G              E                Am
Was it Tuesday night spaghetti dinners
G               E                 Am
Mama said grace while daddy did a whiskey shot
G               E                 Am
Up in your room learning Skinner and Hendrix
G                E             Am
On a cheap guitar, window open smoking pot

[Pre Chorus 1]
G                     E                   Am
Tomorrow you've got a chemistry test that you ain't gonna pass
G                     E                       Am
A  whole lot's changed but nothing's changed looking back....

[Chorus]
G              E                Am
Ain't life just like high school sometimes
G              E                Am
Probably sittin' in the back of the cafeteria by yourself
G              E                Am
Feeling like the fast girl, the math nerd, the fat kid
G              E                Am
If you grew up in a small town in a big world like I did
G                         E Am
If you grew up like I did

[Verse 2]
G                       E                Am
Was it dirt roads that you lived for on friday night
G              E                Am
A Texaco rose walking up to her front door
G                  E                Am
Was it parking lots and freedom and busch light
G              E                Am
Knowing that the way you felt was a way you never felt before

[Pre Chorus 2]
G              E                Am
That summer before senior year you lost a damn good friend
G              E                Am
And finally on Sunday morning you learned how to say amen

[Chorus]
G              E                Am
Ain't life just like high school sometimes
G              E                Am
Probably sittin' in the back of the cafeteria by yourself
G              E                Am
Feeling like the fast girl, the math nerd, the fat kid
G              E                Am
If you grew up in a small town in a big world like I did
G                         E Am
If you grew up like I did


[Chorus 2]
G                   E                Am
Ain't life just like high school sometimes
G                      E                Am
Probably sittin' in the back of the cafeteria by yourself
G                    E                Am
Ain't we all the QB, the prom queen, rootin for the home team
G                          E                Am
Feelin' like the fast girl, the math nerd, the fat kid
G                               E                     Am
If you grew up in a nowhere town in an anywhere world like I did
G                        E Am
If you grew up like I did
