High School Sweetheart

[Intro] G


[Verse 1]
G
I wish I could write a letter to 
myself
      Cadd9
Cause I know I won’t listen to 
anyone else
   G
At 16, your biggest dream is wearing
 his leather man jacket
       Cadd9
You’re so in love, and breaking up 
is the worst thing that could ever 
happen
        Am7
Then it happens
           Cadd9
And you’re just too young to see
        Am7
Then it passes

[Chorus]
Cadd9*                       
Yeah I know that he broke your 
             G
highschool sweetheart
And it feels like your life’s over 
        Em
before it starts
You think your whole world revolves 
    Am
in those hallways

But it won’t always
Cadd9
You’ll just have to trust me
Continues after the ad
                 *             G
One day it will just be highschool 
sweetheart

[Verse 2]
   G
If you could only see who you are 
now
      Cadd9
That quiet kind of confidence you 
found
G
One day, that boy, will just be a 
black and white picture
     Cadd9                 *
In a year book, you’ll hardly 
remember

[Chorus]
How he broke your highschool 
 G
sweetheart
And it feels like your life’s over 
        Em
before it starts
You think your whole world revolves 
    Am7
in those hallways

But it won’t always
Cadd9
You’ll just have to trust me
               *                 
One day it’ll just be highschool 
G
sweetheart
     Cadd9
Mmmm mmm sweetheart

[Bridge]
       Am7
I know you don’t wanna hear it
    C
But you’ll grow through the pain
Am7
You’ll find out one day
        C*
That he wasn’t the one anyway

[Chorus] (soft)
Yeah I know that he broke your 
           G
highschool sweetheart
And it feels like your life’s over 
       Cadd9
before it starts
You think your whole world revolves 
   Am7
in those hallways

But it won’t always
Cadd9
You’ll just have to trust me
*.                               
One day it’ll just be highschool 
G
sweetheart
Cadd9
Mmmmm sweetheart

Mmmmmm

Mmmm
           G*
Mmmm sweet heart
