Verse:
E
There?s a kid, there?s a kid over there
C#m
Ripped jeans without no style
B
He?s got teeth like jaws
A
Poor kid can't even smile
E
He wears a Mohawk out of his hair
C#m
Any walk seems denial
B
With shoes untied again
A
Where do I begin?
Pre-Chorus:
E C#m
He?s got no car, no job, no money, no life, no girl
But he?s in a band!
B
And the furthest he has ever gone
A
In his life with a girl was holding hands
[Refrão]
A C#m B A B
Memories of high school are a little uncool
A C#m B A B
Kids flew my t-shirt from the tall flag pole
C#m B E B A
Was a living nightmare and in times I felt so scared
C#m B
I was the kid sat over there

verse 2:
E
There?s a party and he wants to get in
C#m
Everybody at school is invited
B
It's Friday night and
A
He?s never been more excited
E
At the door he sees the girls by the pool?s side
C#m
Can't wait to get in and have a good time
B
But he?s denied again
A
The both sides let you down my friend
B A
turns away and walks away and there?s pain
It feels like it was only yesterday
