you remember the teacher said
"You're [Em]too young, too stupid,
don't lose your head"
But [G]years gone and we held on
with the best intent
Just [Em]two kids who kicked it on MSN
Oh, [G]time (oh yeah, yeah..)
Suddenly, we got no [Em]time (oh yeah, yeah..)
We're so busy doing [G]life (oh yeah, yeah..)
That I miss your eyes on [Em]mine, mine

[Pre-chorus 2]
Oh, If [G]you would just focus on [Am]me
Like we were six[C]teen
And planning our [D]lives
Can I [G]wear your t-shirt
And [Am]sleep on you
While I [C]dream of all the good [D]times?

[Chorus 2]
When we were sixteen
[C]Like we [Em]were six[G]teen (yeah, [D]yeah, yeah)
[C]Like we [Em]were sixteen
[G]Like we [D]were sixteen
[C]Like we [Em]were six[G]teen (yeah, [D]yeah, yeah)
[C]Like we [Em]were sixteen
[G]Like we [D]were sixteen

[Bridge 1]
[Em]Let's take the love that we foun[G]d
And give it back to our[D]selves
Sometimes these things don't work out
Sometimes there'll be no one [Am]else
They said we'd never even
[G]make it this far
But here we [D]are
And we're still counting stars

[Chorus 3]
Like we were sixteen
[C]Like we [Em]were six[G]teen (yeah, [D]yeah, yeah)
[C]Like we [Em]were sixteen
[G]Like we [D]were sixteen
[C]Like we [Em]were six[G]teen (yeah, [D]yeah, yeah)
[C]Like we [Em]were sixteen
[G]Like we [D]were sixteen
[C]Like we [Em]were six[G]teen (yeah, [D]yeah, yeah)
[C]Like we [Em]were..
And we're still counting [G]stars
like [D]we were sixteen
