INTRO: C#C# C#/F F#F# AbAb


VERSE:
C#C#       C#/F  F#F#   AbAb
Take a left here boy, take it slow
C#C#       C#/F      F#F# AbAb
Don't get distracted by that radio
C#C#         C#/F       F#F#    AbAb
I just rolled my eyes and I said, "Daddy, I know"
   C#C#
I'm fifteen,
    C#/F         F#F#     AbAb
I ain't green like some ol' ten year old

CHORUS:
C#C#       C#/F      F#F#   AbAb    C#C#
What I wouldn't give to be sixteen, wild and free
C#C#        C#/F      F#F# AbAb
Cruisin' up and down main in my F-150
C#C#         C#/F
Roll the windows down,
     F#F#       AbAb
bass too loud From this burnt CD
C#C#           C#/F       F#F#
I'll be right where I wanna be when I'm sixteen
AbAb     C#C# C#/F F#F# AbAb C#C# C#/F F#F# AbAb
Sixteen, yeah

VERSE:
C#C#       C#/F
Now that I can drive,
       F#F#          AbAb
finally feel alive, but I got this curfew
C#C#      C#/F
Sneakin' in late,
         F#F#      AbAb
smelling like my girlfriend's perfume
C#C#         C#/F
People talk about college
    F#F#        AbAb
And knowledge and that's alright
   C#C#
But all I'm thinkin'
 C#/F     F#F#      AbAb
'bout is an unsupervised Saturday night

CHORUS:
C#C#         C#/F  F#F#    AbAb    C#C#
What I wouldn't give to be eighteen, wild and free
C#C#       C#/F     F#F#    AbAb
Buzzin' off a can of the grizzly wintergreen
C#C#        C#/F  F#F#     AbAb
Lookin' old enough to pull off this fake ID
C#C#       C#/F
I'll be right where I wanna be
      F#F#
When I'm eighteen
AbAb     C#C#
Eighteen, yeah

INSTRUMENTAL: C#C# C#/F F#F# AbAb x2

BRIDGE:
BbmBbm
I'm old enough to smoke
          F#F#
I'm old enough to vote
    C#C#
But they turn me away
         AbAb
when I go to the Cotton Eyed Joe
       BbmBbm
They say the grass is always greener
   F#F#
And I believe that's right
    C#C#
But my friends are off to Vegas,
     AbAb
they're leavin' me behind

CHORUS:
C#C#        C#/F
What I wouldn't give
    F#F#     AbAb    C#C#
To be twenty one, wild and free
      C#/F      F#F#     AbAb
Open up a cold one and drink it legally
 C#C#      C#/F         F#F#
Chase a bunch of girls, go see the world
    AbAb     C#C#
Let my wild streak run
        C#/F
I'll be right where I wanna be
       F#F#     AbAb  C#C# C#/F
When I'm twenty one, twenty one
 F#F#           AbAb
(woah, when I'm twenty one)
C#C# C#/F F#F# AbAb      C#C# C#/F      F#F#
(yeah, when I'm twenty one, it'll be alright

(yeah, it'll be alright, when I'm twenty one)

OUTRO:
C#C#      C#/F
Now I'm twenty five and
        F#F#    AbAb
I'm drinkin' wine with my wife at home
C#C#        C#/F       F#F#     AbAb
Got a couple of dogs and a couple songs on the radio
  C#C#      C#/F       F#F#     AbAb
And we sit around and we laugh about how we used to be
C#C#      C#/F           F#F#
When all we cared about was turning sixteen
