E             F#m                          A
I got these beliefs that I think you wanna break
E                     F#m                         A
Got something here to lose that I think you wanna take from me
E                 F#m                  A
You say that I'm asleep but I wanna be awake
E                     F#m                        A
Got something here to lose that I know you wanna take


[Pre-Chorus]
            E                     F#m
And he said age is just a number, just like any other
A
We can do whatever, do whatever you want
E
Boy becomes a man now
      F#m
Can't tell a man to slow down
A
He'€™ll just do whatever, do whatever he wants


[Chorus]
E                      F#m
I went out looking for love when I was seventeen
A
Maybe a little too young, but it was real to me
E                             F#m
And in the heat of the night, saw things I'd never seen
A                            E
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, seventeen


[Verse 2]
                F#m                            A
You should know I'm green but I'll find my way around
E                   F#m                        A
Heard the whispers, now let's see what all the talk's about
E                 F#m                      A
I'm taking in the sights and measuring the sounds
E                   F#m                        A
Heard the whispers, now let's see what all the talk's about


[Pre-Chorus]
            E                     F#m
And he said age is just a number, just like any other
A
We can do whatever, do whatever you want
E
Boy becomes a man now
      F#m
Can't tell a man to slow down
A
He'€™ll just do whatever, do whatever he wants


[Chorus]
E                      F#m
I went out looking for love when I was seventeen
A
Maybe a little too young, but it was real to me
E                             F#m
And in the heat of the night, saw things I'd never seen
A                            E
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, seventeen


[Bridge]
E        F#m
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
A
Seventeen, seventeen, seventeen
E        F#m
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
A
Seventeen, seventeen, seventeen


[Chorus]
E                      F#m
I went out looking for love when I was seventeen
A
Maybe a little too young, but it was real to me
E                             F#m
And in the heat of the night, saw things I'd never seen
A                            E
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, seventeen
                       F#m
I went out looking for love when I was seventeen
A
Maybe a little too young, but it was real to me
E                             F#m
And in the heat of the night, saw things I'd never seen
A                            E
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, seventeen


[Outro]
E        F#m
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
A
Seventeen, seventeen, seventeen
E        F#m
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
A
Seventeen, seventeen, seventeen
