Verse 1:

G                      Em
I know what you wanna say

G                            Em
I think that you're all the same

G                       Em
Constantly being led astray

G                               Em
He's thinking of something you don't

Chorus:

G             Em
Downtown hotspot

                 D
Halfway up the street

                C
I used to be free

                   G
I used to be seventeen

              Em
Follow my shadow

                D
Around your corner

                   C
I used to be seventeen

                      G
Now you're just like me

Verse 2:

G                                Em
Down beneath the ashes and the stone

G                                  Em
Sure of what I've lived and have known

G                             Em
I see you so uncomfortably alone

G                            Em
I wish I could show you how much you've grown

Chorus:

G            Em
Downtown hotspot

                       D
I used to be on this street

                   C
I used to be seventeen

                   G
I used to be seventeen

                 Em
Now you're a hotshot

                D
Hanging on my block

           C
Sun coming up

                G
Who is my shadow?

Bridge:

G                 Em
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

D                 C
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

G                 Em
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

D                 C
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

Verse 3:

G                          Em
I know what you're gonna be

G                          Em
I know that you're gonna be

G                           Em
You're crumbling up just to see

G                               Em
Afraid that you'll be just like me

Chorus:

G               Em
Downtown hotspot

                         D
Halfway through this life

                   C
I used to feel free

                    G
Was it just a dream?

                    Em
Now you're a hotshot

                        D
Think you're so carefree

                         C
But you're just seventeen

               G
So much like me

                  Em
You're just seventeen

                  D
You're just seventeen

      C
Seventeen
