Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↓↑-↓↑

[Gm]16, lot on her mind, [Eb]gotta few friends, left the rest behind But [Bb]guess that’s just what happens, people [F]change, [Gm]stressed out but is always “fine” They be [Eb]asking, but she can’t describe, maybe, [Bb]they’re right, it’ll all be fixed with [F]age

[Gm]Hate that you’ve been [Eb]saying I’m [Bb]dramatic [F] Immature [Gm]because I [Eb]just don’t wanna [Bb]talk [F] You ever [Gm]think that you might [Eb]be over[Bb]reacting? [F] Promise I’m [Gm]thinking, over[Eb]thinking quite a [Bb]lot

They say we’re [Gm]crazy and [Eb]useless, [Bb]making stupid [F]excuses To [Gm]go make bad [Eb]decisions when we’re [Bb]hurt [F] And we’re not [Gm]crazy [Eb]romantics but we [Bb]still know what a [F]heart is And [Gm]know that when it’s [Eb]cracked it really [Bb]burns [F]

Oh we know [Gm]more than what we [Eb]tell you, but [Bb]can’t always put into [F]words And we don’t [Gm]cry because we [Eb]want to, but you’ll [Bb]assume it’s because She’s [F]another 16 year old [Gm]girl [Eb] [F]

[Gm]High school’s been a terrifying one, [Eb]she thinks she won’t ever [Gm]find someone [Bb]To build her back when she’s in pieces [F]and pieces again, [Gm]let’s not forget about all the [Eb]One’s who go and run their mouths just to [Bb]stay relevant and not miss out [F]

[Gm]Hate that you’ve been [Eb]saying I’m [Bb]dramatic [F] Immature [Gm]because I [Eb]just don’t wanna [Bb]talk [F] You ever [Gm]think that you might [Eb]be over[Bb]reacting? [F] Promise I’m [Gm]thinking, over[Eb]thinking quite a [Bb]lot
