Intro [G]*[C]**[G]*[C]*
[G]Sirens wail and a flashing light
[G]Nothing better to do on a Tuesday ni[C]ght
But give me h[G]ell
[G]Where ya headed, what are you out for
[G]Don't see much of you 'round here any[C]more
I guess it's just as w[G]ell
[D]Once upon a time yo[C]u had it all
[D]You let everybody d[C]own
[D]You're always sevente[C]en in your homet[G]own.

(Chorus)
[D]Running from your fo[C]lks, running from the l[G]aw
[D]Running from lo[C]ve, running from your f[G]ears, running from it [D]all
[C]You keep on ru[D]nning, boy
        [G]           [G/f#]     [Em]
You'll run yourself in the ground
[D]You're always sev[C]enteen in your ho[G]metown

[G]Her porch swing still looks the same
[G]She probably won't even remember my n[C]ame
Just like she didn't back the[G]n
[G]Is she married, is she doing fine
[G]Does she known about all the nights I laid awake cr[C]yin'
Just to know her h[G]and
[D]The door opens and [C]I run away
[D]Just like the same old c[C]lown
[D]You're always s[C]eventeen in your homet[G]own

(Repeat Chorus)

[G]Nobody is gonna miss me
[G]No tears will fall, no one's gonna w[C]eep
When I hit that ro[G]ad
[G]My boots are broken, my brain is sore                        [G]
From keeping up with their little world            [C]
I've got a heavy l[G]oad
[D]Gonna leave 'em all just li[C]ke before
[D]I'm big city b[C]ound
[D]You're always s[C]eventeen in your homet[G]own

(Repeat Chorus)
