Sixteen Going On Seventeen

  
            G                    C               Am     D           G 
    You wait, little girl, on an empty stage, for fate to turn the light on. 
                                    C           Am          D          G 
    Your life, little girl, is an empty page that men will want to write on. 
            Am          - D 
    To write on... 
  
      G           D                              G            E 
1. You are sixteen going on seventeen, baby, it's time to think, 
    Am   G                           C                Am        D     - D7 
    better beware, be canny and careful, baby, you're on the brink    
G                       D                              G                         E 
    You are sixteen going on seventeen, fellows will fall in line, 
    Am                                G                          Am             D            G 
    eager young lads and roues and cads will offer you food and wine. 
      C                 Am                      G         G7          C 
    Totally unprepared are you to face a world of men, 
     C                            Am                       G           D              A   - D7 
    timid and shy and scared are you of things beyond your ken. 
       G                             D                       G                            D  - D7 
    You'll need someone older and wiser telling you what to do, 
   G                         D                          Am         D         G      - D 
    I am seventeen going on eighteen, I'll take care of you ! 
  
   G                     D                            G                   E 
2. I am sixteen going seventeen I know that I'm naïve, 
    Am                          G                                  C       Am  D     - D7 
    fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet, and willingly I believe. 
G                       D                         G                    E 
    I am sixteen going seventeen, innocent as a rose. 
    Am                          G                                Am           D          G 
    bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies, what do I know of those ? 
      C                 Am                 G         G7         C 
    Totally unprepared am I to face a world of men, 
    C                            Am                    G          D            A   - D7 
    timid and shy and scared am I of things beyond my ken. 
   G                          D                       G                           D  - D7 
    I need someone older and wiser, telling me what to do, 
      G                            D                        Am     D            G      
    you are seventeen going on eighteen I'll depend on you!
