seventeen

Stealing beers out
of the trailer park
Flicking lighters just
to fight the dark
My favorite place was
sittin' in his car
Seventeen (Seventeen)
We laid a blanket
on the rooftop
That time I knew
I wouldn't make him stop
The nights were cold,
but we kept 'em hot
Seventeen (Seventeen)

hey these days are
long gone that
when I hear that song
it takes me back

I remember what it felt like
G#
Just a small town kind of
    D#
life  If I could only just
    A#           G#
go back in time seventeen

Chorus
