Marina And The Diamonds - Seventeen

Am F Dm G
used to be a major scale
Am F Dm G
but the melody went stale
Am F Dm G
musical cacophony let
Am F Dm G
eensy weensy spider free

you’re a rich little boy
who’s had to work for his toys
you’ve got all the sensibilities
of an upper class guy

Am C F G
no i’m not your little slave
Am C F G
no i don’t twist and turn that way
Am C F G
only got bad things to say
Am C G F
you’re always asking what is up , up with me

Am C F
could never tell you what happened
G C G Am
the day i turned seventeen
C G Am
the rise of a king and the fall of a queen
C G F C G Am
seventeen , seventeen

( same chords as verse 1 )

oh , you are embarrassed of me
cos i use my tongue freely
bet you wish i couldn’t speak
cos when i do , you know
i tell you why you’re being weak
you want a hassle free life
go get your upper class wife
oh , she’s got all the personality
of a lemon that has been
truly sucked dry

you teach me how to behave
i felt you question the way
i was brought up as a baby
well you don’t know fxxk about my family

could never tell you what happened
the day i turned seventeen
the rise of a king and the fall of a queen
seventeen , seventeen

C G Am
never fell down like a princess
C G Am
i used to kid myself in this stress
C G F
that it was just how things
C G Am
were meant to be
C G Am C G Am
oh , seventeen , seventeen .

( original last verse )
never fell down like a princess
but at least i picked myself up like a queen
