Three important rules for breaking up:
C
Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to
Prolonging the situation only makes it worse
C
Tell him honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly
Don't make a big production
C
Don't make up an elaborate story
This will help you avoid a big tear jerking scene
F#dim/C
If you wanna date other people say so
B5
Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected
Even if you've gone together for only a short time
C
And haven't been too serious,there's still a feeling of rejection
When someone says she prefers the company of others
C
To your exclusive company, but if you're honest, and direct,
C
And avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you break the news,
The boy will respect you for your frankness,
F#dim/C
And honestly he'll appreciate the kind of straightforward manner
In which you told him your decision
B5
Unless he's a real jerk or a cry baby you will remain friends!
[Chorus]
Am G
I'm head of the class, I'm popular
Am G
I'm a quarterback, I'm popular
Am G
My mom says I'm a catch, I'm popular
F C
I'm never last picked, I got a cheerleader chick
[Verse]
C
Being attractive is the most important thing there is
If you wanna catch the biggest fish in your pond
C
You have to be as attractive as possible
Make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean
C
Wash it at least every two weeks, Once every two weeks!
And if you see Johnny football hero in the hall
F#dim/C
Tell him he played a great game
B5
Tell him you like his article in the newspaper
[Chorus]
Am G
I'm the party star, I'm popular
Am G
I've got my own car, I'm popular
Am G
I'll never get caught, I'm popular
F C
I make football bets, I'm a teachers pet
[Verse]
C
I propose we support a one month limit on going steady
C
I think it would keep people more able to deal with weird situations
And get to know more people
C
I think if you're ready to go out with Johnny
Now's the time to tell him about your one month limit
F#dim/C (B)
He won't mind, he'll appreciate your fresh look on dating!
B5 (B)
And once you've dated someone else you can date him again!
F#dim/C (B)
I'm sure he'll like it! Everyone will appreciate it!
Gadd11(no5)/C
You're so novel, what a good idea!
F#dim/C (B)
You can keep you time to your self!
B5 (B)
You don't need date insurance! You can go out with whoever you want to!
F#dim/C (B) B5 (B)
Every boy, every boy, in the whole world could be yours!
F#dim/C (B) B5
If you'll just listen to my plan: THE TEENAGE GUIDE TO POPULARITY!
[Chorus]
Am G
I'm head of the class, I'm popular
Am G
I'm a quarterback, I'm popular
Am G
My mom says I'm a catch, I'm popular
F C
I'm never last picked, I got a cheerleader chick
[Chorus]
Am G
I'm the party star, I'm popular
Am G
I've got my own car, I'm popular
Am G
I'll never get caught, I'm popular
F C
I make football bets, I'm a teachers pet
