[Verse 1]G Em
I know what you wanna say
G Em
I think that you're all the same
G Em
Constantly being led astray
G Em
He's thinking of something you don't
[Chorus]G Em
Downtown hotspot
D
Halfway up the street
C
I used to be free
G
I used to be seventeen
Em
Follow my shadow
D
Around your corner
C
I used to be seventeen
G
Now you're just like me
[Verse 2]G Em
Down beneath the ashes and the stone
G Em
Sure of what I've lived and have known
G Em
I see you so uncomfortably alone
G Em
I wish I could show you how much you've grown
[Chorus]G Em
Downtown hotspot
D
I used to be on this street
C
I used to be seventeen
G
I used to be seventeen
Em
Now you're a hotshot
D
Hanging on my block
C
Sun coming up
G
Who is my shadow?
[Bridge]G Em
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la
G Em
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
D C
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 3]G Em
I know what you're gonna be
G Em
I know that you're gonna be
G Em
You're crumbling up just to see
G Em
Afraid that you'll be just like me
[Chorus]G Em
Downtown hotspot
D
Halfway through this life
C
I used to feel free
G
Was it just a dream?
Em
Now you're a hotshot
D
Think you're so carefree
C
But you're just seventeen
G
So much like me
Em
You're just seventeen
D
You're just seventeen
C
Seventeen
