[Verse 1]
G G9 G Gmaj7 G6 G
I learnt the truth at seven - teen,
A7sus4 Am7 E/A Am7
That love was meant for beauty queens,
D9/F#
And high school girls with clear-skinned smiles,
G9 G Gmaj7 G6 G
Who married young, and then re - tired
G9 G Gmaj7 G6 G
| / / / / | / / / / |
[Verse 2]
G G9 G Gmaj7 G6 G
The valen - tines I never knew,
A7sus4 Am7 E/A Am7
The Friday night cha - rades of youth,
D9/F#
Were spent on one more beautiful,
G9 G Gmaj7 G6 G
At seven - teen, I learnt the truth
G9 G Gmaj7 G6 G

[Verse 3]
G Bb6
And those of us with ravaged faces,
Am7 D7
Lacking in the social graces,
Gm7 Cm7 Gm7 Cm7
Desperately re - mained at home, in - venting lovers on the phone,
Ebmaj7 D7
Who called to say, "Come dance with me!",
Gm7 Cm7
And murmured vague ob - senities,
Am7 D9/F#
It isn't all it seems ...at seventeen
[Verse 4]
G9 G Gmaj7 G6 G
A brown eyed girl in 'hand - me - downs',
A7sus4 Am7 E/A Am7
Whose name I never could pro - nounce,
D9/F#
Said, "Pity please, the ones who serve,
G9 G Gmaj7 G6 G
They only get what they de - serve!"
G9 G Gmaj7 G6 G
| / / / / | / / / / |
[Verse 5]
G G9 G Gmaj7 G6 G
And the rich re - lationed hometown queen,
A7sus4 Am7 E/A Am7 D9/F#
Marries into what she needs, with a guarantee of company,
G9 G Gmaj7 G6 G G9 G Gmaj7 G6 G
And haven for the elder - ly | / / / / | / / / / |
[Verse 6]
G Bb6
Re - member those who win the game,
Am7 D7
Lose the love they sought to gain,
Gm7 Cm7 Gm7 Cm7
In debentures of quality, and dubious in - tegrity,
Ebmaj7 D7 Gm7
The small town eyes will gape at you ...in dull surprise,
Cm7 Am7 D9/F#
When payment due ...exceeds accounts received, at seventeen

[Verse 8]
G G9 G Gmaj7 G6 G A7sus4 Am7 E/A Am7
To those of us who knew the pain of Valen - tines that never came,
D9/F#
And those whose names were never called...
G9 G Gmaj7 G6 G
...When choosing sides for basket ball

[Verse 9]
G G9 G Gmaj7 G6
It was long a - go, and far a - way,
G A7sus4 Am7 E/A Am7
The world was younger than to - day,
D9/F#
And dreams were all they gave for free...
G9 G Gmaj7 G6 G G9 G Gmaj7 G6 G
...To ugly duckling girls ...like me
[Verse 10]
G Bb6
We all play the game,
Am7 D7
And when we dare to cheat ourselves at solitaire,
Gm7 Cm7 Gm7 Cm7
In - venting lovers on the phone, re - penting other lives unknown,
Ebmaj7 D7
That call and say, "Come dance with me!",
Gm7 Cm7
And murmur vague ob - senities,
Am7 D9/F#
At ugly girls like me ...at seventeen
