        D  G  A


D              Bm       G 
I was lousy at math, a failed 
        A
historian

D       Bm       G      A
Carlene was the valedictorian

       D         Bm           G  
I was the quarterback in the back
     A
 of class

    D            Bm      G       
She was the whiz kid in horned 
   A     D   G   A
rim glasses

D                Bm          G  
It's been a long time since I've
        A
 been around

D               Bm      G  
Since I stepped foot on my old 
      A
stomping ground

D       Bm         G          A
I ended up by the old school yard

          D             Bm       
And this red head pulls up in a 
G          A
blue sports car

           Em         D           
And says, "I bet you don't 
  G              A
remember, I guess it's been 
forever."

Em         F#m       G     
It took a second to put it all 
      A
together and I said...

D      A     G
