No Doubt – Sixteen (Ukulele)

Am                Dm    G              C
You've been a juvenile, with a dolphin smile,

Am            Dm    G                C         
With no elbow room, and your body in bloom,

Am                     Dm        G                C
You've had your little backyard, protected by big walls,

Am                   Dm     G                     C
You didn't dare look over, 'Cause you've been too small,

C
Well, you're finally sixteen, and you're feeling old,

C                                               Dm          C
But they won't believe that you've, got a soul, Whoa, whoa, no,

C
Cause you're only sixteen, and you're feeling real,

C                                  Dm          C
But you can't seem to, cop a feel, Whoa, whoa, no,

Am                  Dm        G            C
Why do they have to force us, through this metamorphose? 

Am          Dm    G                 C
Little butterfly, no matter how you try,

Am             Dm     G                      C
You'll be segregated, you're gonna be closed off,

Am                       Dm     G                   C
You're callow and you're green, cause you're caught between

C
Well, you're only sixteen, try to, cross the line,

C                                       Dm          C
But your little wings are, intertwined, Whoa, whoa, no,

C    
You're only sixteen and you're such a tease,

C                                             Dm          C
and there's nothing you do to, really please, Whoa, whoa, no,

Am                 Dm          G               C
You know you can't forsake it, so sit back and take it,

Am                      Dm    G                C
You see you're just not ripe, so don't try and fight,

C
That you're only sixteen, wanna, catch a peek,

C                                               Dm          C
But they look at you like you're, such a freak, Whoa, whoa, no,

C
Well, you're only sixteen, with a, lot to say,

C                                         Dm          C
But they won't give you the, time of day, Whoa, whoa, no,

C
You're only sixteen! (You're only sixteen!)

C
You're only sixteen! (You're only sixteen!)

Dm
You're only sixteen! (You're only sixteen!)

C                        C (fade out)
You poor little thing....
