I'll do anything for my sweet sixteen 
  
and I'll do anything for little runaway child 
                       F                       Am7 
Gave my heart an engagement ring, she took everything

everything I gave her, oh sweet sixteen

Built a moon for a rocking chair, I never guessed it would 
G 
rock her far from here, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
