High School chords by Kelsea Ballerini

INTRO: G D Bm A x2

VERSE:
       G      D      Bm   A
He's still driving that 1970 hand-me-down truck
A        G              D
And he's still wearing that red and black jersey
Bm              A
Waiting for the band to start up
       G
He's still showing up twenty late,
D
Finding hearts and rules to break
Bm         A
Why would he wanna change
   G      D     Bm  A
When every memory still bows to him?

CHORUS:
         G    D
But this ain't high school
     Bm
Where all you care about is
     A             G
If the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool
     D   Bm           A
See her Friday, take her out after the football game
       G     D
'Cause it's five years later
     Bm          A
And you can't get off of the elevator
     G            D
That's going up, 'cause you're growing up
      Bm
And the world gets cruel when
     A       G   D Bm A
You're still living in high school

VERSE:
      G
He's still calling that first love,
D          Bm   A
First time, pretty-eyed blonde
 A         G
And she's still letting it ring
       D          Bm A
'cause his ring isn't what she wants
       G          D
'Cause she traded in prom queen for a big city dream
Bm          A
And a slate that's clean, but
    G
Your heart just don't get it
      D
And that's why you can't forget it
         Bm         A
'Cause you're living like you're seventeen


CHORUS:
         G    D
But this ain't high school
     Bm
Where all you care about is
     A             G
If the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool
     D   Bm           A
See her Friday, take her out after the football game
       G     D
'Cause it's five years later
     Bm          A
And you can't get off of the elevator
     G            D
That's going up, 'cause you're growing up
      Bm
And the world gets cruel when


BRIDGE:
 A              Bm G
You're still living in the hallways
    D/F#          A
Where everybody stopped and stared
         Bm    G
And cared and knew your name
          D
Cause this is the real world
           A
That don't know you like that
      Bm      A
You can remember but you can't go back

CHORUS:
         G    D
But this ain't high school
     Bm
Where all you care about is
     A             G
If the pretty cheerleader thinks you're cool
     D   Bm           A
See her Friday, take her out after the football game
       G     D
'Cause it's five years later
     Bm          A
And you can't get off of the elevator
     G            D
That's going up, 'cause you're growing up
      Bm
And the world gets cruel when
     A       G   D Bm A
You're still living in high school

OUTRO:
      A
When you're still living in...
G       D Bm A
Five years later
  G D   Bm A
Oh yeah, oh yeah
       G           D
He's still calling that first love, first time
        Bm
And he hates he said goodbye,
       A
She went on with her life
       G         D
He's still driving the same old back roads
           Bm
Wondering when he got so old
        A
Where did his life go?
     G
Oh, but he knows
  D
Oh, he knows
    Bm   A
Yeah, he knows
        G      D   Bm A
That this ain't high school, oh, woah
         G      D      Bm
And he's still driving that 1970 hand-me-down truck
   A      G    D Bm A
And he's stuck in high school
      G
But this ain't high school
