Tom: Em
G B7
Seventeen, back when we used to know everything
Hanging at the corner store
Em C
We believed we ran the town
G D
We even had our very own couch at the coffee shop
G B7
Holding hands on the way to after school marching band
Em
Skipping stones and telling jokes to hide the fact
C
I wanted you bad
G D
Oh but I never could find the right thing to say
[Pre-Chorus]
G B7 C
Love could be in vain
D
Or maybe baby then again
G B7 C
I could change your name
D
But only if you wanted it
G B7 C D
Life would stay the same
G B7 C D
Except everything, everything, everything
N.C.
Would be different
[Chorus]
G D
High school halls
Em C
Yearbook pictures, trophy walls
G
Punks, jocks, and preppy kids
D
Know-it-alls
Em
Prom kings and pregnant girls
D
Parking lots
G D C D
This is where we’d swear the world ended
[Verse 2]
G B7
Twenty-six, finding out how little I give a shit
Em
About the catastrophes and dramatics
C
We had back then
G D
Cause now I only see it when it shows up on the Internet
G B7
Jane’s got kids, Mark’s done three years in a five-to-ten
Em
Hey, looks like you’re getting hitched again
C
Well that makes sense
G
I hope it works out this time
D
As for me, I’m doing fine
[Pre-Chorus]
G B7 C
Love could be in vain
D
Or maybe baby then again
G B7 C
I could change your name
D
But only if you wanted it
G B7 C D
Life would stay the same
G B7 C D
Except everything, everything, everything
N.C.
Would be different
[Chorus]
G D
High school halls
Em C
Yearbook pictures, trophy walls
G
Punks, jocks, and preppy kids
D
Know-it-alls
Em
Prom kings and pregnant girls
D
Parking lots
G D C D
This is where we’d swear the world ended
[Pre-Chorus]
G B7 C
Love could be in vain
D
Or maybe baby then again
G B7 C
I could change your name
D
But only if you wanted it
G B7 C D
Life would stay the same
G B7 C D
Except everything, everything, everything
N.C.
Would be different
