[Verse]
E
2006, my sophomore year
B A
Moved back to Mississippi‚ made a few friends since I’ve been here
E
I guess it’s not that bad?
E
The sun’s going down‚ it’s getting too dark to skate
B A
JT’s gotta leave‚ their partner says they’ve been out too late
E
I hope I’m never whipped like that?
E
Well I actually just got dumped and I’m looking to pass
B A E
This self-pathetic-loathing off to anyone brave enough to ask just how I am
E
So let’s go to the country club and steal a few bricks of beer
B A
There’s an old abandoned mansion, I hear the owner just died last year
E
Let’s invite a couple friends and get slammed
[Chorus 1]
B
'Cause there’s not much else to do
A E
Unless it involves wedding bells or Harry Potter spells
B A
100 degrees outside by noon, and I’m not going out in that
E
I’ll just watch Martin re-runs back to back
Gb Gb Gb Gb Gb Ab A ~
Wait for the sun to goooooooooo down
[Verse 2]
E
5:30AM‚ debating going to school
B
Who invited JR last night?
A
He wouldn’t shut up about some band called Tool
E
And how "we just don’t get it"
E
Now it’s 10, and I’m making my way up to class
B A
But my teacher’s a dick so I’ll just slack, sleep‚ and let the time pass
E
I promise I’ll try harder next period
E
Now I made it to a class that I actually like
B
But it’s kinda hard to pay attention when the mall goths in here
A E
Pick the same stupid fight about how MCR sold out after Bullets
E
Lunch rolls around, time to break Michael out of the academy
B A
Cameron says he knows some easy eastsiders that’ll get my mind off of Tiffany
E
Alright it, we’re skipping, let’s do it
[Chorus]
B A E
When it comes to school my best subjects were cutting class and chasing ass
B A E
I’m just no good at following rules, so we’ll just take the rest of the day off and see
if this pays off
Gb Gb Gb Gb Gb Ab A ~
On the other side offffffffff town
[Instrumental Bridge]
E F#sus
F#sus Ab A E
E F#sus
F#sus Ab A E
E E
[Verse 3]
E
Now it’s midnight and those eastsiders had common sense
B A
So we’ll just do hoodlum shit - steal lawn gnomes, play ding dong ditch; sounds like a
E
good night to me
E
But Michael’s not cool enough to get invited to any private school parties
B A
Rich kids waiting for their turn to talk “Look what my parents bought me!” - there’s
E
really not much to see
E
I’d rather steal golf carts and go race around the lake
B A
Than get invited to another Eagle Scout ceremony anyday
E
I mean seriously, how fucking boring can you be???
E B
Let’s scope the block, and pick the locks
A A A A A A A A A
Do donuts in the lot, and piss off some cops
[Outro]
B
'Cause there's not much else to do
A E
Unless it involves hoodlum shit or just kicking it
B
Plus no one really thinks we’re cool
A E E
So we’ll just spend the rest of the night out in Katy’s club house
