Intro: C G C G C Her right hand closed the front porch door F G Suddenly a child no more C F G All the ribbons all the bows in a box now on her closet floor Am G Anxious for whats to come F G Afraid to leave a place she loves Am G Shes not a woman not a girl F G Trying to find her place in this crazy world Am G Meet a lover make a friend F G Try and figure out what this life really means After 17 ( C G ) C Broken hearts and rusted dreams F G Sometimes make it hard to leave and C F G Certainty is out of reach even with some self belief Am G So she bites her lip and shows a smile F G Flips her hair and flaunts her style Am G Shes not a woman not a girl F G Trying to find her place in this crazy world Am G Meet a lover make a friend F G Try and figure out what this life really means After 17 C Her memories she stowed away F G Pulls them out on rainy days C F G And brand new faces take their place beside the ones that never fade Am G Shes strong and fragile, weak and smart F G Whatever the cost she plays the part Am G Shes not a woman not a girl F G Trying to find her place in this crazy world Am G Meet a lover make a friend F G F Try and figure out what this life really means After 17 Her right hand closed the front porch door And suddenly a child no more
