[Intro]

Asus/F  Fmaj7  Cmaj7  C  Asus2/F  Fmaj7  E

[Verse 1]

      C
Let's go to class to kick your ass

       Fmaj7
You're not too sure if you can last

    E                      Am
Without going back to your work

    G    C                                      Fmaj7
But it's alright 'cause you'll be trying not to die

                            E
And you'll be trying not to lie

                               Am
Because you're sitting next to her

G         Dm      G7    C      G
    Well, baby, I don't mind


[Verse 2]

C
So you thought your name was called

     F
From half way down the hall

         E7                            Am
From the dude with a basketball in his hand

G       C
And you think he might be waiting

      F
But behind him is your raven

         E                         Am
Singing "Nevermore" I'm laying him down

G     Dm    F       C
Well, baby, I don't mind


[Pre-chorus 1]

       Am       Dm         Fm          C
'Cause it's not hard to be spending my time

                      Dm *             Em7 *
With someone who will let me go, don't care no more

  F *                             G9
I just want to get out of here to play some rock and roll


[Chorus]

Asus2/F  Fmaj7                     Cmaj7 C
                It's a high school rock out

               Dm             D7
It's a fucking knock out here

    F      G
And nobody cares

    Asus2/F  Fmaj7             Cmaj7 C                  D7
So,                 everybody scream at the top of your lungs

       F                   G7
'Cause nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody really cares

Asus/F  Fmaj7  Cmaj7  C  Asus2/F  Fmaj7  E7


[Verse 3]

           C
Well, it's prom night again

     F
Be polite to my friends

          E7                         Am
'Cause we like to pretend that we're cool

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

           F
'Cause the rock and roll enthusiasts

    E                            Am
And bands are having a hell of a time

                   Dm     G7        C
And it makes me go crazy, out of my mind


[Pre-chorus 2]

     Am        Dm
Just what am I doing here

Fm         C                          Dm *
Wasting my time with someone who will let me go

      Em7 *
Don't care no more?

  F *                             G9
I just want to get out of here to play some rock and roll, oh baby


[Chorus]

Asus2/F  Fmaj7                     Cmaj7 C
                It's a high school rock out

               Dm
It's a fucking knock out here

    D7     F
And nobody cares

G7  Asus2/F  Fmaj7             Cmaj7 C                  Dm
So,                 everybody scream at the top of your lungs

       D7                F               G         C
'Cause nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody really cares

G7    C
Woah, no

Asus/F  Fmaj7  Cmaj7  C  Asus2/F  Fmaj7  E7 Fmaj7


[Verse 4]

          C
Well, the song is sung and all is done

    F
And everyone is having fun

    E7                      Am
But in comes Mr. Sad-As-Can-Be

             C
And he's got problems up the wall

      F
But nobody cares at all

           E7                        Am
Because we don't want to catch his disease

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


[Chorus]

Asus2/F  Fmaj7                     Cmaj7 C
                It's a high school rock out

               Dm
It's a fucking knock out here

    D7     F
And nobody cares

G7  Asus2/F  Fmaj7             Cmaj7 C                  Dm
So,                 everybody scream at the top of your lungs

       D7                Fmaj7           G         C
'Cause nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody really cares


[Chorus]

Asus2/F  Fmaj7                     Cmaj7 C
Hey             It's a high school rock out

               Dm
It's a goddamn knock out here

    D7     Fmaj7
And nobody cares

G7  Asus2/F  Fmaj7             Cmaj7 C                  D7
So,                 everybody scream at the top of your lungs

       Dm                F
'Cause nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody really cares
