Bm: 224432
D: xx0232
E/D (I dunno actual name): xx2232 or x02232
A5:x022xx
Verse 1:
F#5
This must be the place.
I can tell by your glare.
G
I wouldn't touch you on a dare.
F#5
Seven month to June and even then, so what?
G
My mouth is open, my book is shut.
Pre-Chorus:
Asus2 Bm G Bm
My air guitar is out of tune.
Asus2 Bm G Bm Asus2
My stupid hair is so '82 to you.
G
At least I don't fit in.
Chorus 1:
D E/D
Corner me in Chemistry.
Bm G
It's all just simple math to me.
D
Call me your names.
E/D
Make them stick.
Bm G
I'll laugh until I am sick.
Verse 2: (same as Verse 1)
Glad that that's all through.
I got better friends than you.
Just can't remember where I left them.
I'll see you all in class.
Not if I ditch first.
Expect the best, except the worst.
Pre-Chorus 2: (same as Pre-Chorus 1)
Walk until your blush subsides.
Drink beneath the 405 in the ivy,
And think about that girl.
Chorus 2: (same as Chorus 1)
Two grades below.
She pierced her nose way before it was cool.
Some older guy with a motorbike,
Picks her up after school.
Bridge:
F#5 A5 (x4)
Verse 3:
F#
This school's a living hell.
I work and don't get paid.
G
I smoke a lot but can't get laid.
Pre-Chorus 3: (same as first two)
Sit and stare, it's all we do.
All my friends are broken, too.
We're just waiting,
Waiting to begin.
(Play Chorus 1 again)
End on D
Enjoy!
