VERSE 1:
D

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

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

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

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

BRIDGE:
Fm                 G
I got married to a sweet, young girl
Fm                       G
And kept driving for the line
Fm                    G
Your husband made his mark on the world
Em               A
Then he left you behind

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

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

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

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