To this day when I hear that song, I see you standing there on that lawn

 G                               Bm                A
Discount shades, store bought tan, flip-flops and cut-off jeans

 D
Somewhere between that setting sun, I'm On Fire and Born To Run

      G                       Bm                       A
You looked at me and I was done but we were just getting started

D
I was singing to you, you were singing to me, I was so alive; never been more free

G                                       Bm    A
Fired up my daddy's lighter and we sang oh

Stayed there till the forced us out, we took the long way to your house

G                                  Bm            A
 I can still hear the sound of you saying don't go
[Chorus]
D                      A
 When I think about you I think about 17

Bm                        G
 I think about my old Jeep I think about the stars in the sky

Bm                 A
 Funny how a melody sounds like a memory

D                        G             Em   A     D          G     Bm A

D
I bumped in to you by happenstance you probably wouldn't even know who I am

        G                                    Bm          A
But if I whispered your name, I bet there'd still be a spark

D
From back when I was gasoline and this old tattoo had brand new ink

      G                                                  Bm             A
And we didn't care what your mom would think 'bout your name on my arm

D
Baby is it spring or is it summer the guitar sound or the beat of the drummer

G                                        Bm       A
You hear sometimes late at night on your radio

D
Even though you're a million miles away when you hear Born In The USA

       G                            Bm         A
Do you relive those Glory Days from so long ago
[Chorus]
D                       A
 When you think about me, do you think about 17?

Bm                             G
 Do you think about my old Jeep, think about the stars in the sky?

Bm                 A
 Funny how a melody sounds like a memory

D                        G             Em   A     D            G      Bm A
