snow On New Years Day
or Christmas Eve

had turn to white
And the pretty girls
B                    G#/C C#m
  that used to smile at   me
Just stared off straight
 A
ahead or looked down
         C#m
at their feet. So tonight
A                 E
  I'll sit up here With
             B
these street lights and
                C#m
these seventeen beers

Straight from the page
A                 E
  of a teenage diary
Underneath these shitty

stars like I was
     A       B
seventeen. I mean
