Sixteen For A While Chords

[Intro]
Em C D Em C G D
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em C                 D           Em
I returned to my hometown yesterday
         C               G                  D
and my life before my eyes came flashing back
G                  C              D               Em
Everything was changed and the faces looked so strange
 C                     G               D
sometimes I wish that I was young again
 
 
[Chorus]
Em         C        G                         D
And if I close my eyes and think in back to happy times
Em             C           G           D
I could be sixteen years old for a while
Em                    C                     G           D
honest friendships, high school dances, innocence and short romances
Em          C            G              D
life was simple but it sure was good somehow
 
 
[Verse 2]
G          C          D              Em
Then we drove to an old beach last night
    C               G            D
a place we used to go not long ago
  G               C
walking barefoot in the sand
   D               Em
I saw two people holding hands
C            G                    D
falling in love for their fist time
 
 
[Chorus]
Em         C        G                         D
And if I close my eyes and think in back to happy times
Em             C           G           D
I could be sixteen years old for a while
Em                    C                     G           D
honest friendships, high school dances, innocence and short romances
Em          C            G              D
life was simple but it sure was good somehow
 
 
[Bridge]
G          C       D             Em
Now I'm older I guess a little wiser
C                G          D
experience is added to my name
G                       C
But I can't help but feel
D               Em
that I traded apart
C         G              D
of who I am along the way
 
 
[Chorus]
Em         C        G                         D
And if I close my eyes and think in back to happy times
Em             C           G           D
I could be sixteen years old for a while
Em                    C                     G           D
honest friendships, high school dances, innocence and short romances
Em          C            G              D
life was simple but it sure was good somehow
 
 
[Outro]
Em         C        G                         D
And if I close my eyes and think in back to happy times
Em             C           G           D
It sure feels good to be sixteen for a while
Em                    C                     G           D
honest friendships, high school dances, innocence and short romances
Em          C            G              D
life was simple but it sure was good somehow
