Intro: G/B C  G/B  (four times)


Well I rode into town with the ragtop down
      C                         G/B
I was lookin for that homecomin queen

That three-by-nine lit hotel sign read
C                          G/B
Welcome back class of eighty-three


There were football guys twice their size
C                             G/B
Cheerleaders dyin the grey in their hair

The names were the same but the faces had changed
C                          G/B
I didn't recognize anyone there

CHORUS:

                        C
That used to be us, we used to be cool
         G                                  D
With the music cranked up hangin out after school
      G/B                  C
That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe
        G                             Bm
Tell me where in the world did we all go
      G/B           C   G/B                C G/B
That used to be us,     that used to be us



I had a drink with some buds played a lot of catch-up
C                            G/B
Danced with my date from the prom

But as hard as I tried until I closed my eyes
C                    G/B
Everybody I knew was gone


There was Mr. Finch he taught English and French
C                                G/B
He was dancin with a couple of canes

And that homecomin queen yeah the girl of my dreams
C                           G/B
She didn't even remember my name




CHORUS:

                        C
That used to be us, we used to be cool
         G                                  D
With the music cranked up hangin out after school
      G/B                  C
That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe
        G                             Bm
Tell me where in the world did we all go
      G/B           C   G/B                C G/B
That used to be us,     that used to be us

Em                           G
As I stand here and look around
Em                                                  G
I can't help but wonder who we'll be ten years from now
