(C) 2011 Lindsay Bruce
Key of D, Capo on 3rd fret
DHe gave me his words but they were half-hearted
AStill louder than the voice in my head sayin' "Run,Em"
In my head sayin' "RunG"
DBut I was captivated, Yeah I was outsmarted
AEverytime he said "Oh you'll only live oEmnce,
"Yeah we'll only livGe once"
And I remember aEmll of it like yesterday, waitiAng in the driveway
DHoping that he'd come through
With Ema passengers seat for me to jump Ainto, I was
Stupid and SeveDnteen, in the front seat of hiEms car
Just letting my heart Glead, 'Cause it didn't even know it's first scarA  
And I'd look up at the horizoDn, thinkin' "nothing can touch me now,Em  
I'll just look into those big bluGe eyes and it'll all work out someAhow."
                   Em-                      A              D   D   Em   A  G  
I was smarter than everything, Stupid and Seventeen.
DWell it's been four years now since it all started
AAnd now and then a part of me still wantEms to go
Down that Gnever-ending dead end roadD  
And for the rest of the world I'm so guarded
ASo what he does to me I don't knowEm  
YeaGh he just breaks me down
EmI say I won't but then I do, see Ahim in a crowded room
DI forget everything
EmAnd I go right on back Ato being
Stupid and SeDventeen, in the front seat of Emhis car
Just letting my heart Glead, Like it doesn't even know it's first scarA  
And I'd look up at the horizoDn, thinkin' "nothing can touch me now,Em  
I'll just look into those big bluGe eyes and it'll all work out someAhow."
                              Em-                      A              D   D   Em   A  G  
Thinking I was smarter than everything, Stupid and Seventeen.
WEmell Git's been drawn out for so Dlong now
Do AI even know you, do you even know me?
I Emguess the reason GI've still been believing is
You're Dthe only one who can make mAe be
Stupid and SeveDnteen, but I'm tired of you waterin' me Emdown
Getting out of your passenger's seaGt, I'm getting in the driver's side noAw
And you can look in these big blDue eyes and just don't think you're going to Emsee
That girl who was sittin' here wiGde eyed hearing things she know you donA't mean
                            Em-                  A           D  
Cause you know I don't want to be, Stupid and Seventeen
DDon't go away, sayin' "I'll just keep lookin' Emat you now
[Even] if we stay it'll work sGomehow."
It's not gonna make iAt, it's not gonna make it better I         
DTell myself "just keep on looking at him nEmow, maybe it'll all work out somehow"G

Key of D, Capo on 3rd fret

He gave me his words but they were half-hearted

A Em

Still louder than the voice in my head sayin' "Run,"

In my head sayin' "Run"

But I was captivated, Yeah I was outsmarted

A Em

Everytime he said "Oh you'll only live once,

"Yeah we'll only live once"

Em A

And I remember all of it like yesterday, waiting in the driveway

Hoping that he'd come through

Em A

With a passengers seat for me to jump into, I was

D Em

Stupid and Seventeen, in the front seat of his car

G A

Just letting my heart lead, 'Cause it didn't even know it's first scar

D Em

And I'd look up at the horizon, thinkin' "nothing can touch me now,

G A

I'll just look into those big blue eyes and it'll all work out somehow."

Em A D D Em A G

I was smarter than everything, Stupid and Seventeen.

Well it's been four years now since it all started

A Em

And now and then a part of me still wants to go

G D

Down that never-ending dead end road

And for the rest of the world I'm so guarded

A Em

So what he does to me I don't know

Yeah he just breaks me down

Em A

I say I won't but then I do, see him in a crowded room

I forget everything

Em A

And I go right on back to being

D Em

Stupid and Seventeen, in the front seat of his car

G A

Just letting my heart lead, Like it doesn't even know it's first scar

D Em

And I'd look up at the horizon, thinkin' "nothing can touch me now,

G A

I'll just look into those big blue eyes and it'll all work out somehow."

Em A D D Em A G

Thinking I was smarter than everything, Stupid and Seventeen.

Em G D

Well it's been drawn out for so long now

Do I even know you, do you even know me?

Em G

I guess the reason I've still been believing is

D A

You're the only one who can make me be

D Em

Stupid and Seventeen, but I'm tired of you waterin' me down

G A

Getting out of your passenger's seat, I'm getting in the driver's side now

D Em

And you can look in these big blue eyes and just don't think you're going to see

G A

That girl who was sittin' here wide eyed hearing things she know you don't mean

Em A D

Cause you know I don't want to be, Stupid and Seventeen

D Em

Don't go away, sayin' "I'll just keep lookin' at you now

[Even] if we stay it'll work somehow."

It's not gonna make it, it's not gonna make it better I

D Em G

Tell myself "just keep on looking at him now, maybe it'll all work out somehow"

But baby I am done being
