G                 Bm 
Two young kids, a night in May 
  C                  
A country road and a Chevrolet, 
  G     D            G 
Beneath   the summer moon 
G               Bm 
Almost a woman, almost a man 
C 
Things like this get out of hand 
     G     D                G     
Seventeen,   and that?s too soon 
 

[Refrão]
                Em 
You can call it youth 
    C               G 
And blame it on the night 
                Em 
You can call it life  
    C                 G 
And say that it?s not right 
                Bm 
You can call it foolish 
         C      D        G 
Blame it on the stars above 
                 Em      D 
Call it what you want 
          C 
I call it love 
 
 
Blood runs high, and wrong or right 
They lose their heads, run off one night 
And what?s done can?t be undone 
Thinkin? life?s an easy thing 
A borrowed dress and a wedding ring 
Eighteen, and that?s too young 
 
Chorus 
 
Time goes on and in a while 
It?s a rented room and a month old child 
And they?re down 
To just gettin? by 
It?s hard to laugh when life?s that way 
People shake their heads and say 
They won?t make it 
Oh, but they might 
 
Chorus
