Biography:
Hot Chip are an electronic/dance band which formed in London, England, United Kingdom in 2000. It consists of Alexis Taylor (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Joe Goddard (vocals, synths, percussion), Al Doyle (guitar, vocals), Owen Clarke (synths, guitar) and Felix Martin (percussion). The combination of Taylor's ethereal, high-pitched vocals with Goddard's warm, low pitch and the band's blip-blop electronics creates a dreamy sound. The band is best known for the hit singles "Over and Over" (2006) and "Ready for the Floor" (2008).

“And I Was a Boy from School” by Hot Chip
I used some other people's chord interpretations to make this. I just fixed them up a
little, added the lyrics, and made up a little ending. It's not entirely accurate but
sounds pretty good when played alone on an acousstic or whatever.
Abm E
And I was a boy from school
B Abm E
Helplessly helping all the rules
Abm E
And there was a boy at school
B Abm E
Hopelessly wrestling all his fools
Abm E
And there was a girl at school
B Abm E
Blaming all the words she learned from home
Abm E
Nothing could keep her a child
B Abm E
Long hours, don't you know we tried?
C#m B E
We tried, but we didn’t have long
C#m B E
We try, but we don't belong
C#m B E
We tried, but we didn't have long
C#m B E
We try but we don't belong
Abm E
Now I find you on the street
B Abm E
Breaking rules hopelessly we meet
Abm E
Lives are found but loves are lost
B Abm E
Say goodbye to everything nothing caused
(repeat with other similar verse)
C#m B E
We tried, but we didn’t have long
C#m B E
We try, but we don't belong
C#m B E
We tried, but we didn’t have long
C#m B E
We try, but we don't belong, ohooohh
E
I got, I got lost
Am
You said this was the way back
E
I got, I got lost
Am E Am E Am
You said this was the way-- back
C#m B E
We tried, but we didn’t have long
C#m B E
We try, but we don't belong
C#m B E
We tried, but we didn’t have long
C#m B E
We try, but we don't belong. . .
