Chords with lyrics
G+G
I hate this place,
C majorC D MajorD G+G
I can barely keep the misery off my face,
D MajorD C majorC
Yeah there's one place i much rather be,
D MajorD C majorC
Taking transfiguration and arithmancy,
G+G C majorC D MajorD
And hanging with my friends in the owlery,
G+G C majorC
But instead i'm learning parts of speech,
D MajorD G+G
And trying not to fall asleep,
C majorC D MajorD G+G
And avoiding the only girl in school who might like me,
(Pause)
G+G
It's so grotesque,
C majorC D MajorD G+G
When the guy sitting next to me drools all over his desk,
D MajorD C majorC
And i almost raise my hand to complain,
D MajorD C majorC
But then i realize i wanna be doin' the same,
G+G C majorC D MajorD
So i put my head down on my desk as well,
G+G C majorC
And suddenly im learning a spell,
D MajorD G+G
To make my teacher's head swell,
C majorC
But then he wakes me up,
D MajorD G+G
And i can't help but yell,
Engorgio!!
(Pause)
G+G C majorC G+G
This isn't hogwarts this is a concrete box,
C majorC G+G
And the pictures on the wall are never gonna talk,
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
And the teachers don't care that the kids don't try,
C majorC G+G
And the most magical thing we have is fluorescent lights,
C majorC D MajorD
And they don't put you in hufflepuff if your not cool,
C majorC D MajorD
Instead they sort you in the parking lot after school,
C majorC D MajorD
And i think if i looked into the mirror of erised,
C majorC D MajorD
I'd be wearing wizard robes of gold and red,
C majorC D MajorD G+G
I'm not sayin' i'm not proud to be a nerd,
C majorC D MajorD G+G
But public school ain't no place for a wizard
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Yeah public school ain't no place for a wizard
(Pause)
G+G
Y'know whats gross,
C majorC D MajorD G+G
When the lunch meat looks like three day old soggy toast,
D MajorD C majorC
But as i ate it anyway i overheard,
D MajorD C majorC
This guy i hardly know callin' me a nerd,
G+G C majorC D MajorD
So i cast "sectum sempra" on him inside my mind,
G+G C majorC
I wish there were house elves makin' my food,
D MajorD G+G
And everything was perfectly spiced,
C majorC D MajorD G+G
And the only one being rude was the poltergeist,
(Pause)
G+G
And here's what's true,
C majorC D MajorD G+G
I'd do pretty much anything to go to wizard school,
D MajorD C majorC
I'd even call dolores umbridge my friend,
D MajorD C majorC
If it meant i'd never have to go to gym again,
G+G C majorC D MajorD
But i look around at all of this crap that's part of my life,
G+G C majorC
No ghost stalkin' the halls,
D MajorD G+G
Or hangin' in the bathroom stalls,
C majorC
And the stairs don't move,
D MajorD G+G
Cause there's no stairs at all.
G+G C majorC G+G
This isn't hogwarts this is a concrete box,
C majorC G+G
And the pictures on the wall are never gonna talk,
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
And the teachers don't care that the kids don't try,
C majorC G+G
And the most magical thing we have is fluorescent lights,
C majorC D MajorD
And they don't put you in hufflepuff if your not cool,
C majorC D MajorD
Instead they sort you in the parking lot after school,
C majorC D MajorD
And i think if i looked into the mirror of erised,
C majorC D MajorD
I'd be wearing wizard robes of gold and red,
C majorC D MajorD G+G
I'm not sayin' i'm not proud to be a nerd,
C majorC D MajorD G+G
But public school ain't no place for a wizard
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Yeah public school ain't no place for a wizard
