[Verse 1]
[Gsus2]He's stil[D]l[Bm][A][G][Gsus2][D][Bm][A]
[G]driving [D]that 1970 [Bm]hand-me-down truck
truck
[A]And he's still wea[Gsus2]ring that
red and black [D]jersey
Wait[Bm]ing for the band to start [A]up
He's still [G]showing up twenty late,
[D]finding hearts and rules [Bm]to break
Why would he wanna [A]change when
[Gsus2]every memory sti[D]ll bows t[Bm]o him?
[A]But this ain't

[Verse 2]
[Gsus2]high scho[D]ol
Where all [Bm]you care about is if the p[A]retty
cheerleader thinks [Gsus2]you're cool
See her [D]Friday,
[Bm]take her out after the foot[A]ball game
'Cause [Gsus2]it's five years late[D]r and you
[Bm]can't get off of the [A]elevator
That's [G]going up,
'cause you're [D]growing up
And the world gets cruel when you're still
living in [Gsus2]high scho[D]ol[Bm]
[A]He's still

[Verse 3]
[G]calling that [Gsus2]first love,
[D]first time, pretty-eyed blonde
[Bm]blonde
[A]And she's still let[G]ting it ring 'cause his[D] ring
isn't what she [Bm]wants[A]
'Cause she [G]traded in prom
queen [D]for a big city dream
[Bm]And a slate that[A]'s clean, but
Your [G]heart just don't [Gsus2]get it and that's
[D]why you can't forget it
'Cause you're [Bm]living
like you're seventeen
[A]But this ain't

[Verse 4]
[Gsus2]high scho[D]ol
Where all [Bm]you care about is if the p[A]retty
cheerleader thinks [Gsus2]you're cool
[G]See her Fri[D]day,
[Bm]take her out after the foot[A]ball game
'Cause [G]it's five years [D]later and you
[Bm]can't get off of [A]the elevator
That's [G]going up, 'cause you're [D]growing
up and the [Bm]world gets cruel when
[A]You're still living in the

[Verse 5]
[Bm]hallways
[G]Where eve[D]rybody stopped and stared
[A]And cared and knew you[Bm]r name
[G]'Cause this is the real wor[D]ld
that don't know you like [A]that
You can re[Bm]member but
you can[A]'t go back

[Verse 6]
To [G]high [D]school
Where all [Bm]you care about is if the p[A]retty
cheerleader think[G]s you're cool
See [D]her Friday when you [Bm]take her out
after the foot[A]ball game
'Cause [G]it's five years [D]later and you
[Bm]can't get off of the [A]elevator
That's [G]going up,
'cause you're [D]growing up
And the [Bm]world gets cruel when [A]you're still
living in [G]high [D]school[Bm]
When you're [A]still living in it

[Verse 7]
[G]
Five years [D]later[Bm][A]
[G]Oh [D]yeah, oh [Bm]yeah[A]
He's still call[G]ing that first
[D]love, first time
And he hates he said [Bm]goodbye,
she went on [A]with her life
He's still driv[G]ing the same
[D]old back roads
Wondering when he [Bm]got so old
Where did his [A]life go?
Oh, but he [G]knows
Oh, [D]he knows
Yeah, [Bm]he knows
[A]That this ain't hig[G]h school,
[D]oh,[Bm] woah[A]
And he's still [G]driving [D]that 1970
[Bm]hand-me-down truck
truck
And he's [A]stuck in [G]high [D]school[Bm]
[A]But this ain[G]'t high school
