[Verse 1]
G C D Em
I returned to my home town yesterday
C G D
and my life before my eyes came flashing back
G C D Em
Everything was changed and the faces look so strange
C G D
sometimes I wish that I was young again
[Chorus]
Em C G D
And if I close my eyes think on back to happy times
Em C G D
I could be 16 years old for awhile
Em C G D
Honest friendships, high school dances innocence short romances
Em C G D
Life was simple but it sure was good somehow
[Verse 2]
G C D Em
Then we drove to an old beach last night
C G D
a place we used to go not long ago
G C D Em
Walking barefoot in the sand I saw to people holding hands
C G D
Falling in love for their first time
[Chorus]
Em C G D
And if I close my eyes think on back to happy times
Em C G D
I could be 16 years old for awhile
Em C G D
Honest friendships, high school dances innocence short romances
Em C G D
Life was simple but it sure was good somehow
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
G C D Em
Now I'm older I guess a little wiser
C G D
experience is added to my name
G C D Em
But I can't help but feel that I traded apart
C G D
Who I am along the way
[Chorus]
Em C G D
And if I close my eyes think on back to happy times
Em C G D
I could be 16 years old for awhile
Em C G D
Honest friendships, high school dances innocence short romances
Em C G D
Life was simple but it sure was good somehow
Em C G D
And if I close my eyes think on back to happy times
Em C G D
I could be 16 years old for awhile
Em C G D
Honest friendships, high school dances innocence short romances
Em C G D
Life was simple but it sure was good somehow
Em C G D Em
Life was simple but it sure was good somehow
