G EmG Em [Verse 1]
GEm I know what you wanna say
GEm I think that you're all the same
GEm Constantly being led astray
GEm He's thinking of something you don't
 [Chorus]
GEm 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]
GEm Down beneath the ashes and the stone
GEm Sure of what I've lived and have known
GEm I see you so uncomfortably alone
GEm I wish I could show you how much you've grown
 [Chorus]
GEm 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]
GEm La-la-la-la-la-la-la
DC La-la-la-la-la-la-la
GEm La-la-la-la-la-la-la
DC La-la-la-la-la-la-la
 [Verse 3]
GEm I know what you're gonna be
GEm I know that you're gonna be
GEm You're crumbling up just to see
GEm Afraid that you'll be just like me
 [Chorus]
GEm 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
G
