Barbara Dickson - Only Seventeen
CAPO: 5th Fret
[INTRO:] C F C G C G C F C G C G F C
[VERSE 1:]
G
Nobody hears when you're talking
C G
Too many tears have you calling
F
"What can I do?"
C
Why is it no one seems to care
G
Where is the love you often wonder
C G
Too many nights you wait and wonder
F
"How can it be?"
C
Why do you feel there's no one there
G F
If only you could steal away somehow
G F
Maybe they'd understand, what's the use anyhow
[CHORUS:]
G C
You're only seventeen
F
Lost in a world where you belong
G C
Only seventeen
F
Caught in a dream you know is wrong
Am G/B Am G/B F
And as the night begins to fall how can you win
G C
You're only seventeen
[VERSE 2:]
G
Wishing and hoping sometimes praying
C G
Wanting to leave but you keep saying
F
"Someday soon"
C
Sooner or later you'll be free
G F
You know inside your heart that you want to run
G F
But it tears you apart 'cause it can't be done
[CHORUS:]
G C
You're only seventeen
F
Lost in a world where you belong
G C
Only seventeen
F
Caught in a dream you know is wrong
[BRIDGE:]
Bb F
And though you try to laugh there's a photograph
C G
That reminds you too much of your dreams
Bb F
There's a chance you'll laugh with that photograph
C G
Which reminds you of what might have been
F C
Ooh, you're only seventeen
[INSTRUMENTAL:] G C G F C
[CHORUS:]
G C
You're only seventeen
F
Lost in a world where you belong
G C
Only seventeen

Caught in a dream you know is wrong

And as the night begins to fall how can you win
