[Intro]

Asus/F Fmaj7Fmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC Asus2/F Fmaj7Fmaj7 E MajorE

[Verse 1]

   C majorC
Let's go to class to kick your ass

    Fmaj7Fmaj7
You're not too sure if you can last

  E MajorE           A minorAm
Without going back to your work

  G+G  C majorC                   Fmaj7Fmaj7
But it's alright 'cause you'll be trying not to die

              E MajorE
And you'll be trying not to lie

                A minorAm
Because you're sitting next to her

G+G     DmDm   G7G7  C majorC   G+G
  Well, baby, I don't mind


[Verse 2]

C majorC
So you thought your name was called

   FF
From half way down the hall

     E7E7              A minorAm
From the dude with a basketball in his hand

G+G    C majorC
And you think he might be waiting

   FF
But behind him is your raven

     E MajorE             A minorAm
Singing "Nevermore" I'm laying him down

G+G   DmDm  FF    C majorC
Well, baby, I don't mind

[Pre-chorus 1]

    A minorAm    DmDm     F minorFm     C majorC
'Cause it's not hard to be spending my time

           DmDm *       E minor 7Em7 *
With someone who will let me go, don't care no more

 FF *               G9G9
I just want to get out of here to play some rock and roll


[Chorus]

Asus2/F Fmaj7Fmaj7           Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC
        It's a high school rock out

        DmDm       D7D7
It's a fucking knock out here

  FF   G+G
And nobody cares

  Asus2/F Fmaj7Fmaj7       Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC         D7D7
So,         everybody scream at the top of your lungs

    FF          G7G7
'Cause nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody really cares

Asus/F Fmaj7Fmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC Asus2/F Fmaj7Fmaj7 E7E7


[Verse 3]

      C majorC
Well, it's prom night again

   FF
Be polite to my friends

     E7E7             A minorAm
'Cause we like to pretend that we're cool

  G+G      C majorC
And that's just fine, we like the music

      FF
'Cause the rock and roll enthusiasts

  E MajorE              A minorAm
And bands are having a hell of a time

          DmDm   G7G7    C majorC
And it makes me go crazy, out of my mind


[Pre-chorus 2]

   A minorAm    DmDm
Just what am I doing here

F minorFm     C majorC             DmDm *
Wasting my time with someone who will let me go

   E minor 7Em7 *
Don't care no more?

 FF *               G9G9
I just want to get out of here to play some rock and roll, oh baby


[Chorus]

Asus2/F Fmaj7Fmaj7           Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC
        It's a high school rock out

        DmDm
It's a fucking knock out here

  D7D7   FF
And nobody cares

G7G7 Asus2/F Fmaj7Fmaj7       Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC         DmDm
So,         everybody scream at the top of your lungs

    D7D7        FF        G+G     C majorC
'Cause nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody really cares

G7G7  C majorC
Woah, no

Asus/F Fmaj7Fmaj7 Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC Asus2/F Fmaj7Fmaj7 E7E7 Fmaj7Fmaj7


[Verse 4]

     C majorC
Well, the song is sung and all is done

  FF
And everyone is having fun

  E7E7           A minorAm
But in comes Mr. Sad-As-Can-Be

       C majorC
And he's got problems up the wall

   FF
But nobody cares at all

      E7E7            A minorAm
Because we don't want to catch his disease

N.C.
But it's cool 'cause everybody says


[Chorus]

Asus2/F Fmaj7Fmaj7           Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC
        It's a high school rock out

        DmDm
It's a fucking knock out here

  D7D7   FF
And nobody cares

G7G7 Asus2/F Fmaj7Fmaj7       Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC         DmDm
So,         everybody scream at the top of your lungs

    D7D7        Fmaj7Fmaj7      G+G     C majorC
'Cause nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody really cares


[Chorus]

Asus2/F Fmaj7Fmaj7           Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC
Hey       It's a high school rock out

        DmDm

  D7D7   Fmaj7Fmaj7
And nobody cares

G7G7 Asus2/F Fmaj7Fmaj7       Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC         D7D7
So,         everybody scream at the top of your lungs
