INTRO: Gm Bb Gm Bb
VERSE ONE:
Bb Gm
I know what you wanna say
Bb Gm
I think that you're all the same
Bb Gm
Constantly being led astray
Bb Gm
You think you know something you don't
CHORUS ONE:
Bb Gm F
Downtown hotspot halfway up the street
Eb Bb
I used to be free, I used to be seventeen
Bb Gm F
Follow my shadow around your corner
Eb
I used to be seventeen, now you're just like me
VERSE TWO:
Bb Gm
Down beneath the ashes and the stone
Bb Gm
Sure of what I've lived and have known
Bb Gm
I see you so uncomfortably alone
Bb Gm
I wish I could show you how much you've grown
CHORUS TWO:
Bb Gm F
Downtown hotspot used to be on this street
Eb Bb
I used to be seventeen, I used to be seventeen
Bb Gm F
Now you're a hotshot hanging on my block
Eb Bb
Sun coming up, who's my shadow
POST-CHORUS:
Bb Gm
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
F Eb
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Bb Gm
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
F Eb
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
BRIDGE:
Bb Gm
I know what you're gonna be
Bb Gm
I know that you're gonna be
Bb Gm
You'll crumble it up just to see
Bb Gm
Afraid that you'll be just like me
CHORUS:
Bb Gm F
Downtown hotspot halfway through this life
Eb Bb
I used to feel free, or was it just a dream
Bb Gm F
Now you're a hotshot, think you're so carefree
Eb Bb
But you're just seventeen, so much like me
Bb Gm F
You're just seventeen, you're just seventeen
Eb Bb
Seventeen
