G
At seventeen all i wanted to be
F C
Was gone long gone
G
The only way i would have stayed
F C
Was a graveyard stone
G
I had a plan that i could mention
F C D
But the road is paved with good intentions
G F C
Forgiveness if you please
G F C
Let it rain down on me
G D G
Cause i've come a long way to nowhere
G
Now when i'm asked did i learn in the past
F C
I say more or less
G
And do i know which direction to go
F C
Well i must confess
G
If i thought i knew the answer
F C D
I am sure i'd have taken my chances
(Chorus)
G
The irony is that i'm dying to be
F C
Gone long gone
G
And you know if i could i'd go back
F C
Home sweet home
G
Sifting through the mixed emotions
F C D
I couldn't change if i took the notion
(Chorus)
G
Seventeen, all i wanted to be
Was gone long gone
