High School Sweetheart

[Intro] G


[Verse 1]
G
I wish I could write a letter to myself
      Cadd9
Cause I know I won’t listen to anyone else
   G
At 16, your biggest dream is wearing his leather man jacket
       Cadd9
You’re so in love, and breaking up is the worst thing that could ever happen
        Am7
Then it happens
           Cadd9
And you’re just too young to see
        Am7
Then it passes

[Chorus]
Cadd9*                                    G
Yeah I know that he broke your highschool sweetheart
                                           Em
And it feels like your life’s over before it starts
                                        Am
You think your whole world revolves in those hallways

But it won’t always
Cadd9
You’ll just have to trust me
                 *             G
One day it will just be highschool sweetheart

[Verse 2]
   G
If you could only see who you are now
      Cadd9
That quiet kind of confidence you found
G
One day, that boy, will just be a black and white picture
     Cadd9                 *
In a year book, you’ll hardly remember

[Chorus]
                              G
How he broke your highschool sweetheart
                                           Em
And it feels like your life’s over before it starts
                                        Am7
You think your whole world revolves in those hallways

But it won’t always
Cadd9
You’ll just have to trust me
               *                 G
One day it’ll just be highschool sweetheart
     Cadd9
Mmmm mmm sweetheart

[Bridge]
       Am7
I know you don’t wanna hear it
    C
But you’ll grow through the pain
Am7
You’ll find out one day
        C*
That he wasn’t the one anyway

[Chorus] (soft)
                                          G
Yeah I know that he broke your highschool sweetheart
                                          Cadd9
And it feels like your life’s over before it starts
                                       Am7
You think your whole world revolves in those hallways

But it won’t always
Cadd9
You’ll just have to trust me
*.                               G
One day it’ll just be highschool sweetheart
Cadd9
Mmmmm sweetheart

Mmmmmm

Mmmm
           G*
Mmmm sweet heart
