[Intro 1]
[Am][C][F][G][F][G][F][G][F]

[Verse 1]
She bought a ticket on [F]a
midnight [G]train,
To a place she'd never [F]leave [G]again.
She blamed it on her [F]daddy's [G]sins,
I blamed it [Am]all on m[F]e.

[Verse 2]
I was just a [F]foolish [G]boy,
It was love [F]enough to fill the [G]void.
Said the word[C]s to h[F]ear the n[G]oise,
It was deafening.
[F]

[Verse 3]
[F]I never knew that thing
[G]s would cha[F]nge,
What we were then, what [G]we became,
[C]We [F]wer[G]e seventeen.[F]

[Verse 4]
[F]
They found her there late that [G]night,
On a bed [C]under [F]hotel lights.
[G]Trying to make a cou[F]ple
wrong things [G]right,
Start [F]over clean.

[Verse 5]
She never did [F]say [G]goodbye,

[Verse 6]
I never did [F]apologize.[G]
I knew the [Am]words, [F]but I could not lie,
[G]I just watched her leave.
[F]

[Verse 7]
[F]I never knew that t[G]hings would change,
[C][G]
[F]What we were then, what [G]we became,
[Am]We w[G]ere [F]se[G]venteen.[C][F]
We wasted time, we [G]wasted [C]tears,
[F]We waved goodbye [G]to golden years,
[C][Am][F][G]
We were [C]seventeen.
[F][Am]

[Verse 8]
Beneath the [G]wreckage there's a [C]reason,
[F]a reason,
[Am]Something they looke[G]d so hard to see.[Dm][Am]
I took and [G]placed the blame,
[C]but [Em]still I [F]feel the same,
[Am]Someone just say i[G]t wasn't me.[Dm]

[Verse 9]
[Dm]
I don't think about her [F]like I should,
[G]I used to [C]try but it did[F] no goo[G]d.
She'd for[C]give me if she [F]only [G]could,
We were seventeen.
[F]
