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

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