Sixteen Tab

Hi everyone!
 
This should give you all the tools you'll need for mastering this song. Overall 5/10 difficulty. This
tab is from the official tab book, so everything should be 100% correct. I will, however, add ways that I
like to play it. Oh, and learn the chorus bass line if possible! Trust me, you'll want to.
 
Thanks, enjoy! :)

[Verse 2] FIG 2
 
Why do they have to force us
Through this metamorphose?
Oh, little butterfly
No matter how you try
 
You'll be segregated
You're gonna be closed off
You're callow and you're green
'Cause you're caught between
 
 
[Chorus] FIG 1-1.5
 
Yeah, you're only sixteen
Try to cross the line
But your, your little wings are intertwined
No, whoa Whoa, no
 
Well you're only sixteen
And you're such a tease
And there's nothing you do
That can really please
Whoa, oh, no

You know you can't forsake it
So sit back and take it
You see, you're not just ripe
So don't try and fight
 
 
[Chorus] FIG 1-1.5
 
That you're only sixteen
Wanna catch a peek
But they, they look at you
Like you're such a freak
Whoa, oh, no
 
Well you're only sixteen
With a lot to say
But they, they won't give you
The time of day
Whoa. Whoa, no
