Verse 1
the
truth at seventeen
Dm
That love was meant for beauty queens
G
And high school girls with
clear -skinned smiles
C
Who married young and then retired
The valentines I never knew
Dm
The friday night charades of youth
G
Were spent on one more beautiful
I learned the truth
Eb
And those of us with ravaged faces
Dm
G
Lacking in the social graces
Cm
Fm
Desperately remained at home
Cm
Fm
Inventing lovers on the phone
Ab
G
Who called to say, come dance with me
Cm
Fm
And murmured vague obscenities
Dm
G
It isn't all it seems at seventeen
C
A brown -eyed girl with
hand -me -downs
Dm
Whose name I never could pronounce
G
Said, pity please the ones who serve
C
They only get what they deserve
And the rich, relationed, hometown queen
Dm
Marries into what she needs
G
With a guarantee of company
C
And a haven for the elderly
Eb
Remember those who win the game,
Dm
Ddim
G
Lose the love they sought to gain,
Cm
Fm
In derventures of quality and
Cm
Fm
dubious integrity,
Ab
G
Their small -town eyes will gape at you,
Cm
Fm
Indulge surprise when payments due,
Dm
G
exceed accounts received at seventeen.

Verse 2
C
To those of us who knew the pain
Dm
Of valentines that never came
were never called
C
When choosing sides for basketball
It was long ago and far away
Dm
The world was younger than today
G
An d dreams were all they gave for free
C
To ugly duckling girls like me
Eb
We all played the game
and when we dared
Dm
G
To cheat ourselves at solitaire
Cm
Fm
Inventing lovers on the phone
Cm

Repenting other lives unknown

And murmur vague obscenities
