Intro: D  A  G  G
      (D  A  G  G)

[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

[Chorus]

                      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

[Chorus]

                      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
