Verse 1
D                             G            D
He grew up in the sunset, the wind at his back
D                           A              D
He longed to remember, some things in our past
D               G                        D
Were both over thirty, but still seventeen
D                         A                        D
Just tryin to hold on to some old high school dream

Chorus:
D                  G                                  
Well thereve been women and lovers 
            D
and lots of miles in between
              Bm
Thereve been barrooms and bedrooms 
            A    
and lots of nights with Jim Beam
     G                     D                     Bm
Been tequila sunrises and times I wish Id never seen,
         C                              
But its hard to act thirty, 
          G        A             D
When your dancin to sweet seventeen

Verse 2

Now theres two wives and six kids 
And miles in between us
And no time for us anymore
All the wild nights and barfights 
And ditches and bluelights
Are a million dark nights from before

Repeat chorus:

Oh its hard to act thirty when youre dancing to sweet seventeen
