[Verse 1]
Bm      Bm/A    Bm/G#          G
   Seventeen, I can't recall a thing
Bm           Bm/A      E/G#          G
   A cry for help, but no one's ever listenin'
Bm               Bm/A            Bm/G#         G
   My life moved faster than the speed of sound
             F#m       G
Wish I could go there now
   C#m7b5  B
And slow.. down
 
 
[Verse 2]
Bm           Bm/A        Bm/G#         G
   Ain't it strange, how  people tend to change?
Bm          Bm/A       E/G#          G
  I hope she knows that I would never blame her
Bm               Bm/A            Bm/G#  G
  'Cause all she did was all she knew (Aah)
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
          F#m      G     C#m7b5 B    B7
Oh, is it too late now, to slow down?
 
 
[Chorus]
       Em
All my life I've never had the chance
                      F#
To stop and smell the flowers (Flowers)
         Bm                   Bm/A
All this time, I never got to sit
                   E/G#
And dream away the hours
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
       G
My memories, like black and white TV
              D
And everybody says it'll be okay
     Em
Like life is just a game
    F#
But I don't wanna play
 
Bm  Bm/A  Bm/G#  G
 
 
[Verse 3]
Bm        Bm/A    Bm/G#             G
   Twenty one, it should've been so fun
Bm        Bm/A   E/G#            G
   Cherry red, I wish I had more time
Bm        Bm/A               Bm/G#        G
   Saw my skin, it fades too quick somehow (Aah)
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
          F#m      G     C#m7b5 B    B7
Oh, is it too late now, to slow down?
 
 
[Chorus]
       Em
All my life I've never had the chance
                      F#
To stop and smell the flowers (Flowers)
         Bm                   Bm/A
All this time, I never got to sit
                   E/G#
And dream away the hours
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
       G
My memories, like black and white TV
              D
And everybody says it'll be okay
     Em
Like life is just a game
    F#
But I don't wanna play
 
Bm  Bm/A  Bm/G#  G
Oh
Bm  Bm/A  E/G#   G

Bm    Bm/A
   Ooh, oh-oh
Bm/G#        G
   Ooh, ooh, I don't wanna
Bm     Bm/A E/G#
   Ooh, ooh, ooh
G
I don't wanna
