sixteen months just wasn't long enough 
               G
to change your mind
C                G             Fmaj7      G
but I'm sure you knew that all along
C              G  
I was much too young
             Fmaj7         G 
and you were much too far away to think
     C              G                 Fmaj7   G   
that I might think about you when you're gone

C            Am       C              Am  
what did you wear how steep was your climb
C            Am           D              Fmaj7 
what did you have in your pockets at the time
    C           Am       C            Am 
how long did it take how much did you care
     C           Am              D                Fmaj7 
what side of the street did they find you waiting there

sixteen months leaves little to remember even though
           C              G                 Fmaj7  G
I have the photographs to prove that you were there
C              G               Fmaj7                 G
now and then I think about the way you might have been
          C                 G             Fmaj7   G
but other times I'm just so angry I don't care

C            Am      C           Am 
what did you say and who did you tell
C                 Am
what could I have done
                D                  Fmaj7 
that might have saved you from yourself
C          Am       C                      Am     C  
how did it feel and what went through your mind
              Am              D                 Fmaj7   
what did they do with all the things you left behind
