Verse 1

[D]I can remember us cruising through town
[D]In your daddy's car with the top pulled down
Looking [G]so cool
[D]We came from different sides of the track
[D]But we still held hands out back
Of the [G]old school
We [A]spent all our time [Bm]together
[A]Laughing and having [Bm]fun
We [A]swore that we'd love [Bm]forever
'Cause [G]that was the way things were [A]done
At the [D]old school[G]

Verse 2

[D]We both made it to our graduation
[D]You chose a college I chose a vocation
Driving [G]eighteen wheels
[D]I became a part of your past
[D]You went and married some guy in your class
He was a [G]big deal
Your [A]picture was in all the [Bm]papers
You [A]made such a lovely [Bm]bride
They [A]said you were going [Bm]places
But [G]me, I just went for a [A]ride
Down by the [D]old school

Bridge

[Fm]I got married to a [G]sweet, young girl
[Fm]And kept driving for the [G]line
[Fm]Your husband made his [G]mark on the world
[Em]Then he left you [A]behind
In the [D]big house
With the [G]swimming [D]pool
[D]Now you drive your kids
Down to the [G]old [D]school[G]
[D5] [Dsus2] [D5] [Dsus2] [G] [D] [G] [D] [Dsus4] [D]

Verse 3

[D]Now here we are at the reunion of the class
[D]You ask my wife if we could have one dance
For the [G]old times
[D]We're slow dancing across the old gym floor
[D]You whisper it could be just like before
"Call me [G]sometime"
[A]You ask if I [Bm]understand you
Well, [A]yes I'm afraid I [Bm]do
[A]You say everybody [Bm]does it
[G]Well, I don't care if they [A]do

Outro

I'm from the [D]old school
[D]I'm from the old school
[D]Where hearts stay true
[D]I'm from the old school
I thought [G]you were too
[D5] [Dsus2] [D5] [Dsus2] [G] [D] [G] [D] [Dsus4] [D]
