Intro: D G D G 

verse 1: 
D                                           G 
I wont see sleep tonight, like careless people do.  
D                                                            G 
I will not dream tonight, for fear that something might come true.  
E 
And I think the thing that's hurting is I should so know better  
G                                       D                          G 
But its much less work to take the pain than it is to forget her.    
D                                            G 
I will not reminisce all the perfect days that were,  
D                                                   G         
And I wont say it was bliss the thing I felt I was so sure.  
Em 
And I think the thing that's bleeding is the slash you never disinfected,  
G                                    D 
So now I'll never have a love and I feel like that means I'm protected.  


D                                                              G 
You must think I'm still sixteen, I dropped out of high school for a reason, 
D                                                           Em 
And I don't care if you're pretty I'm not admitting you are right  
Em               G       D 
My soul is not a stage I wont pretend I'm anything I'm not.  

verse 2:  
D                                    (G)             G 
I know your secrets but I don't know where you are tonight.  
D                                                              G        Gm 
So, this is tag you're it, I stopped playing games when I was five-foot-five. 
(F) Em                                                      G 
And my windows screen keeps freezing and the view is always pornographic.  
G                             D 
The nightmare of a night sky, who you're with and where you have been.  

 
D                        G         D                              G         D 
You must think I'm still sixteen I dropped out of high school for a reason  
D 
And I don't care if you're pretty I'm not admitting you are right 
   B       Em                 G           A        D 
My soul is not a stage I wont pretend I'm anything I'm not  


Bridge:  

D 
You, and I'll never be close to what you need.  
Em      D  Em           G  D 
I'm not you, I'll never be close to what you need.  


D                        G          D                              G       D 
You must think I'm still sixteen, I dropped out of high school for a reason 
D                                     G                     Em 
And I don't care if you're pretty I'm not admitting you are right,  
Em                       G                         D 
My soul is not a stage I wont pretend I'm anything  
                             G 
'Cause you'll just think I'm still sixteen, yeah,  
D 
You'll just think I'm still sixteen,  
                                   Gm 
Oh you'll just think I'm still sixteen.  
D            A        C         Dm 
You'll just think I'm still sixteen.
