Lyrics

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

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

You say (G)hi to your friends you ain’t (C)seen in a while, try and stay (Em)out of ev ’ry bod y’s way.

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

Hop in’ one of those sen ior boys

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

be fore.”

’Cause when you’re

fif teen (Em)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.

You’re fif teen.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with four essential chords in the key of G — you'll cycle through G, C, Em, and D, which form the backbone of countless songs, so every minute you spend here pays off later.

Your left hand plays a block bass pattern, meaning you'll plant chord tones together rather than rolling or arpeggating them, so focus on landing each chord cleanly and in time.

At 92 BPM the tempo is conversational, not rushed, but watch the transition from C to D — your fingers need to shift position quickly, so isolate that change and loop it slowly until it feels automatic.

Try hands separate first: get your right hand melody smooth, then add the left hand at half speed before bringing it up to tempo.

The Em to G move is your easiest swap since they share the B note, so use that as your anchor finger.

Once this feels steady, you'll have a rock-solid I–IV–V–vi foundation that transfers to dozens of other country and pop tunes.

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "Fifteen" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in G, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Fifteen" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
