(F major) (G major) (Gsus4) (G major) (C major) (Csus4) (C major) (F major) (D minor) (Gsus4) (G major)
(C major) (F major) (C major) (F major)
I (G major) learned
Verse 1
the truth at sev (C major) enteen (F major)
That love was meant (D minor) for
beauty queens (G major)
And high school girls with
Clear skinned smiles (C major)
Who married young (G major) and then re
(F major) tired (G major) (F major) (Gsus4) (F major)
The (C major) valentines I nev (G major) (C major) er knew
The Friday (F major) (D minor) night charades of youth (F major) (G major)
Were spent on those more beautiful (C major)
At (G major) seventeen I learned (C major) (G major)
(C major) the truth (F major) (Gsus4) (F major)
And (C minor) those of us with ravaged
faces (F minor) (D minor)
Lacking in (G major) the social graces (Ddim)
(F minor) Des (C minor) per ately (F minor) remained at home
In (C minor) venting lovers on (F minor) the phone
Who called to say (G major) "Come,
dance with me" (F major)
And mur (E flat major) mured vague (F minor) obscenities (F major)
It isn't all (D minor) it seems (F major) at
(Gsus4) sev (G major) enteen (Gsus4) (G major)
A (C major) brown- eyed girl (G major) in hand
(C major) me downs (F major)
Whose name I never could pronounce
(D minor) Said (C major) (G major) "Pity please (C major) the
(G major) ones who serve (C major)
They only get what (G major) they (C major) de serve" (F major)
(C major) The rich (G major) (C major) relationed hometown queen
Marries (F major) into what (D minor) she (F major) need (C major) s
A guar (G major) an tee (C major) of com (G major) pany
(C major) And haven for the (G major) (C major) elderly
(F major) (C major) (D minor) (Gsus4) (C major) Re
member (E flat major) those who win the game
And (D minor) lose the love they sought (G major) to gain
In (C minor) debentures of quality (F minor)
And (C minor) dubious integrity (F minor)
Their small town (G major) eyes will gape at you (C major)
(C minor) In dull surprise (F minor) when
payments due (D minor)
Exceed accounts received
at seventeen (G major) (Gsus4)
Adlib to (C major) those of us who knew the pain
(F major) Of valentines (D minor) that never came (C major)
And those whose names
were never called (G major) (C major)
When choosing sides
for basketball (F major) (Gsus4)
(F major) It (G major) was long (C major) ago and far (G major) (C major) away
The world (F major) was young (D minor) er than (F major) today (G major)
(C major) And dream (G major) s were all
they gave for free (C major)
To ugly duckling girls (G major) like (A minor) me (C major)
We (G major) all (F major) play (E flat major) the game
and when we dare
To cheat (Ddim) ourselves at solitaire (G major)
In (C minor) venting lovers on (G major) the phone (Gaug)
(G major) Re (E flat major) peating other lives (F major)
unknown (F minor)
Who call to say (G major) "Come
dance with me" (C minor)
And murmur vague (F minor) obscenities (D minor)
At ugly girls like me, at (G major) seventeen
