Capo on 2nd fret
Intro: F C Am G/B
He's still [F]driving that [C]1970 hand-me-[Am]down truck[G/B]
And he's st[F]ill wearing that red and black [C]jersey, just [Am]waiting for the band [G/B]to start up
He's still s[F]howing up twenty late, f[C]inding hearts and rules to break
[Am]Why would he wanna [G/B]change when
[F]Every memory still[C] bo[Am]ws to him[G/B]?
But this ain't [F]high school[C]
Where [Am]all you care about is if the[G/B] pretty cheerleader thinks yo[F]u're cool,
See her [C]Friday, t[Am]ake her out after the[G/B] football game
'Cause it's f[F]ive years [C]later and you c[Am]an't get off of the e[G/B]levator
That's going [F]up, 'cause you're [C]growing up
And the world gets c[Am]ruel when you're stil[G/B]l living in [F]high school[C]
He's still [F]calling that first love, [C]first time, pretty[Am]-eyed blonde[G/B]
And she's still [F]letting it ring 'cause his [C]ring isn't what[Am] she wants[G/B]
'Cause she [F]traded in prom queen[C] for a big city dr[Am]eam and a slate that's c[G/B]lean, but
[F]Your heart just don't get it and that's [C]why you can't forget it
'Cause you're[Am] living like you're sevent[G/B]een

You're still l[Am]iving in the [G/B]hallways, where e[C]verybody stopped and[G] stared
