[Verse]
C                                F             C
Roaming the campground up by the lake where we swam
        F           C
We were hunting for snakes,
        F            C
But we couldn't find them
C
Surrounded by nothing,
                   F            C
But the nothing's surrounded by us
              F         C
But it's just me in my room,
F         C
With my eyes shut
 
 
[Chorus]
        Am    C
Oh when I was seventeen,
   F      C
My mother said to me
 Am         C             F                      C
"Don't stop imagining the day that you do is the day that you die"
    Am       C
Now I pull a one-ton carriage,
   F                   C
Instead of the horses, grazing the lawn
    Am    C
And I was having fun
F                  C
We were all having fun
 
 
Am  C  F  C (x2)
 
 
[Verse]
   C                                                F       C
My brain can think faster than I can, I'm  not fast enough
F               C
Who is there to talk to
     F             C
That won't lock me up?
   C                                 F                    C
At least God doesn't judge me by the thoughts that aren't mine
           F          C
The snakes I couldn't find,
  F             C
I don't want to find
 
 
C   Em   F   C (4x)
Ohhhhh
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        Am    C
Oh when I was seventeen,
   F      C
My mother said to me
Am         C             F                      C
Don't stop imagining The day that you do is the day that you die
    Am       C
Now I pull a one-ton carriage,
   F                   C
Instead of the horses, grazing the lawn
Am    C
I was having fun
F                  C
We were all having fun
