Cheers To The Teenage Years Uke tab by Jacqueline Zegler

C

There's a voice in my mind

Am

That's always asking why

F

I stay up late writing songs

G7

About things that go wrong

C

Or rather things that never go right

C

But then you come along

Am

Hit me by surprise

F

You said "Baby come on"

G7

I could see it in your eyes

C            C7

This boy could change my life

C7      Am

I watched the sunrise

F

Through these Orlando eyes

Dm

I need you here with me

Dm7

I could feel my heart beat

C

It was the very first time

C

Your hand was interlocked with mine

Am

Through the dimming Jersey sunshine

F

Tonight's your last here at home

G7

Why do ya gotta go

C

It kills every time

C7

And when you told me you loved me

F

I relive it every night

Dm

The scent of it stings my nose

Dm7

Lingers in my clothes

C

I can't leave it behind

C

Call me young and stupid

F

For thinking this will last forever

G7                                         Am

For thinking we're immune to the hands of time

F

I don't know why

Gm7

Cuz you're gonna leave soon

Am

That's just growing up too

F

But through the doubts and the fears

G7

Know I'll always be here

C

Cheers to the teenage years


C

But I knew I love you

F

You were the first one, I'll admit

G7

And no matter where we go

Am

Together or alone

F

You were the best thing I've ever known

Gm7

And wherever you roam

Am

Don't forget you have a home

F              G7

I'll always be here (up the scale)

C

Cheers to the teenage years

C  C7  Am  F  F/C  C
