G
  I heard you got your license last week
                            Em
Just like you always talked about
And yeah, I'm so excited for you
                            C
To finally drive yourself around
But today I drove off to college
                           G
And that's why I'm not around

G
  And yeah I'm with that blonde girl
The one you worried about
Em
She's the same age as me
                                  C
And in the same phase I'm in now, yeah
Today I drove off to college 'cause
                                 G
Don't we all just become someone else?


[Chorus]
    C
And I know that you're hurting
                                 G
'Cause you never fеlt this way for no one
    C
And it's hard to imagine but
I know you'll be okay
         G
now that I’m gone
Em      D          G            Bm7        C
I heard everything in your song that blew up
      C
about me
    D
But nothing's forever, especially when you're
G
seventeen


[Verse 2]
G
  If all your friends are tired
Then tell 'em I don't miss you
Em
   I don't feel sorry for them
'Cause they'll never know what you put me through
  C
Yeah, today I drove off to college
                                        G
And I left behind all of the pictures I had of you


[Chorus]
    C
And I know that you're hurting
                                 G
'Cause you never fеlt this way for no one
    C
And it's hard to imagine but
I know you'll be okay
         G
now that I’m gone
Em      D          G            Bm7        C
I heard everything in your song that blew up
      C
about me
    D
But nothing's forever, especially when you're
G
seventeen


[Bridge]
Em
Green lights, long nights
C                              G
A thousand miles away from your driveway front yard
D                              Em
That look on your face when I told you it's not you
       C                          G
No, it's me and my heart that changed

D

Em
You thought sidewalks go in the same direction
C                                  G
But I just had to leave and let you go
      Em                    C
Never meant to hurt you but life moves on and
          G
we do the same

D



[Chorus]
    C
And I know that you're hurting
                                 G
'Cause you never fеlt this way for no one
    C
And it's hard to imagine but
I know you'll be okay
         G
now that I’m gone
Em      D          G            Bm7        C
I heard everything in your song that blew up
      C
about me
    D
But nothing's forever, especially when you're
G
seventeen


[Outro]
    D
Yeah nothing's forever, especially when
G
you're seventeen
