[Verse 1]
G
If I can turn back the time
Cadd9
It's like a blink of an eye
G
I'm singing "it's the climb"
Cadd9
And look up the sky
G
I'm coming home to my parents
Cadd9
Sitting there under the tree
G
It's not the same in the present
Cadd9
Or is it just me
[Chorus]
Em Cadd9 G
Why is everything changing around me?
Em Cadd9 G
Why can't I live my life and just let it be?
Em Cadd9 G
Wh---y is it so hard to be seen?
Em Cadd9 G
Why can't I just be sixteen
[Verse 2]
G
I'm sitting there by the fire
Cadd9
Trying to write a song
G
My voice has to be higher
Cadd9
Cause it just sounds so wrong
G
Everyone is just laughing
Cadd9
Smiling and happy too
G
Some people stand there dancing
Cadd9
I hope you can feel it too
[Chorus]
Em Cadd9 G
Why is everything changing around me?
Em Cadd9 G
Why can't I live my life and just let it be?
Em Cadd9 G
Wh---y is it so hard to be seen?
Em Cadd9 G
Why can't I just be sixteen
[Bridge]
Cadd9 G
And I know it just sounds crazy
B
What am I supposed to know
Cadd9 G
But the old times they did break me
B
Why do we have to grow
Cadd9 G
Why couldn't I stay sixteen
B
The time is running out
Cadd9 G
I hope that it'll fix me
B
Before I turn around
[Chorus]
Em Cadd9 G
Why is everything changing around me?
Em Cadd9 G
Why can't I live my life and just let it be?
Em Cadd9 G
Wh---y is it so hard to be seen?
Em Cadd9 G
Why can't I just be sixteen
