[Verse]
G 
I think I've been telling lies, 
C                             G 
cause I've never been in love 
Em                      G                            G              D         C 
Everyone falls for the sunshine disguise, distracted by who they're thinking of 
[Verse]
C                      G 
I'd rather date an idea 
C                        G 
Something I'll never find 
           Em 
Sure, I'll live in the moment, but I'm never happy here 
      G            D               C 
I'm surrounded by greener looking times
[Chorus]
   C                     D 
Am I the only one wishing life away? 
      Em                           G 
Never caught up in the moment busy begging the past to stay 
F                    D# 
Memories painted with much brighter ink 
                            G 
They tell me I loved, teach me how to think
[Verse]
C                     G 
I'll take what I can get 
C                            G 
'Cause I'm too damp for a spark 
        C 
Kissing sickly sweet guys 'cause they say they like my eyes 
        G             D           C 
but I'd only ever see them in the dark
[Verse]
Em                              G 
I'm sick of faking diary entries 
       C            G          D                C 
Got to get it in my head; I'll never be sixteen again 
    C                  Em               G 
I'm waiting to live, and waiting to love 
            C              D                C 
Oh it'll be over, and I'll still be asking when
[Chorus]
C                        D 
Am I the only one wishing life away? 
      Em                           G 
Never caught up in the moment busy begging the past to stay 
F                    D# 
Memories painted with much brighter ink 
                            G 
They tell me I loved, teach me how to think

[Verse]
Em                              G 
I'm sick of faking diary entries

Got to get it in my head; I'll never be sixteen again
