We were high school friends and high school lovers
Fmaj7                                     Am7
Got a fifth of jack from your big brother
        G             Fmaj7
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
C/G
Didn't know that cop was undercover
Fmaj7                                            Am7
'Til he pressed your hands against each other, oh
        G             Fmaj7
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
C/G
Because you were my very first love
     Fmaj7
And I thought you'd be my last
       Am7            G            Fmaj7
'Til I found out that days go fast


[Chorus]
           Am7
How did we get here?
          G
How do we get back?
             Fmaj7
Wish I could do it all again
             Am7
We were just kids then
          G
Doing our best when
           Fmaj7
All of the rest got in the way
              Am7
And I miss my best friend
             G
Drunk at the dead end
           Fmaj7
All of our stress would melt away
           Am7
How did we get here?
          G
How do we get back?
C
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Cmaj7
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Am7       G
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Am7
Oh-oh-mmm


[Verse 2]
C/G
We were high school friends and high school lovers
Fmaj7                                            Am7
When the bell would ring we'd find each other, oh
        G             Fmaj7
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
C/G
Oh, imagine if we went to the same college
Fmaj7
Would we still lock lips
         N.C.              Am7
Or maybe you would hate my guts
   G                  Fmaj7
Oh no, we'll never know


[Chorus]
           Am7
How did we get here?
          G
How do we get back?
             Fmaj7
Wish I could do it all again
             Am7
We were just kids then
          G
Doing our best when
           Fmaj7
All of the rest got in the way
              Am7
And I miss my best friend
             G
Drunk at the dead end
           Fmaj7
All of our stress would melt away
           Am7
How did we get here?
          G
How do we get back?
C
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Cmaj7
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Am7       G
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Am7
Oh-oh-mmm
