C Em F Am G

[Verse 1]
C
I can go for days, even months
        Em
without thinking of you, not even once
     F                                     Am  G
then like a wave you come crashing into my dreams

    C
I'm sitting with you in your beat up car
Em
laughing and looking up at the stars
  F                                         Am G
a shadow falls over your face as you turn to me

[Pre-chorus]
        C
You say I won't be happy til I give you the world
           F
Don't you know you'll always be my girl
      Am                                         G
and I wake up with your words echoing through my head


[Chorus]
        C 
Are you thinking of me where you are now?
        Em
Are you happy with how your life's turning out?
F
Although we were kids back then
   Am                    G
We both knew how much it meant
    C
I'm thinking of you where I am now
    Em 
I'm happy with how my life's turing out
       F
But a part of me will always be
Am              G
Holding onto seventeen

C Em F Am G

[Verse 2] 
  C              
I leave my eyes closed so I can keep
Em 
slow dancing with your memory
        F                                         Am  G
But the image that once burned brightly starts to fade

[Pre-chorus]
  C
I know I romanticize all that we were
       F
at the end of the day you and I didn't work
        Am                        G
Yet so much of who I am I owe to you


[Chorus]
        C 
Are you thinking of me where you are now?
        Em
Are you happy with how your life's turning out?
F
Although we were kids back then
   Am                     G
We both knew how much it meant
    C
I'm thinking of you where I am now
    Em
I'm happy with how my life's turing out
       F
But a part of me will always be
Am             G              C
Holding onto seventeen


[Bridge]
     C
If I knew back then what I know now
      F
Could have foretold the end somehow
  Am
I still don't think I would change a thing
      G
about how I felt at seventeen


[Chorus]
        C
Are you thinking of me where you are now?
        Em
Are you happy with how your life's turning out?
F
Although we were kids back then
   Am                     G
We both knew how much it meant
    C
I'm thinking of you where I am now
    Em
I'm happy with how my life's turing out
       F
But a part of me will always be
Am             G 
Holding onto seventeen
