Bm    Bm/A   Bm/G#            G
Seventeen, I can't recall a thing
Bm        Bm/A      E/G#           G
I cry for help, but no one's ever listening
Bm             Bm/A            Bm/G#        G
My life moved faster than the speed of sound
             F#m       G  C#m7-5    B
Wish I could go there now and slow down

Ain't it strange, how people tend to change?
I hope she knows that I would never blame her
'Cause all she did was all she knew (Aah)
Oh, is it too late now to slow down?

Chorus:
       Em
All my life I've never had the chance
                      F#7
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
        G
No memories, like black and white TV
               D
And everybody says it'll be okay
     Em
Like life is just a game
    F#7
But I don't wanna play

Twenty-one, it should've been so fun
Cherry ripe, I wish I had more time
This summer skin, it fades too quick somehow (Aah)
Oh, is it too late now to slow down?

Chorus:
All my life, I've never had the chance
To stop and smell the flowers (Flowers)
All this time, I never got to sit
And dream away the hours
No memories, like black and white TV
And everybody says it'll be okay
Like life is just a game
But I don't wanna play

Bm       Bm/A
   Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
Bm/G#      G
   Ooh-oh, ah-ah-ah-ah
Bm       Bm/A
   Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
E/G#       G
   Ooh-oh, ah-ah-ah-ah
