G                               C
You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors
Em7                                 C
Its the morning of your very first day
         G                           C
You say hi to your friends you aint seen in a while
             Em7                  C
Try and stay out of everybodys way

It's your freshman year and you're gonna be here
For the next four years in this town
Hoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say
You know I haven't seen you around, before

Chorus:
               G
'Cause when you're fifteen and
Em7                      D
Somebody tells you they love you
                C
You're gonna believe them
G
And when you're fifteen
 D/F#                 Em7              C
Feeling like there's nothing to figure out
Em7                        D
Well count to ten, take it in
                          G             D/F#   C
This is life before you know who you're gonna be
D
At fifteen

You sit in class next to a redhead named abigail
And soon enough, you're best friends
Laughin' at the other girls who think they're so cool
We'll be outta here as soon as we can

And then you're on your very first date and he's got a car
And you're feelin' like flyin'
And your mama's waitin'
up and you're thinkin' he's the one
And you're dancin' 'round your room when the night ends
When the night ends

Chorus:
'Cause when you're fifteen and
somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen and your first kiss
Makes your head spin 'round
But in your life you'll do things greater than
Dating the boy on the football team
But I didn't know it at fifteen

C            Em7               D
When all you wanted was to be wanted
                            G
Wish you could go back and tell
              D/F#      C D
yourself what you know now
 G                             C
Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday
       Em7                            C
But I realized some bigger dreams of mine
    G                   C                Em7
And abigail gave everything she had to a boy
                 C
Who changed his mind and we both cried

Chorus:
'Cause when you're fifteen and
somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen,
don't forget to look before you fall
I've found time can heal most anything
And you just might find who you're supposed to be
I didn't know who I was supposed to be
At fifteen

G C Em7 C
La la la la la
G C Em7
La la la la la
C                G   C
Your very first day, take a deep breath girl
Em7                        C
Take a deep breath as you walk through the doors
