Intro
G Gsus4
[Verse 1]
G
I asked her at a quarter to 3
I told her Coca-Cola is free
Gsus4 G
It's ok, I'm alright, You OK?, Come and spend the night
G
We jumped into the mystical sea
I told her "leave the rest up to me"
Gsus4 G
And we swam, and we kissed and we sunk into eternity
[Chorus]
C G Cdim A
I never knew that the sun would rise and could wash away this dream
Am C G
Breaking up is hard to do when you're 17
[Verse 2]
G
She handed me a note casually
She said meet her at a quarter to 3
Gsus4 G
So I went there alone and stood outside her history
G
It hit me like a punch in the face
She said the we should go our own ways
Gsus4 G
And I cried, and I smiled, and I died, I just faded away
[Chorus]
C G Cdim A
I never knew that the heart could break and the love could be so mean
Am C G
My heart stopped beating when I was 17
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
G
A# couple of days later gone by
Started getting back my appe-petite
Gsus4 G
So I cut me a piece of old fashioned american pie
G
I asked her at a quarter to 3
Wish I knew that n-n-nothing is free
Gsus4 G
Say hello, say goodbye, to the day that the summertime died
[Chorus]
C G Cdim A
I never knew that the sun would rise and could wash away this dream
Am C G
Life can be crazy when you're 17
