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
