*VERSE
G                                C
 You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors
            Em                       C
 Its the morning of your very first day
         G                            C
 You say hi to your friends you ain’t seen in a while
              Em                  C
 Try and stay out of everybody’s way
G                                   C
 It's your freshman year and you're gonna be here
             Em                 C
 For the next four years in this town
                    G                 C
 Hoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say
            Em                     C        C
 You know I haven't seen you around, before


*CHORUS
                   G
 'Cause when you're fifteen and 
Em                        D
 Somebody tells you they love you
                 C
 You're gonna believe them
                G
 And when you're fifteen
   D/F#                Em                C
 Feeling like there's nothing to figure out
     Em                     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

*BRIDGE
G  C  Em  C 


*VERSE
G                            C
 You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail
         Em                         C    C  G  Em  C
 And soon enough you're best friends
G                                C
 Laughing at the other girls who think they're so cool
          Em                           C
 We'll be out of here as soon as we can
     G                               C            
 And then you're on your very first date
                Em                            C
 And he's got a car and you're feeling like flying
            G                             C 
 And you're momma's waiting up and you're thinking he's the one
              Em                             C
 And you're dancing round your room when the night ends
          C
 When the night ends

*CHORUS
                   G
 'Cause when you're fifteen and 
Em                        D
 Somebody tells you they love you
                 C
 You're gonna believe them
                G
 And when you're fifteen
  D/F#                Em                    C
 And your first kiss makes your head spin 'round
    Em                            D
 But in your life you'll do things greater than
            G           D/F#     C
 Dating the boy on the football team
             D
 But I didnt know it at fifteen


*SOLO
G  C  Em  (C—D Slip bar in 2 beats)


*BRIDGE
C             Em               D
 When all you wanted was to be wanted
                            G     -2 beats-        D/F#      C    D
 Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now


*VERSE
G                              C
 Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday
       Em                             C
 But I realized some bigger dreams of mine
     G                 C                  Em
 And Abigail gave everything she had to a boy 
                 C                C
 Who changed his mind and we both cried


*CHORUS 
                  G
 'Cause when you're fifteen and 
 Em                        D
 Somebody tells you they love you
                 C
 You're gonna believe them
                G
 And when you're fifteen
  D/F#            Em              C
 Don't forget to look before you fall
Em                            D
 I've found time can heal most anything
                    G                  D/F#     C  D
 And you just might find who you're supposed to be
          Em             D/F#        C
 I didn't know who I was supposed to be
D
 At fifteen


*END
G  C    Em   C 
         La la la la la 
G  C     Em
 La la la la la
C           G       C                    
 Your very first day, take a deep breath girl
Em                          C (HOLD IT)
 Take a deep breath as you walk through the doors
