[Intro]
Bm A F#m G
[Verse]
Bm A F#m G
Every now and then I wonder why I spend time following the crowd
Bm A F#m G
They say time's valuable so we spend it in school cause they tell us that's how
Bm A F#m G
You build your career like we're the ones who steer but I'm wasting my days
Bm A F#m G
I'd rather get a head start and listen to my heart but I'm afraid I've changed
[Bridge]
Bm F#m
And I know I'm not the only one feels like they're not where they belong
Bm G A Bm
Waiting to make the world my stage but I can't cause of my age
F#m
It's time to put the books away
[Chorus]
Bm F#m G A
I don't wanna stay in school cause I'd be better off
Bm A F#m G
Putting in ten thousand hours doing what I love,
Bm F#m G F#m
No, I don't wanna stay in school cause I'd be better off
Bm A F#m G
Putting in ten thousand hours doing what I love
[Verse 2]
Bm A F#m G
Oh and if I stay what difference will I make? It's a shame to grease then take a couple days
Bm A F#m G
All the time I've lost saying myself I'm not Sitting, wondering what's the opportunity cost
Bm A F#m G
If I left what if I fall off track People telling me make sure you got a full back
Bm A F#m G
It's a risk that I'm willing to take It could be the best mistake that I ever made
[Bridge]
Bm F#m
And I know I'm not the only one feels like they're not where they belong
Bm G A Bm

It's time to put the books away
[Chorus]

I don't wanna stay in school cause I'd be better off
