Am            G                                   F      
Sixteen years - without even a place to call my own, 
 Am                   G                               F               
But I'll dry my tears looking for a place to rest my bones. 
F                 A                                     G 
All these years - but never changed the one that I have known. 
F                 A                                     G 
And despite my fears - I'm sure that I can make it on my own. 

F 
Party drugs and limousines 
G 
Oh, mama, this is killing me. 
F                            G 
I'm half the man I used to be. 
F 
Tequila, lust and gambling 
G 
Oh, mama, I need rescuing. 
F                                G 
What sixteen years has done to me. 

F                                G 

Am            G                                   F  
Sixteen years - burning every bridge that I have known. 
Am            G                                   F  
Without you here, the world has gotten colder on my own.

F                                G 
What sixteen years has done to me.

C 
There's nothing like it - I'm going away. 
C                                              
There's nothing like the feeling - 
A 
Of being alone on a New York street, 
A 
Gives everything some meaning. 
F 
There's nothing like being torn apart - 
G                         
From a love you've known right from the start. 
Em                               F 
There's nothing like this feeling.

It's what sixteen years has done to me.
