G* C** G* C*

[Verse 1]
G                               ***
Sirens wail and a flashing light
G                                 
Nothing better to do on a Tuesday 
  C
night
             G*
But give me hell
G                                 
Where ya headed, what are you out 
   ***
for
G                                 
Don't see much of you 'round here 
   C
anymore
                      G*
I guess it's just as well
D                  C
Once upon a time you had it all
D                  C
You let everybody down
D                    C       
You're always seventeen in your 
        G*
hometown.

[Chorus]
D                   C            
Running from your folks, running 
          G
from the law
D              C                 
Running from love, running from 
     G                     D
your fears, running from it all
C             D
You keep on running, boy
        G           G/F#     Em
You'll run yourself in the ground
C                D           
You're always seventeen in your 
     G     *  **
hometown

[Verse 2]
G                                 
Her porch swing still looks the 
  ***
same
G                                 
She probably won't even remember 
   C
my name
                             G***
Just like she didn't back then
Continúa después del anuncio
G                                ***
Is she married, is she doing fine
G                                 
Does she known about all the 
                 C
nights I laid awake cryin'
                  G*
Just to know her hand
D                  C
The door opens and I run away
D                       C
Just like the same old clown
D              C             
You're always seventeen in your 
        G*
hometown

[Chorus]
D                   C            
Running from your folks, running 
          G
from the law
D              C                 
Running from love, running from 
     G                     D
your fears, running from it all
C             D
You keep on running, boy
        G           G/F#     Em
You'll run yourself in the ground
C                D           
You're always seventeen in your 
     G     *  **
hometown

[Verse 3]
G
Nobody is gonna miss me
G                                 
No tears will fall, no one's gonna
  C
 weep
                  G
When I hit that road
G                              
My boots are broken, my brain is 
          G
sore
From keeping up with their little 
         C
world
                  G
I've got a heavy load
D                          C
Gonna leave 'em all just like before
D             C
I'm big city bound
D              C             
You're always seventeen in your 
        G*
hometown

[Chorus]

D                   C            
Running from your folks, running 
          G
from the law
D              C                 
Running from love, running from 
     G                     D
your fears, running from it all
C             D
You keep on running, boy
        G           G/F#     Em
You'll run yourself in the ground
C                D           
You're always seventeen in your 
     G     *  **
hometown
