Chorus:
              Am Am6
Oh she's only 17
G          D/F#     Em           D      Am
Whine and wine and wound up over everything
G      D/F#   Em              D        Am
Bloody Mary breakfast busting up the scene
G          D/F#           Em           D         Am
Brothers frightened and when's a baby going to sleep
Em      Em7/F#   Em7/G  Em7/F#
Hidden ship that sails away

C    C/B     Am         G      D
Said it's a culmination of a story and
    D/F#   G
a goodbye session
C         C/B         Am
It's the tick of our time and
     G           D
the tick in her hair
              D/F#      G
That made me feel so strange

So I could call you baby I could call you dammit
It's a one in a million
Oh it's the rolling of her Spanish tongue
That made me want to stay

Chorus:
Oh she's only 17
Wind and wind and wound up over everything
Bloody Mary breakfast busting up the scene
Brothers frightened when's a baby going to sleep
Hidden ship that sails away

Said it's a culmination of a story and
a goodbye session
It's the tick of our time and the tick in her hair
That made me feel so strange

So I could call you baby I could call you dammit
It's a one in a million
Oh it's the rolling of her Spanish tongue
That made me want to stay

I could call you baby I could call you dammit
It's a one in a million
Oh it's the rolling of her Spanish tongue
That made me want to stay
