Cross Canadian Ragweed – 17 (Guitar)

G                               ***
Sirens wail and a flashing light

G                                   C
Nothing better to do on a Tuesday night

             G*
But give me hell

G                                    ***
Where ya headed, what are you out for

G                                    C
Don't see much of you 'round here anymore

                      G*
I guess it's just as well

D                  C
Once upon a time you had it all

D                  C
You let everybody down

D                    C               G*
You're always seventeen in your hometown.

D                   C                      G
Running from your folks, running from the law

D              C                      G                     D
Running from love, running from your fears, running from it all

C             D
You keep on running, boy

        G           G/F#     Em
You'll run yourself in the ground

C                D                G     *  **
You're always seventeen in your hometown

G                                   ***
Her porch swing still looks the same

G                                    C
She probably won't even remember my name

                             G***
Just like she didn't back then

G                                ***
Is she married, is she doing fine

G                                                  C
Does she known about all the nights I laid awake cryin'

                  G*
Just to know her hand

D                  C
The door opens and I run away

D                       C
Just like the same old clown

D              C                     G*
You're always seventeen in your hometown

D                   C                      G
Running from your folks, running from the law

D              C                      G                     D
Running from love, running from your fears, running from it all

C             D
You keep on running, boy

        G           G/F#     Em
You'll run yourself in the ground

C                D                G     *  **
You're always seventeen in your hometown

G
Nobody is gonna miss me

G                                   C
No tears will fall, no one's gonna weep

                  G
When I hit that road

G                                        G
My boots are broken, my brain is sore

                                           C
From keeping up with their little world

                  G
I've got a heavy load

D                          C
Gonna leave 'em all just like before

D             C
I'm big city bound

D              C                     G*
You're always seventeen in your hometown

D                   C                      G
Running from your folks, running from the law

D              C                      G                     D
Running from love, running from your fears, running from it all

C             D
You keep on running, boy

        G           G/F#     Em
You'll run yourself in the ground

C                D                G     *  **
You're always seventeen in your hometown
