Key of D, Capo on 3rd fret


D          
He gave me his words but they were half-hearted
A                                                  Em
Still louder than the voice in my head sayin' "Run,"
                      G
In my head sayin' "Run"
D
But I was captivated, Yeah I was outsmarted
A                                       Em
Everytime he said "Oh you'll only live once,
                    G
"Yeah we'll only live once"

                Em                            A
And I remember all of it like yesterday, waiting in the driveway
D
Hoping that he'd come through
    Em                                A
With a passengers seat for me to jump into, I was
 
               D                             Em
Stupid and Seventeen, in the front seat of his car
                     G                                                 A
Just letting my heart lead, 'Cause it didn't even know it's first scar
                             D                                      Em
And I'd look up at the horizon, thinkin' "nothing can touch me now,
                                 G                                 A
I'll just look into those big blue eyes and it'll all work out somehow."
                  Em -  A                    D            D Em A G
I was smarter than everything, Stupid and Seventeen.


D
Well it's been four years now since it all started
A                                       Em
And now and then a part of me still wants to go
          G                             D
Down that never-ending dead end road

And for the rest of the world I'm so guarded
A                                  Em
So what he does to me I don't know
   G
Yeah he just breaks me down


Em                               A
I say I won't but then I do, see him in a crowded room
D
I forget everything
Em                    A
And I go right on back to being

             D                             Em
Stupid and Seventeen, in the front seat of his car
                     G                                                 A
Just letting my heart lead, Like it doesn't even know it's first scar
                             D                                      Em
And I'd look up at the horizon, thinkin' "nothing can touch me now,
                                 G                                 A
I'll just look into those big blue eyes and it'll all work out somehow."
                             Em -  A                    D            D Em A G
Thinking I was smarter than everything, Stupid and Seventeen.

 Em  G                         D                      
Well it's been drawn out for so long now
   A
Do I even know you, do you even know me?
 Em                G
I guess the reason I've still been believing is
       D                          A
You're the only one who can make me be


               D                                      Em
Stupid and Seventeen, but I'm tired of you waterin' me down
                                   G                                     A
Getting out of your passenger's seat, I'm getting in the driver's side now
                                D                                           Em
And you can look in these big blue eyes and just don't think you're going to see
                                 G                                      A
That girl who was sittin' here wide eyed hearing things she know you don't mean
                           Em -  A                D         
Cause you know I don't want to be, Stupid and Seventeen

D                                             Em
Don't go away, sayin' "I'll just keep lookin' at you now
                              G
[Even] if we stay it'll work somehow."
                     A
It's not gonna make it, it's not gonna make it better I         
D                                         Em                                     G
Tell myself "just keep on looking at him now, maybe it'll all work out somehow"
                       A
But baby I am done being
        D
Stupid and Seventeen
