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


(Chorus:)
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
