F#F#        BB   E MajorE    F#F#
Feeling like I'm almost sixteen again
F#F#          BB   E MajorE      F#F#
Layin' 'round doing nothing like all my friends
F#F#           BB  E MajorE      F#F#
Play it cool don't get angry count up to ten
BB       E MajorE    F#///B/E/
Just like I'm sixteen again

Everybody gets the lowdown right from the start
Everybody gets the showdown right from the heart
But that's all that's on the menu and life's a la carte
I don't know

(the little bass riff on the G+G chord is like this on the bottom E MajorE string
E MajorE 3-2-0-3-2-0-)

A augmentedA         G+G (bass riff)
Things in life are not played for keeps
A augmentedA         G+G
If it makes you happy it'll make you weep
A augmentedA         G+G
And if you want some more practical advice
A augmentedA         G+G
If you can't think once then don't think twice
A augmentedA            G+G                F#F#
Cos things won't seem so nice ,You'll wish you're sixteen again
BB E MajorE
Oh no

Feeling rather strange when you're sixteen again
Things don't seem the same the past's so plain
This future is our future this time's not a game
This time you're sixteen again

Always on your own when there's nobody else
Asking myself would I be someone else
But after all life's only death's recompense
I don't know

Things in life are not played for keeps
If it makes you happy it'll make you weep
And if you want some more practical advice
If you can't think once then don't think twice
Cos things won't seem so nice
You'll wish you're sixteen again
Oh no

[SOLO]

Look at me here I am for your eyes
Mirrored proof of what you recognize
I know I never will feel quite like you
And I know you won't treat me right till I do
But at least we'll know it's true
That we're sixteen again
Oh no

Feeling like I'm almost sixteen again
Layin' 'round doing nothing like all my friends
Play it cool don't get angry count up to ten
Just like I'm sixteen again

Always on your own when there's nobody else
Asking myself would I be someone else
But after all life's only death's recompense
I don't know

Look at me here I am for your eyes
Mirrored proof of love's suicide
I know I never will feel quite like you
And I know you won't treat me right till I do
But at least we'll know it's true ,That we're sixteen again
Oh no

Sixteen again
