Orla Gartland - Sixteen Chords

Capo 5
All chord normal, except B* is just a bass note.

        Am            Em
And she was no beauty queen
           G               D
She was in love at just sixteen
        C   B*        Am              D
with an older boy who hardly knew her name
          Am               Em
She would think of him and say
G                               D 
You will be mine some day
        C   B*   Am          D
But her head was filled with things that could've been
         G
And she was just sixteen

      Am                Em
Her head was filled with fairydust and gold
    D
She never did what she was told
 Am           Em
But she knew what she wanted from a very early age
         D
Didn't care about a job or give a damn about a wage
Am           Em
She just wanted him, and she wanted him for good
          D
She would do whatever it took, whatever she could
Am            Em
And now she can't stop loving him she never meant to start
D
But what else can you expect from a foolish heart

        Am            Em
And she was no beauty queen
           G               D
She was in love at just sixteen
        C   B*        Am              D
with an older boy who hardly knew her name
          Am               Em
She would think of him and say
G                               D 
You will be mine some day
        C   B*   Am          D
But her head was filled with things that could've been
         G
And she was just sixteen

Am    Em
Age is but a number she would say and she'd believe
      D
But four years is way too long to wear your heart on your sleeve
 Am     Em
And she thought maybe it's time to move on, it's been too long romance is gone,
D 
Sung is the song and now this feels all wrong
  Am       Em
And in a world of advice she feels so small
D
Someone better tell this girl it's probably not love at all

        Am            Em
And she was no beauty queen
           G               D
She was in love at just sixteen
        C   B*        Am              D
with an older boy who hardly knew her name
          Am               Em
She would think of him and say
G                               D 
You will be mine some day
        C   B*   Am          D
But her head was filled with things that could've been
         G
And she was just sixteen

Dm  F        C            G
Oh no, here she goes again, here she goes again
Dm        F
And she got what she wanted when he returned her love
C             G
Everything was cosy he fit her like a glove
Dm              F
She always dreamt of things she never had though she knew that it was wrong
C     G
He blinked and she blinked and suddenly thirty years were gone
Gm
They remembered all the times that she

Am            Em
was no beauty queen
           G               D
She was in love at just sixteen
        C   B*        Am              D
with an older boy who hardly knew her name
          Am               Em
She would think of him and say
G                               D 
You will be mine some day
        C   B*   Am          D
But her head was filled with things that could've been
       G
And she was just sixteen
