[Verse]
C F C
Rowing the campground up by the lake where we swam.
F C
We were hunting for snakes,
F C
But we couldn't find them.
C
Surrounded by nothing,
F C
But the nothing's surrounded by us.
F C
But it's just me in my room,
F C
With my eyes shut.
[Chorus]
Am C
Oh when I was seventeen,
F C
My mother said to me
Am C F C
Don't stop imagining The day that you do is the day that you die.
Am C
Now I pull a wanton carriage,
F C
Instead of the horses, grazing along.
Am C
I was having fun.
F C
We were all having fun.
Am C F C (x2)
[Verse]
C F C
My brain kicking faster than I can, but not fast enough.
F C
Who is there to talk to
F C
That won't lock me up?
C F C
At least God doesn't judge me by the thoughts that aren't mine.
F C
The snakes I couldn't find,
F C
I don't want to find.
C Em F C (4x)
Ohhhhh
[Chorus]
Am C
Oh when I was seventeen,
F C
My mother said to me
Am C F C
Don't stop imagining The day that you do is the day that you die.
Am C
Now I pull a wanton carriage,
F C
Instead of the horses, grazing along.
Am C
I was having fun.
F C
We were all having fun.
