Verse 1:

Ebm               Abm
I'm not a bad guy

   Bbm                   Ebm                       Abm Bbm
So don't treat me bad if I'm feeling sad, alright?

                       Ebm                          Abm
Please don't be mad if I don't smile back, alright?

     Bbm                     Ebm                        Abm
If I fuck up my words, don't think I'm absurd, alright?

Bbm
Alright?

Pre-Chorus:

Ebm
I'm physically exhausted

Bbm         Abm
Tired of my knuckles piercing

Ebm                          Bbm
I'm chewing gum to pass this time

         Abm
Sadness, can't you see it?

Ebm                     Bbm
You're too busy seeking selfish wishes

Abm
Look at how I'm feeling

Ebm                          Abm
You write me up and say it's love

      N.C.
And I can't believe it

Chorus:

Ebm                   Abm
Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?

Ebm                            Abm
I can feel your blood pressure rise, fuck this tension

Ebm                       Abm
Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention?

Ebm                        Abm
Pretending everything's alright is detention

Post-Chorus:

Ebm
De-detention

Abm
De-detention

Ebm                         N.C.
Pretending everything's all right is (Shh!)

Verse 2:

Ebm                              Abm Bbm
The teachers don't care about me

                    Ebm                  Abm Bbm
Fuck how I feel, as long as I make money

Ebm                            Abm     Bbm
They let them do whatever they want to me

            Ebm                        Abm
They're the customer, I'm chopped meat

            Bbm
I'm chopped meat

Pre-Chorus:

Ebm
I'm physically exhausted

Bbm         Abm

Bridge:

Ebm                           Abm
I wanna go home and you say, "Now is not the time"

Ebm                                 Abm
Fuck being all alone in back of the classroom, ah

Ebm                                          Abm
Stop calling up my phone, trying to say that I've been out of line

Ebm                                    Abm
When all I ever asked was to go to the bathroom
