[Intro]

C G Am F

[Verse]

C G

Sweet sixteen's a beautiful thing

For the small town hopes

And big city dreams

C G

Your diary's filled with getaway plans

Then he sweeps in

And just like that

Am G

You're rewriting your story for him

All your wishes are gone with the wind

Well if you think that he's all that there is

[Chorus]

Think outside the boy

Look right past his charm

He's not your definition

No he ain't who you are

If you don't love yourself

He sure ain't gonna help

Am G F

There's so much more to life than living like his wind-up toy

C G

Think outside the boy, ooh

Am F

Think outside the boy

[Verse]

C G

Well I've been there, yeah, I believed

That he was my forever

He was all I'd ever need

But I gave up what I wanted

And I gave him control

Am F

I lost myself in a deep, dark hole

Am G

I'm here to tell ya that it's never too late

To cut the strings and take back your fate

You'll find yourself again along the way, just

[Chorus]

Think outside the boy

Look right past his charm

He's not your definition

No he ain't who you are

If you don't love yourself

He sure ain't gonna help

Am G F

There's so much more to life than living like his wind-up toy

[Bridge]

Oh, when the right one comes along

He won't make you choose

When the right one comes along

He'll love that you

[Chorus]

C G

Think outside the boy, oh

Am F

Think outside the boy

If you don't love yourself

He sure ain't gonna help

Am G F

There's so much more to life than living like his wind-up toy

C G

Think outside the boy, oh

Am F

Think outside the boy

End on F
