Seventeen chords by Mat Kearney
Verse 1
G
I was only seventeen
D
Livin' out a reckless dream
C
Ridin' those summer streets
G
To the corner of high and thirteen
Me and other VD boys
D
Runnin' too wild too bored
C
Lookin' for the grown man's toys
G
Out at that corner store
C
G
Well they threw the money to me
C
and somebody's ID
G
D
Verse 2
G
Am
I was in the parking lot scared as hell
C
Sent the sixteen dollars
G
down a wishing well
Two bottles of wine those
Am
red and blue lights
C
Took a trip down town for
G
the very first time
C
G
C
Watching my whole life flash
G
D
before my eyes
C
Like I was seventeen

Verse 3
She was from across the tracks
D
With a private school laugh

We were both falling too fast

Down a river that wouldn't last
C

It was only one night and our first time
Verse 4
G
Am
I was in the parking lot scared as hell
C

Sending sixteen dollars down the wishing well
I held her tight between

those yellow lines

We sat there crying 'bout

a miscarried life

Watching my whole life flash
G
D
before my eyes
G
C
Like I was seventeen
Verse 5
Em
Oh it was a lifetime ago
C
And I prayed for mercy
G
Walking on down that road
D
I led the woman of my dreams
And she said yes to me
C
G
And she's sayin', "Baby I'm late,
C
G
I'm never this late.
C
G
I'm feeling a change,
D
we should find out either way."
C
G
And I'm grabbing my keys
C
G
and I'm shutting the front door
C
G
I can hardly breathe driving
D
that familiar road
C
And I'm parked between
G
those yellow lines
C
G
Lookin' down that aisle
C
G
Don't know whether to laugh
D
or whether to cry

Am
I was in the parking lot scared as hell
C
Sending sixteen dollars down
D

G
the wishing well
Am
Two pink lines, or maybe just one

Could by my daughter or it

could be my son

Watching our whole lives

flash before my eyes
C
G
Like I was seventeen

Funny how the years switch

around the tears that way

Like I was seventeen
