Alessia Cara – Seventeen Chords

My daddy says that life comes at you fast, we all like blades of grass
We come to prime and in time we just wither away, and it all changes
My view with a looking glass won’t catch the past, only photographs remind us of the passing of days
Oh nothing stays the same from yesteryears, see I recall being afraid of the dark
And holding on to teddy bears, I’d wrap myself in blankets just to cover me from fears
That was then and now I’m here, and the night is mine

So hear me scream, I was too young to understand what it means, I couldn’t wait til I could be seventeen
I thought he lied when he said take my time to dream, now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
I’m seventeen, seventeen, seventeen, now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen

My mother said don’t forget where you come from, where you’ve been
Always keep your closest friends they can’t slip away, they keep you grounded
Oh keep yourself surrounded with good advice, and yeah I guess that sounded nice when I was ten
Oh but never were there truer words, and I’ll my days I’ve ever heard
And when she told me little girl the answer is love, so those are words that I keep with me
Though the seasons change so quickly, keep them buried in my heart, and never fought

So hear me scream, I was too young to understand what it means, I couldn’t wait til I could be seventeen
I thought he lied when he said take my time to dream, now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
I’m seventeen, seventeen, seventeen, now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen

I been goin on, I been growing up, I’m a know it all, I don’t know enough
See I was racing and waiting for the day that I would be old enough
Guess I’ll be patient and pace myself gotta prepare for when goings rough

So hear me scream, I was too young to understand what it means, I couldn’t wait til I could be seventeen
I thought he lied when he said take my time to dream, now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
I’m seventeen, seventeen, seventeen, now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
