VERSE 1:
D MajorD
I can remember us cruising through town
D MajorD
In your daddy's car with the top pulled down
    G+G
Looking so cool
D MajorD
We came from different sides of the track
D MajorD
But we still held hands out back
    G+G
Of the old school

  A augmentedA         B minorBm
We spent all our time together
A augmentedA          B minorBm
Laughing and having fun
  A augmentedA          B minorBm
We swore that we'd love forever
    G+G              A augmentedA
'Cause that was the way things were done
    D MajorD       G+G
At the old school

VERSE 2:
D MajorD
We both made it to our graduation
D MajorD
You chose a college I chose a vocation
    G+G
Driving eighteen wheels
D MajorD
I became a part of your past
D MajorD
You went and married some guy in your class
     G+G
He was a big deal

   A augmentedA           B minorBm
Your picture was in all the papers
  A augmentedA         B minorBm
You made such a lovely bride
   A augmentedA          B minorBm
They said you were going places
  G+G           A augmentedA
But me, I just went for a ride
      D MajorD
Down by the old school

BRIDGE:
F minorFm         G+G
I got married to a sweet, young girl
F minorFm            G+G
And kept driving for the line
F minorFm          G+G
Your husband made his mark on the world
E minorEm        A augmentedA
Then he left you behind

    D MajorD
In the big house
     G+G    D MajorD
With the swimming pool
D MajorD
Now you drive your kids
      G+G  D MajorD       G+G
Down to the old school

VERSE 3:
D MajorD
Now here we are at the reunion of the class
D MajorD
You ask my wife if we could have one dance
    G+G
For the old times
D MajorD
We're slow dancing across the old gym floor
D MajorD
You whisper it could be just like before
     G+G
"Call me sometime"

A augmentedA         B minorBm
You ask if I understand you
   A augmentedA        B minorBm
Well, yes I'm afraid I do
A augmentedA         B minorBm
You say everybody does it
G+G             A augmentedA
Well, I don't care if they do

OUTRO:
       D MajorD
I'm from the old school
D MajorD
I'm from the old school
D MajorD
Where hearts stay true
D MajorD
I'm from the old school
     G+G
I thought you were too
