[Verse 1]
G                    G
Do you remember when we moved out?
   Em                         Em
My mum said, "I love you, but it's a small house"
      G
So we changed up and saved up
     G
Gave up our town
        Em
We were dangerous, couldn't tame us
       Em
What's missing now?
G           G            Em
Time, suddenly we got no time
         Em         G
We're so busy doing life
       G                 Em     Em
That I miss your eyes on mine, mine
 
[Pre-Chorus]
   G                   Am
If you just focus on me
                  C
Like we were sixteen
                   D
And plotting our lives
      G
Can I wear your t-shirt
       Am
And sleep on you
          C                    D
While I dream of all the good times?
 
[Chorus]
                    C  Em  G  D  C  Em
When we were sixteen
G     D              C  Em  G  D  C  Em
 Like we were sixteen
G     D
 Like we were sixteen
 
[Verse 2]
G                   G
Do you remember the teacher said
       Em                          Em
You're too young, too stupid, don't lose your head
    G                                  G
But years gone and we held on with the best intent
     Em                     N.C.
Just two kids who kicked it on MSN
G           G            Em
Time, suddenly we got no time
         Em         G
We're so busy doing life
       G                 Em     Em
That I miss your eyes on mine, mine
 
[Pre-Chorus]
   G                   Am
If you just focus on me
                  C
Like we were sixteen
                   D
And plotting our lives (When we were plotting our lives)
      G
Can I wear your t-shirt
       Am
And sleep on you
          C                    D
While I dream of all the good times?
 
[Chorus]
                    C  Em  G  D  C  Em
When we were sixteen
G     D              C  Em  G  D  C  Em
 Like we were sixteen
G     D
 Like we were sixteen
 
[Bridge]
Em                              G
 Let's take the love that we found
                         D
And give it back to ourselves
 
Sometimes these things don't work out
D
 Sometimes there'll be no one else
Am                         G
 They said we'd never even make it this far
             D
But here we are
                D
We're still counting stars
 
Like we were sixteen
 
[Chorus]
                 C  Em  G  D  C  Em
Like we were sixteen
G         D           C  Em  G  D  C
 Oh, when we were sixteen
Em              G               D             C  Em  G  D  C
We're still counting stars like we were sixteen
Em              G               D
We're still counting stars like we were sixteen
