Seventeen - Alessia Cara
Verse 1
[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] [E]
Only photographs remind us of the 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
Chorus
[A]
So hear me scream
[D]
I was too young to understand what it means
[F#m]
I couldn’t wait til I could be seventeen
[D]
I thought he lied when he said take my time to dream
[A]
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
[D]
I’m Seventeen
[F#m]
Seventeen
[D]
Seventeen
[A]
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
Verse 2
[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
Chorus
[A]
So hear me scream
[D]
I was too young to understand what it means
[F#m]
I couldn’t wait til I could be seventeen
[D]

[F#m]

[Bm]

[A]
Guess I’ll be patient and pace myself gotta prepare for when goings rough
Chorus

I was too young to understand what it means
