G         Bm          Am     D
Bring me back, to an hour ago
G            Bm          Am         D
Time stands still as the years go by
G          Bm             Am            D                G
Brown eyed girl that's throwing down a bottle of old english
Bm           Am       D
Back in the warehouse..

Chorus:
C               G         Bm            Em
  Old days are fine, but left so far behind.
C           D         G         C G
  From California to Jane Street
C             G        Bm                    C D
  The Kids alright, alright as they'll ever be
C              D
  Cause you'll always be my..
C             D
  Well you'll always be my..
C                  D           G D
  You will always be my sweet 16

Sleep on the floor on cardboard
Stab out my heart like a dartboard
Brown-skinned girl
That I dream about a long, long time, now
From the midwest to the beach

Chorus

Say wha?
