Chords with lyrics
E MajorE
When you're a skinny child of fourteen,
Wired with braces from ear to ear,
FF E/F FF E7/F B/C C majorC B/C C majorC
You doubt that you will ever be appealing.
FF
Then Hallelujah! You are fifteen
And the braces disappear
And your skin is smooth and clear
F#F# F/F# F#F# F7/F# C9C9
And you have that happy grown-up female feeling.
