Seventeen

Fine, we’re damaged

Really damaged

But that does not make us wise
A/E
We’re not special, we’re not different

We don’t choose who lives or dies
A/D
Let’s be normal, see bad movies
                          G#
Sneak a beer and watch tv
                  C#/G#
We’ll bake brownies or go bowling
                        E
Don’t you want a life with me?
       D Bm
Can't we be seventeen?
                    C#m  D
That’s all I want to do
                  E   A
If you could let me in
                C#m   A F#m
I could be good with you

People hurt us

Or they vanish
                                  A/E
And you’re right it really blows

But we let go

Take a deep breath
                             A/D
Then go buy some summer clothes

We’ll go camping

Play some poker
                                  G#
Then we’ll eat some chilli fries

Maybe prom night

Maybe dancing
                             E
Don't stop looking in my eyes

Your eyes

              Bm
Can't we be seventeen
                C#m  D
Is that so hard to do?
                  E  A
If you could let me in
                 G#   E
I could be good with you
               Bm
Let us be seventeen
                        C#m D
If we've still got the right

                  E  A
So what’s it gonna be

I wanna be with you

I wanna be with you

I wanna be with you

Tonight

( F  D  C  A )
( G  F  D  A  F#m )

Yeah we’re damaged

Badly damaged
                                  A/E
But your love’s too good to lose

Hold me tighter

Even closer
                                    A/D
I’ll stay if I’m what you choose

Can't we be seventeen?
                  F#m
If I am what you choose

If we've still got the right
                           D
'Cause you’re the one I choose

You’re the one I choose
                      F#m
You’re the one I choose
