[F] [F#] well I ain't about to go [A] to [F#] school, _ _ _ _ _ _ when I'm sick and tired of [A] broken [F#] rules. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D#m] _ _ Please say I'm [C#] crazy from [D#] the wrong side of the _ [G#]
track.
[D#] _ I never [C#] see them but [D#] they're always on my [F#m] back. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] Hey baby, let me tell you about this one track.
How you gonna tell me?
[A] Let me put it [F#] to music.
_ _ _ _ [C#m]
When [F#] I'm sick and tired [F#m] of cleaning _ rooms.
_ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [F#m] It's the final bell on the pushing _ _ _ room. _ _ _
[D#m] _ _ _ Damn if I do [C#] it again, [D#] I'll give you five _ [G#] notes.
_ [D#] _ Will someone tell [C#] me [D#] what it is they are on?
[A] _ [G#] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] You [G#] make me lose. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ [F#]
I [G#] live.
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [G#] I live. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I live. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ I live.
_ [A] I just can't take it.
[F#] _ _ _ [B] _
[F#] All my teachers all gave up [F#m] on me. _ _ _ _ _
No matter what they say, I have to agree. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] And when I need someone to soothe [A] my [F#] soul.
I listen to my [Am] track and [D#m] roll.
No wonder [C#] last year you [D#] hear that circus just let [G#] down.
_ [D#] _ _ Maybe even [C#] probably if [D#] you're lazy you're not a play [A] [G#] girl.
_ _ _ _ [F#] You [G#] make me lose.
_ _ [D#m] _ _ [G#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [G#] _ _
I live.
