But the brick ticket counter only takes cash

And your only ID is a bus pass
 A minorAm      A minorAm       A minorAm
And you get to the front of the line in time
 A minorAm         FF
But you’re afraid to ask
 A minorAm              F#F#
The big kids from around the bend
 A minorAm           FF
Chase you down to the corner store and then

You pony up, pony up if you want to last

It’s what Gwendolyn said
 C majorC           C majorC
Over my head, over my head

Bridge:
   A minorAm            A minorAm G+G
So we put the playground behind us
 G+G                 C majorC
Pushed the envelope back into our binders
 A minorAm          G+G
Ran to the stop where only the words of
 G+G           C majorC
Gwendolyn Brooks could find us
 A minorAm              C majorC
Someone sent away for a Ninja star
 A minorAm           FF
I spent my change on a pull-up bar
 A minorAm          G+G
There’s nothing you forget
      C majorC
More than reminders

Chorus:
 E minorEm    G+G
Stand up, rock the boat
 C majorC       C majorC           G+G
Get a little water under your float, hey
 D MajorD              D MajorD      E minorEm
“Exhaust the little moment, soon it dies” she said
 G+G    C majorC
“If it’s gash or gold
C majorC            G+G
It will not come again,” hey
 D MajorD     G+G     G+G
"In this identical disguise”*

It’s what Gwendolyn said
 C majorC       C majorC
Over my head, over my head
 G+G       G+G
Over my head, over my head
