[Intro]
G D7 G D7 G D7 G D7
[Verse 1]
G D7 G D7
Stuck inside with a pencil and desk
G D7 G D7
On a Saturday morning for a meaningless test
C
The one that will determine
D
All the rest of my years
G D7 G D7
Will they be spent in squalor or earning top dollar?
G D7 G D7
Couldn't care much less 'cause I hear a holler
C
At the window
D
And your sweet familiar face appears
Em Am
Now answer me this one, true or false
Em Am
If the question at hand means nothing at all
Em Am D7
Then why don't I just run down the hall and escape?
[Chorus]
G Bm
Ditching school and the added attraction
Em C
Of being with you are just the distractions I need
D
To keep me from taking my SATs
G Bm
'Cause it's a beautiful day and bubbling letters
Em C
Won't help me live my life any better today
D G D7 G D7 G D7 G D7
Or when I'm 43
[Verse 2]
G D7 G D7
If I manipulate the system of tests that they give
G D7 G D7
And wind up with a masters I'm still gonna live
C
In my parents' basement
D
Until I find something better to do
G D7 G D7
From nine to five all the days I'm alive
G D7 G D7
With no days off 'til the day that I die
C D
When I'd rather play the truant game with you
[Chorus]
G Bm
Ditching school and the added attraction
Em C
Of being with you are just the distractions I need
D
To keep me from taking my SATs
G Bm
'Cause it's a beautiful day and bubbling letters
Em C
Won't help me live my life any better today
D G D7 G D7 G D7 G D7
Or when I'm 43
[Interlude]
G Bm Em C D G Bm Em C D G D7 G D7 G D7 G D7
[Verse 3]
G D7 G D7
Now let's make haste, 'cause it won't be long
G D7 G D7
Before the proctor looks up and sees that I'm gone
C
And he grades my empty paper
D
With an automatic fail
Em Am
Now answer me this one, show your work
Em Am
If the test in front of me has no worth
Em Am D7
Then why don't I just run down the hall and escape?
[Chorus]
G Bm
Ditching school and the added attraction
Em C
Of being with you are just the distractions I need
D
To keep me from taking my SATs
G Bm
'Cause it's a beautiful day and bubbling letters
Em C
Won't help me live my life any better today
D G
Or when I'm 43
C D G
Today, or when I'm 43
C G Bm Em C D G
Today, or when I'm 43
