Mat Kearney - Seventeen: chords

G                                  D
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.

Chorus:
G                         Am
I was in the parking lot scared as hell
         C                      G
Sending sixteen dollars down a wishing well
G                          Am
Two bottles of wine, those red and blue lights
         C                     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

She was from across the tracks
With a private school laugh
We were both falling too fast
Down a river that wouldn't last
It was only one night and our first time

Chorus:
I was in the parking lot scared as hell
Sending sixteen dollars down the wishing well
I held her tight between those yellow lines
We sat there crying 'bout a miscarried life
Watching my whole life flash before my eyes
Like I was seventeen

             Em
Oh it was a lifetime ago
        C
And I prayed for mercy
        G
Walking on down that road
           D
I led the woman of my dreams
And she said yes to me
And she's sayin',

"Baby I'm late, I'm never this late
I'm feeling a change,
we should find out either way."
And I'm grabbing my keys and
I'm shutting the front door
I can hardly breathe driving that familiar road
And I'm parked between those yellow lines
Lookin' down that aisle
Don't know whether to laugh or whether to cry

Chorus:
I was in the parking lot scared as hell
Sending sixteen dollars down the wishing well
Two pink lines, or maybe just one
Could by my daughter or it could be my son
Watching our whole lives flash before my eyes
Like I was seventeen

Funny how the years switch around the tears that way
Like I was seventeen
