[Intro :]
B F# E ( x4 )
C#m E

[Verse 1 :]
B E
I say,.. here stand I
B F# E
I can't do otherwise
C#m E
But is it enough?
C#m E
And why'd you look so tough?
B F# E
Back at Patrick Park
B F# E
We stood in the dark
C#m E
In my beer-stained mind
C#m E
I said "please won't you be mine?"

[Chorus :]
B E C#m E
There's something dark hangin' over my head
B E C#m E
I'm seventeen,.. don't hold your breath
B E C#m E
There's something dark hangin' over my head
B E C#m E
I'm seventeen,.. don't hold your breath

[Verse 2 :]
B F# E
On the high school lot
B F# E
You'd kiss me so long
C#m E
But lessons don't last
C#m E
When I'm playing you so fast

[Chorus :]
B E C#m E
There's something dark hangin' over my head
B E C#m E
I'm seventeen,.. don't hold your breath
B E C#m E
There's something dark hangin' over my head
B E C#m E
I'm seventeen,.. don't hold your breath

[Verse 3 :]
B F# E
Punch and first collapse
B F# E
Drunk at winter dance
C#m E
Looks in red dress
C#m
Oh,.. what an awful mess

[Chorus :]
B E C#m E
There's something dark hangin' over my head
B E C#m E
I'm seventeen,.. don't hold your breath
B E C#m E
There's something dark hangin' over my head
B E C#m E
I'm seventeen,.. don't hold your breath
