{Verse I}
D A
He was working at the record shop
G
I would kiss him in the parking lot
D A
Tasting like cigarettes and soda pop
G
Seventeen
D A
He would tell me I was beautiful
G
Sneaking in the neighbor's swimming pool
D A
Yeah he taught me how to break the rules
G
Seventeen
{Pre-Chorus}
Bm A
But hey if this isn't long gone
G
When I hear this song it takes me back
D
We were on top of the world
A
Back when I was your girl
G
We were living so wild and free
D
Acting stupid for fun
A
All we needed was love
G
That's the way it's supposed to be
D
Seventeen (seventeen)
{Verse II}
D A
Stealing beers out of the trailer park
G
Flicking lighters just to fight the dark
D A
My favorite place was sitting in his car
G
Seventeen
D A
Laid a blanket on the rooftop
G
That time I knew I want to meet the star
D A
Makes me cold but it kept him hot
G
Seventeen
{Pre-Chorus}
Bm A
But hey if this isn't long gone
G
When I hear this song it takes me back
D
We were on top of the world
A
Back when I was your girl
G
We were living so wild and free
D
Acting stupid for fun
A
All we needed was love
G
That's the way it's supposed to be
D
We were running red lights
A
We were going all night
G
Didn't care about anything
D
Cause we were living our dream
A
We were living like a dream
G
And we were seventeen
(Ohh ohh ohh oh part)
(Bm - A - G)(x2)
D A
I remember what it felt like
G
Just a small town kinda life
D A
If only I could just go back in time
G
Seventeen
D
We were on top of the world
A
Back when I was your girl
G
We were living so wild and free
D
Acting stupid for fun
A
All we needed was love
G
That's the way it's supposed to be
D
We were running red lights
A
We were going all night
G
Didn't care about anything
D
Cause we were living our dream
A
We were living like a dream
G
And we were seventeen
