[Verse 1]
D                       G
Was it Tuesday night spaghetti dinners
D                     G
Mama said grace while daddy did a whiskey shot
D                        G
Up in your room learning Skinner and Hendrix
D                             G
On a cheap guitar, window open smoking pot


[Pre-Chorus]
Em                    D
Tomorrow you've got a chemistry test that you ain't gonna pass
Em                        D                        A
A whole lot's changed but really nothing's changed looking back....


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


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


[Pre-Chorus]
Em                                 D
That summer before senior year you lost a damn good friend
Em                                        A
And finally on Sunday morning you learned how to say amen


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


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


[Outro]
D    G

D                        G      D*
Yeah if you grew up like I did
