DTo this day when I hear that song,
I Dsee you standing there on that lawn,
GDiscount shades, store bought tan,
Bmflip-flops and Acut off jeans.
DSomewhere between that setting sun,
DI'm On Fire and Born To Run,
You Glooked at me and I was done,
but we were Bmjust getting sAtarted.
I was Dsinging to you, you were singing to me,
I was Dso alive, never been more free,
Fired Gup my daddy's lighter and we sang Bmoh-woah-oh-Awoah-ohh.
DStayed there till they forced us out,
and Dtook the long way to your house,
And GI can still hear the sound,
Of you Bmsaying don't Ago.
[Chorus]
DWhen I think about you,
AI think about 17,
BmI think about my old Jeep,

From Dback when I was gasoline and this oDld tattoo had brand new ink,
And we Gdidn't care what your mom would think 'bout your Bmname on my Aarm.
Baby Dis it spring or is it summer,
The Dguitar sound or the beat of that drummer,
You Ghear sometimes late at night Bmon your radiAo.
Even Dthough you're a million miles away,
When Dyou hear Born In The USA,
Do Gyou relive those Glory Days from Bmso long aAgo?

[Verse 1]

To this day when I hear that song,

I see you standing there on that lawn,

Discount shades, store bought tan,

Bm A

flip-flops and cut off jeans.

Somewhere between that setting sun,

I'm On Fire and Born To Run,

You looked at me and I was done,

Bm A

but we were just getting started.

I was singing to you, you were singing to me,

I was so alive, never been more free,

G Bm A

Fired up my daddy's lighter and we sang oh-woah-oh-woah-ohh.

Stayed there till they forced us out,

and took the long way to your house,

And I can still hear the sound,

Bm A

Of you saying don't go.

[Chorus]

When I think about you,

I think about 17,

I think about my old Jeep,

I think about the stars in the sky.

Bm A

Funny how a melody sounds like a memory,

D G Em A

Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night,

D D/A G D A

Springsteen.

[Verse 2]

If I bumped into you by happenstance,

You probably wouldn't even know who I am,

But if I whispered your name,

Bm A

I bet there'd still be a spark.

D D

From back when I was gasoline and this old tattoo had brand new ink,

G Bm A

And we didn't care what your mom would think 'bout your name on my arm.

Baby is it spring or is it summer,

The guitar sound or the beat of that drummer,

G Bm A

You hear sometimes late at night on your radio.

Even though you're a million miles away,

When you hear Born In The USA,

G Bm A

Do you relive those Glory Days from so long ago?

[Chorus]

When you think about me,

Do you think about 17,

Do you think about my old Jeep,

Think about the stars in the sky.

Bm A

Funny how a melody sounds like a memory,
