[Intro]
D D G G
[Verse 1]
D
Yeah it's easy to play pretend
D
When you're a wanna-be, know-it-all, Rebel kid
G
Drivin' a second-hand pick-up truck
G
That you bought wrecked
D
Friday night football lights
D
Saturday night keg-party dreams
G
She took a little piece of you when she
G
Gave back your class ring
Em
It wasn't the real thing
A
Just a practice swing
[Chorus]
D
Life was just a new song blarin' on the radio
G
Fake ID that worked at the Amoco
D
Wanted real money, borrowed time
G
First base, first love, up all night
D
Bendin' the rules, playin' the game
G
White lies, little sins fade away
D G
Everything about seventeen
D G
Is just a practice swing
[Verse 2]
D
Overnight it all changed
D
All the faces and all the names
G
Yeah everybody started keepin' score
G
In a rat race for a little more
D
But in my head I'm still that kid
D
Fight in this dog ain't got no quit
G
Man, I'd love to do it all again
G
Like I did way back when
[Chorus]
D
Life was just a new song blarin' on the radio
G
Fake ID that worked at the Amoco
D
Wanted real money, borrowed time
G
First base, first love, up all night
D
Bendin' the rules, playin' the game
G
White lies, little sins fade away
D G
Everything about seventeen
D G
Is just a practice swing
[Solo]
D G
[Chorus]
D
Life was just a new song blarin' on the radio
G
Fake ID that worked at the Amoco
D
Wanted real money, borrowed time
G
First base, first love, up all night
D
Bendin' the rules, playin' the game
G
White lies, little sins fade away
D G
Everything about seventeen
D G
Is just a practice swing (life was just a new song blaring on the radio)
[Outro]
D G
Is just a practice swing (fake ID that worked at the Amoco)
D G
Is just a practice swing (life was just a new song blaring on the radio)
D G D
Is just a practice swing (fake ID that worked at the Amoco)
