No capo
[Verse 1]
G
Dear seventeen, you're turning twenty four on Sunday
G
You're readily rejecting aging on this one day
C G
Dear seventeen, you live at home still over half a decade later
C
Don't get scared, just be prepared
C
Here's some advice to savour
[Verse 2]
G
Dear seventeen, reality's you don't make money
G
It's never been enough to make you wanna throw in the towel, honey
C
But after you break onto the scene
C G
You play arenas as an opener
C
You tour the states with famous mates of yours
C G
Go broke, but it's the job you held out hope for
G
I'm just stating the facts
[Chorus]
G Dm C
Sweet brunette dream, miss seventeen
C
I could resent you, but I won't
G Dm C
It don't take much to say with love
C
"Screw you and that good song you wrote"
G Dm C
Up on cloud nine, the weather's fine I know
C
Believe me I recall
Am D
Dear seventeen, don't change a thing
G
When you don't know a thing at all
[Verse 3]
G
Dear seventeen, you'll date a man twelve years your senior
G
You're yet to meet, but in a year's time
G
Though you should steer clear
C
You'll think you're well equipped
C G
So he gives you the world then makes it shatter
C
He'll wear you out
C
You'll slim right down
C G
Back to the size you were before he said that mattered
G
Yeah, I'll leave it at that
[Chorus]
G Dm C
'Cause sweet brunette dream, miss seventeen
C
I could keep venting, but I won't
G Dm C
It don't take much to say with love
C
"Screw you and that good song you wrote"
G Dm C
Up on cloud nine, the weather's fine
C
Until someone makes you feel small
Am D
Dear seventeen, don't change a thing
D
He doesn't know a thing at all
[Verse 4]
G
Dear seventeen, we made the album and it did pretty well
G
And you best believe the writer's block subsides
G
There are too many tales to tell
C
You see the world, you make this last
C G
You share your craft with new creators
C
Your best friends stick around, your sister's proud
C G
And have no doubt you're still obsessed with Taylor
G
Baby, I got your back
[Chorus]
G Dm C
Sweet brunette dream, miss seventeen
C
I could resent you but I'll never
G Dm C
It don't take much to say with love
C
"That song was good, but you'll write better"
G Dm C
Up on cloud nine, the weather's fine I know
C Am
But there is so much more
Am D
Dear seventeen, don't change a thing
D Am
When you don't look before you fall
Am D
Dear seventeen, don't change a thing
D G
When you don't know a thing at all
