Chords

[Verse 1]
   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                                       E
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

        E
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

                                           A

[Verse 2]
   A 
My mother said don't forget where you come from, where you've been

D
Always keep your closest friends they can't slip away

              F#m
They keep you grounded
Oh keep yourself surrounded with good advice
    D
And yeah I guess that sounded nice when I was ten

       A
Oh but never were there truer words
And I'll my days I've ever heard
    D
And when she told me little girl the answer is love

             F#m
So those are words that I keep with me
Though the seasons change so quickly
          D
Keep them buried in my heart
And never fought [Chorus]
            A
So hear me scream

                                      D
I was too young to understand what it means

                                    F#m

                                               D
I thought he lied when he said take my time to breathe

                                           A
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen

         D

                                                              Bm
See I was racing and waiting for the day that I would be old enough

                                                                    A

[Chorus]
                                      D
