Cm7                G#
I'm not afraid to say it
D#                 A#
From the moment we met I felt it
Cm7             G#
Suddenly I was taken
D#                   A#
Had a feeling it was something different
Cm7      G#            D#       A#
Out underneath those streetlights
Cm7       G#            D#       A#
I fell in deep for the first time
G#       A#                       G#
We were magic in the middle of a dream
  A#
I never want to leave

Chorus:
        Cm7     G#   D#  A#
Take me back to seventeen
       Cm7       G#       D#   A#
Just a taste of what we'd ever be
  Cm7                       G#
I don't know why I can't forget that night
      D#                        A#
'Cause  you ain't even mine but you're
        Cm7      G#     D#
The best   thing   the best thing
           A#
that ever happened to me

You drove back to Austin
And I took that late night flight
But baby if I'm being honest
It's like I never got back to real life
Guess I'm just stuck in the memory
I wonder if you ever miss me yeah
'Cause I keep looking for you in somebody else
I just can't help myself

Chorus:
Take me back to seventeen
Just a taste of what we'd never be
I don't know why I can't forget that night
'Cause you ain't even mine but you're the best thing
The best thing that never happened to me

Take me back to seventeen
Just a taste of what we'd never be
I don't know why I can't forget that night
'Cause you ain't even mine but you're the best thing
The best thing that ever happened to me

The best thing
The best thing that never happened to me
That never happened to me
