Chords with lyrics

INTRO: G+G D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA x2

VERSE:
       G+G      D MajorD      B minorBm   A augmentedA
He's still driving that 1970 hand-me-down truck
A augmentedA        G+G              D MajorD
And he's still wearing that red and black jersey
B minorBm              A augmentedA
Waiting for the band to start up
       G+G
He's still showing up twenty late,
D MajorD
Finding hearts and rules to break
B minorBm         A augmentedA
Why would he wanna change
   G+G      D MajorD     B minorBm  A augmentedA
When every memory still bows to him?

CHORUS:
         G+G    D MajorD
But this ain't high school
     B minorBm
Where all you care about is
     A augmentedA             G+G
If the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool
     D MajorD   B minorBm           A augmentedA
See her Friday, take her out after the football game
       G+G     D MajorD
'Cause it's five years later
     B minorBm          A augmentedA
And you can't get off of the elevator
     G+G            D MajorD
That's going up, 'cause you're growing up
      B minorBm
And the world gets cruel when
     A augmentedA       G+G   D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA
You're still living in high school

VERSE:
      G+G
He's still calling that first love,
D MajorD          B minorBm   A augmentedA
First time, pretty-eyed blonde
 A augmentedA         G+G
And she's still letting it ring
       D MajorD          B minorBm A augmentedA
'cause his ring isn't what she wants
       G+G          D MajorD
'Cause she traded in prom queen for a big city dream
B minorBm          A augmentedA
And a slate that's clean, but
    G+G
Your heart just don't get it
      D MajorD
And that's why you can't forget it
         B minorBm         A augmentedA
'Cause you're living like you're seventeen

CHORUS:
         G+G    D MajorD
But this ain't high school
     B minorBm
Where all you care about is
     A augmentedA             G+G
If the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool
     D MajorD   B minorBm           A augmentedA
See her Friday, take her out after the football game
       G+G     D MajorD
'Cause it's five years later
     B minorBm          A augmentedA
And you can't get off of the elevator
     G+G            D MajorD
That's going up, 'cause you're growing up
      B minorBm
And the world gets cruel when


BRIDGE:
 A augmentedA              B minorBm G+G
You're still living in the hallways
    D/F#D/F#          A augmentedA
Where everybody stopped and stared
         B minorBm    G+G
And cared and knew your name
          D MajorD
Cause this is the real world
           A augmentedA
That don't know you like that
      B minorBm      A augmentedA
You can remember but you can't go back

CHORUS:
         G+G    D MajorD
But this ain't high school
     B minorBm
Where all you care about is
     A augmentedA             G+G
If the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool
     D MajorD   B minorBm           A augmentedA
See her Friday, take her out after the football game
       G+G     D MajorD
'Cause it's five years later
     B minorBm          A augmentedA
And you can't get off of the elevator
     G+G            D MajorD
That's going up, 'cause you're growing up
      B minorBm
And the world gets cruel when
     A augmentedA       G+G   D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA
You're still living in high school

OUTRO:
      A augmentedA
When you're still living in...
G+G       D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA
Five years later
  G+G D MajorD   B minorBm A augmentedA
Oh yeah, oh yeah
       G+G           D MajorD
He's still calling that first love, first time
        B minorBm
And he hates he said goodbye,
       A augmentedA
She went on with her life
       G+G         D MajorD
He's still driving the same old back roads
           B minorBm
Wondering when he got so old
        A augmentedA
Where did his life go?
     G+G
Oh, but he knows
  D MajorD
Oh, he knows
    B minorBm   A augmentedA
Yeah, he knows
        G+G      D MajorD   B minorBm A augmentedA
That this ain't high school, oh, woah
         G+G      D MajorD      B minorBm
And he's still driving that 1970 hand-me-down truck
   A augmentedA      G+G    D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA
And he's stuck in high school
      G+G
But this ain't high school
