Intro: D5  G5  D5   D5  G5  D5 
 
                        G5 
Seventeen and innocent 
                          D5 
I wonder where all the years went 
A5               
Lookin back on a youth misspent 
D5                 D5   D5 
God I miss those days 
 
All the chances that we took 

Always leaped and never looked 

I tell you I could write a book 

On all the hell we raised 
 
CHORUS1: 
B5                         A5 
Thought I was cool with my Lucky Strikes 
B5                    A5 
I didn't start too many fights 
B5                    A5               D5 
But in those days I finished quite a few 
B5                      A5 
Beat up cars and the cheapest wine 
B5                       A5 
And any trouble we could find 
B5                         A5 
The worst of days were the best of times 
     G5                           D5 
Lookin back through life's rearview 
     B5     A5       G5      A5        D5 
And lookin back I miss my misspent youth 
 
I'm no worse now for the wear 
I've gotten married, cut my hair 
Me and her we're quite a pair 
All my friends say 
 
And speaking of old friends 
We still talk now and then 
'Cept now there's a few of them 
You can only reach by prayer 
 
CHORUS 2: 
 
We were cool with our Lucky Strikes 
Didn't start too many fights 
But in those days we finished quite a few 
Beat up cars and the cheapest wine 
And any trouble we could find 
The worst of days were the best of times 
Lookin back through life's rearview 
And lookin back I miss my misspent youth 
 
 
Beat up cars and the cheapest wine 
And any trouble we could find 
The worst of days were the best of times 
Lookin back through life's rearview 
And lookin back I miss my misspent youth 
 
And lookin back I miss my misspent youth 
 
I miss my misspent youth
