Intro: F C Am G/B
F C Am G/B
He's still driving that 1970 hand-me-down truck
F C Am G/B
And he's still wearing that red and black jersey, waiting for the band to start up
F C
He's still showing up twenty late, finding hearts and rules to break
Am G/B
Why would he wanna change when
F C Am G/B
Every memory still bows to him?
F C
But this ain't high school
Am G/B F
Where all you care about is if the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool,

F C Am G/B
'Cause it's five years later and you can't get off of the elevator
F C
That's going up, 'cause you're growing up
Am G/B F C Am G/B
And the world gets cruel when you're still living in high school
F C Am G/B
He's still calling that first love, first time, pretty-eyed blonde
F C Am G/B
And she's still letting it ring 'cause his ring isn't what she wants
F C Am G/B
'Cause she traded in prom queen for a big city dream and a slate that's clean, but
F C
Your heart just don't get it and that's why you can't forget it
Am G/B
'Cause you're living like you're seventeen
