I was a runaway and you were a queen
BmG
Our tongues tied in the mezzanine
BmA
We were free
GA
No strings on you, no strings on me

I was a cannonball and you were the sea

We were free

Time takes no prisoners, youʼll see

When youʼre seventeen

DA
Tube top and faded jeans
EmG
How we forget how we desire
Chorus:
DA
We were seventeen, seventeen
BmG
We had city dreams, city dreams
DA
We were seventeen, seventeen
BmG
We had city dreams, city dreams

Time takes no prisoners, youʼll see
