Intro: C Em F Am G 

verse 1 
C 
I can go for days, even months 
        Em 
without thinking of you, not even once 
     F                                     Am  G 
then like a wave you come crashing into my dreams 

    C 
I'm sitting with you in your beat up car 
Em 
laughing and looking up at the stars 
  F                                         Am G 
a shadow falls over your face as you turn to me 

Pre-Chorus 
        C 
You say I won't be happy til I give you the world 
           F 
Don't you know you'll always be my girl 
      Am                                         G 
and I wake up with your words echoing through my head 

 
        C  
Are you thinking of me where you are now? 
        Em 
Are you happy with how your life's turning out? 
F 
Although we were kids back then 
   Am                    G 
We both knew how much it meant 
    C 
I'm thinking of you where I am now 
    Em  
I'm happy with how my life's turing out 
       F 
But a part of me will always be 
Am              G

C Em F Am G 

verse 2  
  C               
I leave my eyes closed so I can keep 
Em  
slow dancing with your memory 
        F                                         Am  G 
But the image that once burned brightly starts to fade 

Pre-Chorus 
  C 
I know I romanticize all that we were 
       F 
at the end of the day you and I didn't work 
        Am                        G 
Yet so much of who I am I owe to you 

 
        C  
Are you thinking of me where you are now? 
        Em 
Are you happy with how your life's turning out? 
F 
Although we were kids back then 
   Am                     G 
We both knew how much it meant 
    C 
I'm thinking of you where I am now 
    Em 
I'm happy with how my life's turing out 
       F 
But a part of me will always be 
Am             G              C 
Holding onto seventeen 



Bridge 
     C 
If I knew back then what I know now 
      F 
Could have foretold the end somehow 
  Am 
I still don't think I would change a thing 
      G 
about how I felt at seventeen 

 
        C 
Are you thinking of me where you are now? 
        Em 
Are you happy with how your life's turning out? 
F 
Although we were kids back then 
   Am                     G 
We both knew how much it meant 
    C 
I'm thinking of you where I am now 
    Em 
I'm happy with how my life's turing out 
       F 
But a part of me will always be 
Am             G
