Matt Fishel - Seventeen again
Intro:
G C G C
Verse 1:
G C
I heard that you skipped school today
G C
And you know that's against the rules
G C
They told me you've been smoking in the park again
G C
And you know it's bad for you
Dm Bm
Don't be ashamed, I'm not judging you
Bm F
But we need to find a way to get you through
F C
You should know I empathize
C Bm
You gotta rebel and break the rules sometimes
Bm D
But you gotta pick your fights
Chorus:
G ( F ) ( Gm ) Em
You feel you're on your own but I've been there before
Em Bm
Everything will change
Bm F ( A )
Though right now it may not feel that way
D E
When I see the anger in your eyes
E Am
It feels like I'm seventeen again
G F
(Feel seventeen again)
Verse 2:
G C
So your parents don't get on anymore
G C
And your dad is moving house
G C
But all this weed you're smoking isn't good for you
G C
You cash supply will soon run out
Dm Bm
So go get stoned, but don't drop out
Bm F
You know that's not what life's about
F C
You still got your self esteem
C Bm
It breaks my heart to see such a confident boy
D
Waste away like this
Chorus:
G ( F ) ( Gm ) Em
You're never on your own, I'll be there for you
Em Bm
I can help things change
Bm F ( A )
But only if you let me in
D E
I wanna be a friend to you
E Am
But I can't be seventeen again
G F
(be seventeen again)
Instrumental:
C Am F C G
Bridge:
D Bm
Well I can see the tell-tale signs
Bm G
There's something else on your mind
A
See I know that expression
D Bm
A stirring feeling deep inside
Bm Em
Your friends don't get it and your family will fight
( G ) A
To keep it well hidden
F C
But it's all plain to me
D A
It's all clear to you
E B D
Follow this feeling through
Verse 3:
G C
Tell this guy how you feel
G C
The one you can't stop dreaming about
G C
Just have a good time and experiment for a while
G C
How will you know if you never find out?
Dm Bm
What the hell you gonna lose?
Bm F
What's his friendship worth to you?
F C
Can you see him every day
C Bm
And know that you never took it anywhere?
D
He might feel the same way
Chorus:
G ( Gm ) Em
And yes it's normal if it feels real inside
Em Bm
This new freedom
Bm F ( A )
Can make you feel whole again
D ( F ) E
But if you don't open your eyes
E Am
You'll be stuck at seventeen again
G F
For the rest of your life
