Intro: C  G  Am  F (2x)

          C                   G 
There are days when I wake up 
                      Am         F 
I don't know what I'm doing here 
         C             G                    Am                F 
I barely recognize the pair of eyes staring back at me in the mirror 

                C  
But there was a day when I was free 
      G 
Not a care that I could see 
                Am                    F 
So good I could barely believe it was happening 
           F          
Oh take me back again 

              C                 G 
When I was sixteen with an open heart 
        Am                F 
Windows down in a beat up car 
           C                      G 
When I was dumb and the world was young 
            Am         F 
And she was beautiful 
        C          G 
She was beautiful 
        Am         F 
She was beautiful 

          C                G 
How do we end up like this 
                           Am          F 
Living lives that we don't care about 
         C                   G                       Am                 
Too busy fixing things on computer screens while the grass grows green me 
    F 
I'm screaming out 

            C    
There was a day that I was free 
      G 
Not a care that I could see 
                Am                    F 
So good I could barely believe it was happening 
           F 
Oh take me back again 

            C                 G 
Oh I was sixteen with an open heart 
        Am                F 
Windows down in a beat up car 
           C                      G 
When I was dumb and the world was young 
            Am         F 
And she was beautiful 
        C          G 
She was beautiful 
        Am         F 
She was beautiful 
        C          G 
She was beautiful 
        Am        F 
She was beautiful  yeah yeah yeah 


Interlude: C  G  Am  F 

                C  
But there was a day when I was free 
      G 
Not a care that I could see 
                Am                    F 
So good I could barely believe it was happening 
           F          
Oh take me back again 

              C                 G 
When I was sixteen with an open heart 
        Am                F 
Windows down in a beat up car 
           C                      G 
When I was dumb and the world was young 
                  Am    F 
And the world was young 
        C          G 
She was beautiful 
        Am         F 
She was beautiful 
       C 
It was you 
       G 
It was you 
             Am       F 
And you were beautiful yeah 

                  
              C                 G 
When I was sixteen with an open heart 
        Am                F 
Windows down in a beat up car 
           C                      G 
When I was dumb and the world was young 
            Am          F        
And she was beautiful
