[Primera Parte]

   A
My daddy says that life comes at you
 fast

We all like blades of grass
   D
We come to prime and in time we just
 wither away
           F#m
And it all changes

My view with a looking glass won't 
catch the past
     D                           
Only photographs remind us of the 
            E
passing of days
   A
Oh nothing stays the same from 
yesteryears
                    D
See I recall being afraid of the 
dark

And holding on to teddy bears
    F#m
I'd wrap myself in blankets just to 
cover me from fears
         D
That was then and now I'm here
        E
And the night is mine

So hear me scream
I was too young to understand what 
   D
it means
I couldn't wait til I could be 
     F#m
seventeen
I thought he lied when he said take 
           D
my time to dream
Now I wish I could freeze the time 
        A
at seventeen
         D
I'm Seventeen

   A
My mother said don't forget where 
you come from, where you've been
D
Always keep your closest friends 
they can't slip away
              F#m
They keep you grounded

Oh keep yourself surrounded with 
good advice
    D
And yeah I guess that sounded nice 
when I was ten
       A
Oh but never were there truer words

And I'll my days I've ever heard
    D
And when she told me little girl the
 answer is love
             F#m
So those are words that I keep with 
me

Though the seasons change so quickly
          D
Keep them buried in my heart

And never fought
