C
   Times have changed,
F
   In many ways,
G                      C
   And seventeen ain't young.
C
   Let's forget,
F
   By-gone days,
G                         C
   'Cause seventeen ain't young.

G
Seventeen ain't young, no more,
C
Not like it was, once before,
G
It's old enough to know how you feel,
C
Old enough to know when love is real,
D
And I know what I feel inside, girl,
D                            G
I know it's right I be with you.

C
   It may be,
F
   That love is blind,
G                      C
   For seventeen ain't young.
C
   You and me,
F
   won't change their mind,
G                         C
   'Cause seventeen ain't young.

G
Now-a-days you gotta grow up fast,
C
We're old enough to be in love at last,
G
I'm only happy when I'm with you,
C
I couldn't wait another year or two,
D
So don't you worry, and don't you cry, girl,
D                                   G
Everything's gonna work out fine, you'll see.

C
   Yes, it will,
F
   Wait and see,
G                  C
   Seventeen ain't young.
C
   Take my hand,
F
   And trust me,
G                         C
   'Cause seventeen ain't young.
        G               C
Oh, no, seventeen ain't young.
G                  C
   Seventeen ain't young.
      G               C
Baby, seventeen ain't young.
