Verse 1:

G+G           E minorEm
I know what you wanna say

G+G              E minorEm
I think that you're all the same

He's thinking of something you don't

Downtown hotspot

I used to be seventeen

Follow my shadow

Around your corner

I used to be seventeen

Now you're just like me

Down beneath the ashes and the stone

Sure of what I've lived and have known

G+G               E minorEm
I see you so uncomfortably alone

I used to be seventeen

         E minorEm
Now you're a hotshot

Hanging on my block

Sun coming up

Who is my shadow?
