Verse 1:
C                         Am
One day in spring, it was gym class
             F
That was the only class Shane passed


Pre-Chorus 1:

   Em          G                  Am
   He was      scaling the        rope

          F                       C
And I saw Shane, and everyone was pushing him
              F      Em       Dm
And you could really feel his pain

And then before you knew it
                                 F
All of a sudden there were these flames
               C
A fire started in the school
            F       C     Dm
That took a hundred lives away


Verse 2:
C                            Am
Life is real tough when your parents
      F
Don't want you
C                           Am
Life can be tough when your girlfriend
     F
Don't want you


Pre-Chorus 2:

   Em          G                  Am
   Daisy       was his last       hope

And I saw Shane, and everyone was pushing him
              F      Em       Dm
And you could really feel his pain

And it was right then
                                F
You started to see these, like, flames
               C
A fire started in the school
            F       C     Dm
That took a hundred lives away


Bridge:
Bm                     F
   And oh whoa when he struck the match
                C
To make the big payback he said
G
"Shananananananana"
             F
He thought, "We're all so wrong"
       C
And he cried alone and he went
G
"Shananananananana"
        F
And the girl and the kids
             C
And all that his parents did, he said
G
"Shananananananana"
                 F
Ooh he thought, "We're all so wrong"
                   C
And with this he'd finally have won and baby now
G
"Shananananananana" Oh no no
       F                   C
But it increased the pain, poor poor Shane
G
"Shananananananana"
F                C
Poor poor Shane, poor poor Shane
G
"Shananananananana"
       F                   C
But it increased the pain, poor poor Shane
G
"Shananananananana"
       F                 C      G
And he ran and he and he ran
       F          C
And he ran and he ran
       G
And he ran
   F                     C
He increased their pain
G
"Shananananananana"
F                               C
  And the kids and all that his family did
        G
Just to increase the pain
                F
And then he ran away

Instrumental Break:
