🎸 Intro:


RICHIE:
  FF
I’m dead
  EbM7Ebm7               FF
The blood is all but draining from my head
   EbM7Ebm7                FF
The nightmare started there but now has spread
  EbM7Ebm7         Eb7Eb7
My pulse is certainly dropping
    E MajorE        GbGb
And my life is hanging on by a thread

RUTH:
  FF
I’m scared
EbM7Ebm7             FF
Someone comes for me I’m unprepared

BOTH:
  EbM7Ebm7      Eb7Eb7
The wait has got me sweating
    DbDb         AbAb
I can’t cut through all the tension

ENSEMBLE:
FF
It’s hell on Earth, you know
  Bbm6Bbm6
I’m tweetin’ all about it

I take it blow by blow
    Bbm6Bbm6
But I’d never scream or shout it

(bell rings)

It’s not cool, it’s a fallacy
         Bbsus4Bbsus4   Bb majorBb
It’s a cruel and unusual brutality

  FF    AbAb
And I can survive it

High school is killing me
