[Intro]
C Am C Am F G
[Verse]
F G
Puttin' on her makeup thinkin' no one will know
Am F
But it's late September and she's startin' to show
G
Keepin' it a secret 'cause girls can be mean
Am F
Boys don't want the mom-to-be, they want the prom queen
[Chorus]
C Am
High school is wildfire
F G
It's like walkin' the high wire
[Verse]
F G
His life depends on throwin' a ball
Am F
If he's not like his daddy then he's nothin' at all
G
Boys don't cry, he's gotta be tough
Am F
So he pops a little pill when the pressure's too much
[Chorus]
C Am
High school is wildfire
F G
It's like walkin' the high wire
[Bridge]
C Am C F G
C
Whether you're the cheerleader or the class clown
Am
Straight As or the jack arounds
F
A big city or a one horse town
G
Growin' up can bring you down
[Chorus]
C Am
High school is wildfire
F G
It's like walkin' the high wire
C Am
Oh, high school is wildfire
F G
It's like walkin' the high wire
C
High school
