Lyrics

You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors.

It’s the morn (Em7)in’ of your ver y first day.

You say (Gsus2)“hi” to your friends you ain’t (Csus2)seen in a while, try and stay (Em7)out of ev ’ry bod y’s way.

It’s your fresh man year and you’re (Csus2)gon na be here for the next four years in this town.

Hop in’ one of those sen ior boys

will (Csus2)wink at you and say, “You know, I (Em7)have n’t seen you a round

be fore.”

’Cause when you’re fif teen and some bod y tells you they love you, you’re gon na be lieve them.

And when you’re fif teen, feel in’ like there’s noth in’ to fig ure out,

well, count to ten, take it in.

This is life be fore you (G)know who you’re gon na be.

Fif teen.

You sit in class next to a red head named Ab i gail and soon (Em7)e nough you’re best friends,

(G)laugh in’ at the oth er girls who (C)think they’re so cool.

We’ll be out (Em7)ta here as soon as we can.

And (G)then you’re on your ver y first date, and he’s got a car, and you’re feel in’ like fly

in’.

And your (G)ma ma’s wait in’ up, and you’re (Csus2)think in’ he’s the one, and you’re danc (Em7)in’ ’round your room when the night ends,

when the night ends.

’Cause when you’re

but I did n’t (D)know it at fif teen.

When all you want ed was to be want ed, wish you could go back and (G)tell your self what (D)you know now.

Back then I swore I was gon na (Csus2)mar ry him some day, but I (Em7)re al ized some big ger dreams of mine.

And (G)Ab i gail gave ev ’ry thing she had to a boy

who changed his mind.

And we both (C)cried.

’Cause when you’re

fif teen and some bod y tells you they love you, you’re gon na be lieve them.

And when you’re

(G)fif teen, don’t for get to look be fore you fall.

I’ve found time can heal most an y thing, and you just might (G)find who you’re sup (D)posed to be.

I did n’t (Em7)know who I was (D)s’posed to be

at fif teen.

La la la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la la.

La la la la la la your ver y first

day.

Take a deep breath, girl.

Take a deep breath as you walk through the (Csus2)doors.
