High School chords by Kelsea Ballerini

INTRO: G D Bm A x2

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

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

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


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


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

CHORUS:
                 G        D
But this ain't high school
         Bm
Where all you care about is

If the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool
          D     Bm                      A
See her Friday, take her out after the football game
              G          D
'Cause it's five years later
         Bm                    A
And you can't get off of the elevator
          G                        D
That's going up, 'cause you're growing up
           Bm
And the world gets cruel when
          A              G     D Bm A
You're still living in high school

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