Intro:

G

Verse 1:
G
Seventeen stuffed teddy bears
    Em
Lay on a cold gravestone
C                                   G
One for every year that you've been gone
Am                             Em
Just to say I love you and I'm thinking of you still
C              Dsus4
  And I always will

Break:
D

Verse 2:
G
Seventeen red roses
       Em
Placed in a heart shaped face
C                                    G
Tattered, torn, and broken just like mine
Am                                Em
Even though the tears are flowing gently down my face
C            Dsus4
I'll be just fine

Break:
D

Chorus:

C
I wish I could've known you even for a little while
G
But that's not the way the world had planned
B7                               Em
I just have to close my eyes and see an angel's smile
A7                               D
One day that might help me understand
    G      C
Why unlike sand
 Am               D                    G
Angel dust won't slip right through my hand

Verse 3:
G
Seventeen bright candles
Em
Left lighting in your name
C                          G
All beside each other in a row
Am                      Em
Broken hearted memories flicker in each flame
C                        Dsus4
   And through the afterglow

Break:
D

Chorus:

C
I wish I could've known you even for a little while
G
But that's not the way the world had planned
B7                               Em
I just have to close my eyes and see an angel's smile
A7                              D
One day that might help me understand
    G      C
Why unlike sand
 Am               D                    G
Angel dust won't slip right through my hand

Gadd9, F# walkdown

Em                          C
Now it's time for me to say goodbye
G                                        D
I'm sorry that my tears dropped on your stone
Em                             C
Seventeen times I tried not to cry
Am                            Dsus4
But I hate to leave you here alone

Break:
D

C
I wish I could've held you even for a little while

But that's not the way the world had planned

I just have to close my eyes and see an angel's smile
A7                              D
One day that might help me understand
     G     C
Why unlike sand
 Am               D                    Em    A
Angel dust won't slip right through my hand
            Am
Why unlike sand
D                                      G
Angel dust won't slip right through my hand
