VERSE:

E A

I was always taught to forgive and forget

E A

I live a simple life but I can't pretend

E A

Like it's all ok, when really it's not

E B

Because I've learned that liars get caught

VERSE:

I know I'm only seventeen

But things get rough

When you live in this town

And you know you're stuck

E A

Until you get a car

E B

'Cause even then, you won't get far

Don't get me wrong, it's been a party

E B

But I think I'm passing out

CHORUS:

E A

I'm seventeen and it's hard enough

Dbm B E

To understand that I'm growing up fast

A Dbm

My mom and dad, were all I had

But everybody drifts like yes

E A

There's always gotta be a better place than here

Dbm B

I can feel the sun, but I'm nowhere near

E A Dbm

So what do you say, we make like angels

B E E A E A

And get the hell outta here

VERSE:

E A

I can make an honest living at the grocery store

With all the people who forgot their dreams

And closed the doors

E A

But I know that I need more

E B

I can't survive on mopping floors

VERSE:

E A

Now the days of the week are all the same

E A

If I'm not at work, then I'm with my friends

Doing stupid things, I won't forget

Until the day I die

Don't get me wrong, it's been a party

But I need to move along
