A   C#m Bm A      C#m Bm
Sweet 18,  always trying
Sweet 16, always trying
To be something

A        C#m    Bm
Paint a picture on the wall
You like puppy dogs
You get bored of me
How I'm so naive
So naive

I won't be another girl
You kissed
Just a girl
You wish you hadn't missed
Hadn't missed

I'm almost 17
Maybe then I'll know what you mean
I still don't want you
To speak to me
