Am7
I'll do anything
For my sweet sixteen
And I'll do anything
For little runaway child

                       F
Gave my heart an engagement ring,
          Am7
she took everything
              G                        Am7
everything I gave her, oh sweet sixteen
                    F
Built a moon for a rocking chair,
I never guessed it would
 G
rock her far from here, oh, oh, oh, oh oh

Chorus:
 F                 G                   Am
Someone's built a candy castle for my sweet sixteen
 F                 G               Am
Someone's built a candy brain and filled it in
                Am7
Well, I'll do anything for my sweet sixteen
oh I'll do anything for little runaway child

Well, memories will burn you
Memories grow older as people can
They just get colder
Like sweet sixteen
Oh, I see it's clear
Baby, that you are
All through here
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy house
To house her in
Oh oh, someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy brain
And filled it in

Chorus - x2

And I do anything
For my sweet sixteen
Oh, I do anything
For little runaway girl

F C G
    Yeah, sad and lonely and blue
F C G
   gettin' over you
F    C             G
 how, how do you think it feels, yeah
F C    G
   To get up in the morning, get over you,
up in the morning, get over you
Wipe away the tears, get over you
get over, get over

My sweet sixteen
Oh, runaway child
Oh, sweet sixteen
Little runaway girl

Gave my heart an engagement ring
She left everything
Everything I gave her
Oh, sweet sixteen
Built a moon
For a rocking chair
I never guessed it would
Rock her far from here
Oh, oh, oh

Chorus
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy house
To house her in
Oh, someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy house
To house her in

And I'll do anything
For my sweet sixteen
Oh, I'll do anything
For this little runaway child
Do anything
For sweet sixteen
I'll do anything
For little runaway girl
Little runaway girl
Oh, sweet sixteen
Oh, sweet sixteen
Oh
