High School chords by Kelsea Ballerini (Ver. 2)

• Capo on 2nd

STRUMMING: I prefer to strum along (D DDU-next chord D), but most of the song
has the same picking patern, so shouldn't be too difficult to pick up :)


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,
    C    Am          G/B
See her Friday, take her out after the football game
       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

        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,
    C    Am          G/B
See her Friday, take her out after the football game
       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
And the world gets cruel when

       Am      G/B       C          G
You're still living in the hallways, where everybody stopped and stared
          Am
And cared and knew your name
G/B       C               G
'Cause this is the real world that don't know you like that
    Am        G/B
You can remember but you can't go back

  F      C
To high school
   Am             G/B             F
Where all you care about is if the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool,
    C    Am          G/B
See her Friday, take her out after the football game
       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
And the world gets cruel when you're still living in high school
Am          G/B     F       C   Am G/B
    When you're still living in, five years later

 F  C  Am  G/B
Oh yeah, oh yeaaaeehh
      F             C                Am
He's still calling that first love, first time, and he hates that he said goodbye
       G/B             F          C
And she went on with her life, he's still driving the same old back roads
        Am          G/B
When did he got so old, where did his life go?
    F      C       Am    G/B
Oh, but he knows, oh he knows, yeah he knows
        F     C  Am  G/B
That this ain’t high school, oh no
      F       C        Am       G/B   F     C  Am G/B
He's still driving that 1970 hand-me-down truck and he’s stuck in high school
        F
But this ain’t high school
