[Verse 1]
D                              G               A
You wake up in the morning and another night's gone.
D                                  G     A
You tumble out of bed and turn the radio on.
        Em                         Bm
But you just can't think about the day to come,
             G                               A
Cause you're thinking about them high school nights.

[Verse 2]
D                           G        A
Making all the moves, gotta do it in style.
   D                            G        A
It merely makes the high school day worthwhile.
         Em                      Bm
When the work piles high and the day drags by,
        G                     A
And you never see the end in sight.

The day moves ahead about a light-year long.
D                                   G           A
You hurry through the halls singing your school song.
        Em                         Bm
But you just can't follow what the hell's going on,
             G                               A
Cause you're thinking 'bout them high school nights.

[Verse 4]
D                           G        A
Staring out the window in a daydream world.
D                           G                A
Looking at the parking lot, checking out the girls.
          Em                      Bm
There's a lesson going on, but it ain't getting heard,
             G                          A
Cause you're wondering what'll happen tonight.

High school nights, we had it made.
     D           G                      A
Them high school nights, those were the days.
     D           G                    E                 A

[Bridge]
                         G D A                     G D A
That's how it used to be,    pity it couldn't last.
                                 G D A
Better days have stopped the flow       of parties and livin' fast.

D                                G                A
The dean's in his office and the writing's on the wall.
D                           G               A
Some of us will make it and someone's gonna fall.
       Em                              Bm
But it really don't matter cause we're gonna have a ball,
        G                       A
When we hit another high school night.
