Verse 1
(C major) I learned the truth at seven (A minor) teen
(C major) That (D minor) love was meant
for beauty queens (G major)
And high school girls with clear
skinned smiles (C major)
Who married young and (A minor) then retired (C major)
Verse 2
(C major)
The valentines I never knew
The Friday (D minor) night charades of youth (G major)
Were spent on one more
beautiful (C major)
At seventeen, I learned the truth

Verse 3
And those (C minor) of us with
ravaged faces (D minor)
Lacking in the so (G major) cial graces
(C minor) Desperately (F minor) remained at home
In (C minor) venting lover (F minor) s on the phone
Who called to say,
"Come dance (G major) with me" (C minor)
And murmured vague (F minor) obscenities
(D minor) It isn't all it seems (G major) at seventeen
Verse 4
A (C major) brown eyed girl in hand
me downs (D minor)
Whose name I never could pronounce
(G major) Said, "Pity, please,
the ones who serve (C major)
They only get what they deserve"
The rich relationed hometown queen
Who (D minor) marries into what she needs
With a guar (G major) antee of company (C major)
Verse 5
And haven for the elderly
(C major)
So remember (C minor) those who win the game
(D minor) Lose the love they sought (G major) to gain
In (C minor) debentures (F minor) of quality
And (C minor) dubious (F minor) integrity
The small town eyes will gape (G major) at you (C minor)
In dull sur (F minor) prise when
payment due (D minor)
Exceeds accounts received (G major)
Interlude 1

(G major) (C minor) (D minor) (G major) (C minor) (F minor) (G major)
Verse 6
And to those (C major) of us who knew the pain (D minor)
Of valentines that never came (G major)
And those whose names
were never called (C major)
When choosing sides for basketball
It was long ago and far away
(D minor) The world was younger than today (G major)
When dreams were all they gave for free (C major)
To ugly ducking girls like me
Verse 7
We all (C minor) play the game and
when we dare
We cheat (D minor) ourselves at solitaire (G major)
In (C minor) venting lover (F minor) s on the phone
Re (C minor) penting oth (F minor) er lives unknown
And I call and say,
"Come dance (G major) with me" (C minor)
And murmur vague (F minor) obscenities
(D minor) At ugly girls like me (G major) at seventeen
