Tom: G
G
I heard you got your license last week
Em
Just like you always talked about
And yeah, I'm so excited for you
C
To finally drive yourself around
But today I drove off to college
G
And that's why I'm not around
G
And yeah I'm with that blonde girl
The one you worried about
Em
She's the same age as me
And in the same phase I'm in now, yeah
C
Today I drove off to college 'cause
G
Don't we all just become someone else?
[Chorus]
C
And I know that you're hurting
G
'Cause you never fеlt this way for no one
C
And it's hard to imagine but I know you'll be okay
G
now that I'm gone
Em D G Bm7 C
I heard everything in your song that blew up about me
C6 D G
But nothing's forever, especially when you're seventeen
[Verse 2]
G
If all your friends are tired
Then tell 'em I don't miss you
Em
I don't feel sorry for them
'Cause they'll never know what you put me through
C
Yeah, today I drove off to college
G
And I left behind all of the pictures I had of you
[Chorus]
C
And I know that you're hurting
G
'Cause you never felt this way for no one
C
And it's hard to imagine but I know you'll be okay
G
now that I'm gone
Em D G Bm7 C
I heard everything in your song that blew up about me
C6 D G
But nothing's forever, especially when you're seventeen
[Bridge]
Em
Green lights, long nights
C G
A thousand miles away from your driveway front yard
D Em
That look on your face when I told you it's not you
C G
No, it's me and my heart that changed
D
Oooooooooh
Em
You thought sidewalks go in the same direction
C G
But I just had to leave and let you go
D
Never meant to hurt you
Em
but life moves on and we do the same
D
Oooooooooh
[Chorus]
C
And I know that you're hurting
G
'Cause you never felt this way for no one
C
And it's hard to imagine but I know you'll be ok
G
now that I'm gone
Em D Bm7 D C
I heard everything in your song that blew up about me
C6 D G
But nothing's forever, especially when you're seventeen
[Outro]
C D Em7
Yeah nothing's forever, especially when you're seventeen
