Tom : Am
[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
[Refrão]
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
[Próxima Parte]
( 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
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
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
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
Her right hand closed the front porch door
And suddenly a child no more
