[C]Rowing the campground up by the [F]lake where we [C]swam.
We were [F]hunting for [C]snakes,
But we c[F]ouldn't find [C]them.
[C]Surrounded by nothing,
But the nothing's s[F]urrounded by [C]us.
But it's just [F]me in my r[C]oom,
[F]With my ey[C]es shut.

[CHORUS]

Oh when [Am]I was [C]seventeen,
My [F]mother [C]said to me
[Am]Don't stop [C]imagining The [F]day that you do is the [C]day that you die.
Now [Am]I pull a [C]wanton carriage,
Ins[F]tead of the horses, [C]grazing along.
[Am]I was [C]having fun.
[F]We were all having [C]fun.

[Am] [C] [F] [C] (x2)

My [C]brain kicking faster than I can, but not fast eno[F]ugh. [C]
[F]Who is there to [C]talk to
That [F]won't lock me [C]up?
At [C]least God doesn't judge me by the [F]thoughts that aren't [C]mine.
The snakes [F]I couldn't [C]find,
I [F]don't want to [C]find.

[C] [Am] [F] [C] (4x)
Ohhhhh

[CHORUS]

Oh when [Am]I was [C]seventeen,
My [F]mother [C]said to me
[Am]Don't stop [C]imagining The [F]day that you do is the [C]day that you die.
Now [Am]I pull a [C]wanton carriage,
Ins[F]tead of the horses, [C]grazing along.
[Am]I was [C]having fun.
[F]We were all having [C]fun.
