sixteen months just wasn't long enough 
               G
to change your mind
C                G             Cm       G
but I'm sure you knew that all along
C              G  
I was much too young
             Cm            G 
and you were much too far away to think
     C              G                 Cm     G   
that I might think about you when you're gone

C            Am       C              Am  
what did you wear how steep was your climb
C            Am           D              Cm
what did you have in your pockets at the time
    C           Am       C            Am 
how long did it take how much did you care
     C           Am              D                Cm
what side of the street did they find you waiting there

sixteen months leaves little to remember even though
           C              G                 Cm      G
I have the photographs to prove that you were there
C              G               Cm                 G
now and then I think about the way you might have been
          C                 G             Cm    G
but other times I'm just so angry I don't care

C            Am      C           Am 
what did you say and who did you tell
C                 Am
what could I have done
                D                  Cm
that might have saved you from yourself
C          Am       C                      Am     C  
how did it feel and what went through your mind
              Am              D                 Cm  
what did they do with all the things you left behind
