A My daddy says that life comes at you fast We all like blades of grass D We come to prime and in time we just wither away F#m And it all changes My view with a looking glass won’t catch the past D Only photographs remind us of the passing of days A Oh nothing stays the same from yesteryears D See I recall being afraid of the dark And holding on to teddy bears F#m I’d wrap myself in blankets just to cover me from fears D That was then and now I’m here And the night is mine Chorus: A So hear me scream D I was too young to understand what it means F#m I couldn’t wait til I could be seventeen D I thought he lied when he said take my time to dream A Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen D I’m Seventeen F#m Seventeen D Seventeen A Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen My mother said don’t forget where you come from, where you’ve been Always keep your closest friends they can't slip away They keep you grounded Oh keep yourself surrounded with good advice And yeah I guess that sounded nice when I was ten Oh but never were there truer words In all my days I’ve ever heard And when she told me little girl the answer is love So those are words that I keep with me Though the seasons change so quickly Keep them buried in my heart And never fought Chorus: So hear me scream I was too young to understand what it means I couldn’t wait til I could be seventeen I thought she lied when she said take my time and breathe Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh I’m Seventeen Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh Seventeen Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh Seventeen Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen A D I been goin on, I been growin up F#m I’m a know it all, I don’t know enough Bm See I was racing and waiting for the day that I would be old enough A Guess I’ll be patient and pace myself gotta prepare for when goings rough Chorus: I was too young to understand what it means I couldn’t wait til I could be seventeen I thought she lied when she said "take your time to breathe" Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh I’m Seventeen Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh Seventeen Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh Seventeen Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA  D  F#m  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
