Only Seventeen Lyrics & Chords By Inner Gypsy

Only Seventeen
© Mario Vickram Sen, 6 Aug 2001

1
Every time that I think of you, it's a sad memory.
Dreaming 'bout what we could have been, and what you were to me.
By the time I am speaking of you were already gone.
I still thought of you day and night, I kept singing that song.

Chorus:
I was only seventeen, didn't know what losing could mean.
Thought the whole world belonged to me, I was only a boy.

2
Didn't know how to get you back. Didn't know how to make you stay.
And I guess if I could've done, you would never have gone away.
I was guilty and I was innocent, and I couldn't hold my booze.
Any drunk could've told me then, I was destined to lose.

Chorus:
I was only seventeen, didn't know what losing could mean.
Thought the whole world belonged to me, I was only a boy.

Bridge
We were all so much younger then.
We believed everything would change.
And in some ways I suppose it did,
But it's still mostly the same

Chorus:
When you're only seventeen, you don't know what losing could mean.
Thought the whole world belonged to me, I was only a boy.
I was only seventeen. Didn't know what losing could mean.
Thought the whole world belonged to me, I was only a boy.
