G5                 B5 
Two young kids, a night in May 
  C5                  
A country road and a Chevrolet, 
  G5     D5            G5 
Beneath   the summer moon 
G5               B5 
Almost a woman, almost a man 
C5 
Things like this get out of hand 
     G5     D5                G5     
Seventeen,   and that's too soon 
 
Refr?o -------------
                E5 
You can call it youth 
    C5               G5 
And blame it on the night 
                E5 
You can call it life  
    C5                 G5 
And say that it's not right 
                B5 
You can call it foolish 
         C5      D5        G5 
Blame it on the stars above 
                 E5      D5 
Call it what you want 
          C5 
I call it love

Blood runs high, and wrong or right 
They lose their heads, run off one night 
And what's done can't be undone 
Thinkin' life's an easy thing 
A borrowed dress and a wedding ring 
Eighteen, and that's too young 
 
Chorus 
 
Time goes on and in a while 
It's a rented room and a month old child 
And they're down 
To just gettin' by 
It's hard to laugh when life's that way 
People shake their heads and say 
They won't make it 
Oh, but they might 
 
Chorus
