High School chords by Kelsea Ballerini

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

• Capo on 2nd

STRUMMING: I prefer to strum along (D MajorD DDU-next chord D MajorD), but most of the song
has the same picking patern, so shouldn't be too difficult to pick up :)


Intro: FF C majorC A minorAm G/BG/B

      FF      C majorC      A minorAm     G/BG/B
He's still driving that 1970 hand-me-down truck
      FF               C majorC      A minorAm          G/BG/B
And he's still wearing that red and black jersey, waiting for the band to start up
      FF            C majorC
He's still showing up twenty late, finding hearts and rules to break
A minorAm         G/BG/B
Why would he wanna change when
FF         C majorC A minorAm    G/BG/B
Every memory still bows to him?

        FF      C majorC
But this ain't high school
   A minorAm             G/BG/B             FF
Where all you care about is if the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool,
    C majorC    A minorAm          G/BG/B
See her Friday, take her out after the football game
       FF     C majorC       A minorAm          G/BG/B
'Cause it's five years later and you can't get off of the elevator
       FF         C majorC
That's going up, 'cause you're growing up
          A minorAm          G/BG/B     FF     C majorC  A minorAm  G/BG/B
And the world gets cruel when you're still living in high school

      FF            C majorC         A minorAm     G/BG/B
He's still calling that first love, first time, pretty-eyed blonde
        FF             C majorC       A minorAm     G/BG/B
And she's still letting it ring 'cause his ring isn't what she wants
      FF          C majorC         A minorAm           G/BG/B
'Cause she traded in prom queen for a big city dream and a slate that's clean, but
FF                    C majorC
Your heart just don't get it and that's why you can't forget it
       A minorAm            G/BG/B
'Cause you're living like you're seventeen

        FF      C majorC
But this ain't high school
   A minorAm             G/BG/B             FF
Where all you care about is if the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool,
    C majorC    A minorAm          G/BG/B
See her Friday, take her out after the football game
       FF     C majorC       A minorAm          G/BG/B
'Cause it's five years later and you can't get off of the elevator
       FF         C majorC
That's going up, 'cause you're growing up
          A minorAm          G/BG/B
And the world gets cruel when

       A minorAm      G/BG/B       C majorC          G+G
You're still living in the hallways, where everybody stopped and stared
          A minorAm
And cared and knew your name
G/BG/B       C majorC               G+G
'Cause this is the real world that don't know you like that
    A minorAm        G/BG/B
You can remember but you can't go back

  FF      C majorC
To high school
   A minorAm             G/BG/B             FF
Where all you care about is if the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool,
    C majorC    A minorAm          G/BG/B
See her Friday, take her out after the football game
       FF     C majorC       A minorAm          G/BG/B
'Cause it's five years later and you can't get off of the elevator
       FF         C majorC
That's going up, 'cause you're growing up
          A minorAm          G/BG/B     FF     C majorC
And the world gets cruel when you're still living in high school
A minorAm          G/BG/B     FF       C majorC   A minorAm G/BG/B
    When you're still living in, five years later

 FF  C majorC  A minorAm  G/BG/B
Oh yeah, oh yeaaaeehh
      FF             C majorC                A minorAm
He's still calling that first love, first time, and he hates that he said goodbye
       G/BG/B             FF          C majorC
And she went on with her life, he's still driving the same old back roads
        A minorAm          G/BG/B
When did he got so old, where did his life go?
    FF      C majorC       A minorAm    G/BG/B
Oh, but he knows, oh he knows, yeah he knows
        FF     C majorC  A minorAm  G/BG/B
That this ain’t high school, oh no
      FF       C majorC        A minorAm       G/BG/B   FF     C majorC  A minorAm G/BG/B
He's still driving that 1970 hand-me-down truck and he’s stuck in high school
        FF
But this ain’t high school
