[Verse 1]
[G]Dear seventeen,
you're turning [Csus2]twenty four on[G] Sunday
You're readily rejecting
[Csus2]aging on this one[G] day
[Asus4]Dear seventeen,
you [D]live [Csus2]at home still over half a decade l[G]ater[D][G]
Don't [Asus4]get scared,
just be pre[G]pared
Here's [Csus2]some advice to savour

[Verse 2]
[G]Dear seventeen,
[Csus2]reality's you don't make [G]money
It's never been enough [Csus2]to make
you wanna throw [G]in the towel, honey
[Am]But after you break onto the scene
[Csus2]You play arenas as[G] an ope[Csus2]ner[G]
[Am]You tour the states with
famous [Csus2]mates of yours
Go broke, but it's [G]the job yo
U held out hope [Csus2]for
I'm just [G]stating the facts
Sweet brunette [Dm]dream, miss seventeen

[Verse 3]
[Csus2]
I could resent you, but I won't
[G]It don't take muc[Dm]h to say with love

song you wro[G]te"
Up on cloud [Dm]nine,
[D]the weather's [Csus2]fine I know
Believe me I recall
[Am]Dear seventeen,
don't change a thing
[Csus2]When you don't know a th[D]ing at all
[G][Csus2][G][Am][Csus2][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]Dear seventeen, you'll date [Csus2]a man
twelve years your [G]senior
You're yet to meet,
but in a year's [Csus2]time
Though you should [G]steer clear
[Asus4]You'll think you're well equi[Am]pped
So he [Csus2]give
S you the world then makes it shat[G]ter
[Asus4]He'll wear you out
You'll slim [Am]right down
[Cm]Back to the size you w[Csus2]ere before
[G]he said that [Csus2]mattered
Yeah, I'll [G]leave it at that

[Verse 5]
'Cause [G]sweet brunette [Dm]dream,
