Cadd9CCmaj7C6C The Valen-tines I never knew, D7sus4Dm7A/DDm7 The Friday nights cha-rades of youth. G7/B Were spent on one more beautiful; Cadd9CCmaj7C6C At seven-teen, I learned the truth.
Cadd9CCmaj7C6C A brown eyed girl in hand-me-downs, D7sus4Dm7A/DDm7 Who's name I never could pro-nounce, G7/B Said; "pity please, the ones who serve, Cadd9CCmaj7C6C They only get what they de-serve.
Cadd9CCmaj7C6C The rich re-lationed home-town queen, D7sus4Dm7A/DDm7 Marries into what she needs. G7/B A guarantee of company, Cadd9CCmaj7C6C And haven for the elder-ly".
Eb6Dm7G7/B Re-member those who win the game, lose the love they sought to gain. Cm7Fm7Cm7Fm7 In debentures of quality, and dubious in-tegrity. AbG7 Their small town eyes will gape at you; Cm7Fm7 In dull surprise, when payment due; Dm7* (Gadd9) Exceeds accounts received, at seventeen.
Cadd9CCmaj7C6C To those of us who know the pain, D7sus4Dm7A/DDm7 Of valen -tines that never came. G7/B And those whose name were never called, Cadd9CCmaj7C6C When choosing sides at basket-ball.
Cadd9CCmaj7C6C It was long a-go and far a-way, D7sus4Dm7A/DDm7 The world was younger than to-day. G7/B And dreams were all they gave for free, Cadd9CCmaj7C6C To ugly duckling girls like me.
Eb6Dm7G7 We all play the game and when we dare, to cheat ourselves at solitaire. Cm7Fm7Cm7Fm7 In-venting lovers on the phone, re-penting other lives unknown. AbG7 That call and say; "come dance with me", Cm7Fm7 And murmur vague ob-scenities, Dm7* (G7/B) At ugly girls like me; at seventeen.
