Verse:
C#G#
I was a runaway and you were a queen
A#mF#
Our tongues tied in the mezzanine

We were free

No strings on you, no strings on me

I was a cannonball and you were the sea
A#mF#
When I crashed into your blue dream

We were free

Time takes no prisoners, youʼll see
Pre-chorus:
C#G#
When youʼre seventeen
A#mF#
The thought of a spark could start a fire
C#G#
Tube top and faded jeans
D#mF#
How we forget how we desire
Chorus:
C#G#
We were seventeen, seventeen
A#mF#
We had city dreams, city dreams
C#G#
We were seventeen, seventeen
A#mF#
We had city dreams, city dreams
