VERSE:
E
Twenty eight shouldn't look this old
But the last ten years sure took their toll
A
On the girl in the picture with the plastic crown
E
That sequin dress wouldn't fit her now
F#m
Like it did
B
Before the kids
VERSE:
E
Yea she loves her husband ‘cause she said she would
Oh it ain't so bad but it ain't so good
A
She swore she wouldn't get stuck in this town
E
Now she's cutting coupons two doors down
F#m
From a mall
B
And it goes on
CHORUS:
A
Yea too bad love ain't a local parade
In your uncle's Corvette on a Saturday
E
With all the little girls waiting on you to wave
Dbm
When you're 17
A
You don't know
B
You won't always be
E
Homecoming queen
VERSE:
E
Newspaper clipping and a sash in a box
Are the only things that didn't get lost
A
She married a guy on the real estate sign
E
And it's hard to believe once upon a time
F#m
She was royalty
B
The girl we all wanted to be
CHORUS:
A
Yea too bad love ain't a local parade
In your uncle's Corvette on a Saturday
E
With all the little girls waiting on you to wave
Dbm
When you're 17
A
You don't know
B
That you won't always be
A
Homecoming queen
BRIDGE:
A E
Or the captain of the team
F#m
And it ain't what it seems
B A E G A B
It’s just a teenage dream
CHORUS:
A
Yea too bad love ain't a local parade
In your uncle's Corvette on a Saturday
E
With all the little girls waiting on you to wave
Dbm
When you're 17
A
You don't know
B
You won't always be
DbM
You don't know
B
You won't always be
E
Homecoming queen
