Sixteen Years Chords & Lyrics - Misc Unsigned Bands - Charlie Hodgson

[G] [C] [D]
[G] [C] [D]

I s[G]hoved you 'cause I loved you, man
Didn't m[Em]ean to lean too hard to stand
Wish you w[C]ould've said you were alr[D]eady on the l[G]edge

You s[G]lurred your words and went AWOL
I've seen [Em]more grace scrawled on bathroom walls
Then you w[C]ent silent and l[D]eft it all for d[G]ead

I reached [Em]out, [D/F#]but [G]I'm [D]the [G]fool
'Cause you c[Em]ouldn't s[D/F#]pare [G]one sylla[B7]ble

Now you're n[G]othing to me, just a lyric a memory
The reason why I wake up so [Em]aaaaaaaa[D]aaaaaan[G]gry
And [G]honestly, a "fuck you" would be a coutesy
But you walked away so goddamn e[Em]eeeeee[D]eeeasi[G]ly

Though you'll [Em]never r[C]each your d[G]estinati[D]on,
[Cadd9]Run aw[G]ay like you've a[D]lways d[G]one
'Cause c[Em]owards like you
[D]That's what you were born to do

[G] [C] [D]
[G] [C] [D]

[G]You, you're a mispelled tattoo
[Em]Maybe permanently skewed
'Cause you're [C]too afraid of p[D]ain to correct i[G]t
[G]One day you will wake up to
A m[Em]onument built just for you
From [C]bits of relation[D]ships you didn't care to fix

Now you're n[G]othing to me, just a lyric a memory
The reason why I wake up so [Em]aaaaaaaa[D]aaaaaan[G]gry
And [G]honestly, a "fuck you" would be a coutesy
But you walked away so goddamn e[Em]eeeeee[D]eeeasi[G]ly

Though you'll [Em]never r[C]each your d[G]estinati[D]on,
[Cadd9]Run aw[G]ay like you've a[D]lways d[G]one
'Cause c[Em]owards like you
[D]That's what you were born to [G]do

[G]I hope you're listening to this
[D/F#]Surrounded by friends
[Em]Who know now that this is how
[C]Things could end for them
If s[G]ixteen years was just enough
Then [D/F#]sixteen years taight me so much
Like y[Em]eah, we all get older
[C]But not a[C7]ll of us grow [G]up

[G] [G]Whoa [G/B]oh [Cadd9]oooooh
Not all of us grow [G]up
[G] [G]Whoa [G/B]oh [Cadd9]oooooh

Is t[G]hat what you call tact?
You're as subtle as a brick, but I'm throwing it back
I tried to [Cadd9]make things right, let the ink flow
What I got notebooks full of, you don't even wanna know
[G]My Bic spits as it wishes you well
And I rehearse every curse I know how to spell
But the [Cadd9]best revenge might be
To never treat anyone the way you treated me

Now you're n[G]othing to me, just a lyric a memory
The reason why I wake up so [Em]aaaaaaaa[D]aaaaaan[G]gry
And [G]honestly, a "fuck you" would be a coutesy
But you walked away so goddamn e[Em]eeeeee[D]eeeasi[G]ly

Though you'll [Em]never r[C]each your d[G]estinati[D]on,
[Cadd9]Run aw[G]ay like you've a[D]lways d[G]one
'Cause c[Em]owards like you
[D]That's what you were born to do
