VERSE:
 E
Twenty eight shouldn't look this old

But the last ten years sure took their toll
    A
On the girl in the picture with the plastic crown
    E
That sequin dress wouldn't fit her now
 F#m
Like it did
  B
Before the kids


VERSE:
     E
Yea she loves her husband ‘cause she said she would

Oh it ain't so bad but it ain't so good
   A
She swore she wouldn't get stuck in this town
      E
Now she's cutting coupons two doors down
 F#m
From a mall
  B
And it goes on


CHORUS:
   A
Yea too bad love ain't a local parade

In your uncle's Corvette on a Saturday
   E
With all the little girls waiting on you to wave
 Dbm
When you're 17
      A
You don't know
         B
You won't always be
       E
Homecoming queen


VERSE:
 E
Newspaper clipping and a sash in a box

Are the only things that didn't get lost
   A
She married a guy on the real estate sign
     E
And it's hard to believe once upon a time
     F#m
She was royalty
     B
The girl we all wanted to be


CHORUS:
   A
Yea too bad love ain't a local parade

In your uncle's Corvette on a Saturday
   E
With all the little girls waiting on you to wave
 Dbm
When you're 17
      A
You don't know
           B
That you won't always be
       A
Homecoming queen


BRIDGE:
    A       E
Or the captain of the team
           F#m
And it ain't what it seems
           B  A E G A B
It’s just a teenage dream


CHORUS:
   A
Yea too bad love ain't a local parade

In your uncle's Corvette on a Saturday
   E
With all the little girls waiting on you to wave
 Dbm
When you're 17
      A
You don't know
         B
You won't always be
      DbM
You don't know
         B
You won't always be
      E
Homecoming queen
