hammer – ons or pull – offs , if you’re listening to the song though they’re easy to pick up on .
thanks!

i was only seventeen living out a reckless dream ,
C G
riding those summer streets to the corner of high and 13
G D
me and other city boys running too wild and too bored
C G
looking for a grown man’s toys out at that corner store
C G C G D
well they threw the money to me and somebody’s i . D .
G C
i was in the parking lot scared as hell
Em G
sending sixteen dollars down a wishing well
G C
two bottles of wine , those red and blue lights
Em G
took a trip down town for the very first time
C G C G D
watching my own life flash before my eyes
C G
like i was seventeen
G D
she was from across the tracks with the private school laugh
C G
we were both falling too fast down a river that wouldn’t last
C G C G D
it was only one night and our first time
G C
i was in the parking lot scared as hell
Em G
sending sixteen dollars down a wishing well
G C
i held her tight between those yellow lines
Em G
sat there crying about a miscarried life
C G C G D
watching my own life flash before my eyes
C
like i was seventeen
G
oh it was a lifetime ago
C G
i pray for mercy walking on down that road
D D
i met the woman of my dreams , she said yes to me
C G C G C G
and she said , “baby i’m late , never this late . i’m feeling a change . we
D
should find out either way . ”
C G C G
and i’m grabbing my keys and i’m shutting the front door
C G D
i can hardly breathe driving that familiar road
C G
and i’m parked between those yellow lines
C G
looking down that aisle
C G D
don’t know whether to laugh or whether to cry
G C
i’m in the parking lot scared as hell
Em G
sending sixteen dollars down a wishing well
G C
two pink lines or maybe just one
Em G
could be my daughter or it could be my son
C G C G D
watching our own lives flash before my eyes
C G
like i was seventeen
C G C G
funny how the years switch around the tears that way
C G
like i was seventeen
