[Intro]
| G | Gmaj7 | C | Cmmaj7
[Verse 1]
G Gmaj7
I still admire the spots on your face
C
and the detail in your eyes,
Cmmaj7
and your brown freckled thighs
G Gmaj7
I’d still tame your eyebrows with my thumb
C
maybe perfectly out of place
Cmmaj7
I reminisce on the shape of your face
[Chorus]
C Cmmaj7
When time ages us far from that July
G Gmaj7
you stay seventeen in my mind
C Cmmaj7**
And when I dream of you, you’re still mine, mine...
[Instrumental]
| G | Gmaj7 | C | Cmmaj7
[Verse 2]
G Gmaj7
I still drive past the swing-set that we liked
C
and I swore I saw you once
Cmmaj7
up on that hill where we rode our bikes
G Gmaj7
‘Cause I still look for you in everyone I meet
C
but no one can have your expertise
Cmmaj7**
in the way you naturally looked at me...
[Chorus]
N.C.
Oooohh
C Cmmaj7
And even when time ages us far from that July
G Gmaj7
you stay seventeen in my eyes
C Cmmaj7
And when I dream of you, you’re still mine, mine
G Gmaj7 C Cmmaj7
Mine, oooohhh
G Gmaj7 C Cmmaj7**
(Half-time, same strumming pattern but one bar per chord)
C Cmmaj7*
So if you think of me, I’m probably thinking of you
G Gmaj7
We can be seventeen in our minds for a lifetime
C Cmmaj7*
When I dream of you, frozen in time,
G Gmaj7
you’re all mine
C* Cmmaj7*
When I dream of you, frozen in time, you’re all mine...
