G                      Em                
 I know what you wanna say      
 G                            Em
 I think that you're all the same
 G                        Em
 Constantly being led astray 
 G                                   Em
 You think you know something you don't

 Halfway up the street
               C/G
 I used to be free 
                    G
 I used to be seventeen   
             Em 
 Follow my shadow
                 D
 Around your corner 
                   C/G 
 I used to be seventeen 
                     G 
 Now you're just like me 

 G                                 E 
 Down beneath the ashes and the stone 
 G                                 Em 
 Sure of what I've lived and have known
 G                           Em 
 I see you so uncomfortably alone
 G                                         Em
 I wish I could show you how much you've grown

 I used to be on this street 
                   C/G 
 I used to be seventeen 
                     G
 I used to be seventeen 
                 Em 
 Now you're a hotshot 
                 D 
 Hanging on my block
          C/G
 Sun coming up 
              G
 Who's my shadow?

 G                       Em
 I know what you're gonna be
 G                      Em
 I know that you're gonna be 
 G                              Em
 You're crumbling it up just to see
 G                              Em 
 Afraid that you'll be just like me

 Halfway through this life
                C/G
 I used to feel free 
                  G 
 Was it just a dream? 
                  Em 
 Now you're a hotshot
                      D 
 Think you're so carefree
                      C/G 
 But you're just seventeen 
              G
 So much like me 
 
                   Em
 You're just seventeen
