[Bm]The kids are [Em7]singing loud (rat-a-[A]tang-tu-tang-tu-tang)

that my [D]tears will not be seen.
[Bm]Because I'm [G]much too old to cry (too old to cry)

[Em7]They say that [G]you're too old for toys (too old for toys)
But still you're [Gbm]much too young for [Bm]boys (too young for

I [Bm]can't keep [Em7]smiling through (rat-a-[A]tang-tu-tang-tu-tang)
cause it [Em7]hurts, sweet [A]sixteen.
This party's [D]over now (rat-a-[Bm]tang-tu-tang-tu-tang) and [D]you

know what I mean.
[Bm]To all of [G]you who have shown up (who have shown up) come back
next [Gbm]year when I've grown [Bm]up (when I've grown up.)
But now please [Em7]go, because it [A]hurts to be [D]sixteen.
