C      G      Am      F


[Verse]

  C                 G
Sweet sixteen's a beautiful thing 
         Am
For the small town hopes
     F
And big city dreams
      C                   G
Your diary's filled with getaway plans
     Am
Then he sweeps in
     F
And just like that
      Am                            G
You're rewriting your story for him
                                       D
All your wishes are gone with the wind
                                           F
Well if you think that he's all that there is


[Chorus]

                   C
Think outside the boy
                      G
Look right past his charm
                  Am
He's not your definition
                    F
No he ain't who you are
                       C
If you don't love yourself
                     Em
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 
     Am
That he was my forever
       F
He was all I'd ever need
       C
But I gave up what I wanted
     G
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
                                           D
To cut the strings and take back your fate
                                       F
You'll find yourself again along the way, just


[Chorus]

                   C
Think outside the boy
                      G
Look right past his charm
                  Am
He's not your definition
                    F
No he ain't who you are
                       C
If you don't love yourself
                     Em
He sure ain't gonna help
                         Am               G                F
There's so much more to life than living like his wind-up toy


[Bridge]

              G
Oh, when the right one comes along
Am
He won't make you choose
          F
When the right one comes along
       Dm
He'll love that you 


[Chorus]

                   C    G
Think outside the boy, oh
                   Am    F
Think outside the boy
                       C
If you don't love yourself
                     Em
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
