[Verse 1]
C#
I asked her at a quarter to 3
I told her Coca-Cola is free
C#sus4 C#
It's ok, I'm alright, You OK?, Come and spend the night
C#
We jumped into the mystical sea
I told her "leave the rest up to me"
C#sus4 C#
And we swam, and we kissed and we sunk into eternity
[Chorus]
F# C# Cdim D#
I never knew that the sun would rise and could wash away this dream
D#m F# C#
Breaking up is hard to do when you're 17
[Verse 2]
C#
She handed me a note casually
She said meet her at a quarter to 3
C#sus4 C#
So I went there alone and stood outside her history
C#
It hit me like a punch in the face
She said the we should go our own ways
C#sus4 C#
And I cried, and I smiled, and I died, I just faded away
[Chorus]
F# C# Cdim D#
I never knew that the heart could break and the love could be so mean
D#m F# C#
My heart stopped beating when I was 17
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
C#
E couple of days later gone by
Started getting back my appe-petite
C#sus4 C#
So I cut me a piece of old fashioned american pie
C#
I asked her at a quarter to 3
Wish I knew that n-n-nothing is free
C#sus4 C#
Say hello, say goodbye, to the day that the summertime died
[Chorus]
F# C# Cdim D#
I never knew that the sun would rise and could wash away this dream
D#m F# C#
Life can be crazy when you're 17
