[Intro]
G
[Verse]
G
I was a debater
D
Was not a stoner nor an inline skater
C
Was not a player nor a player hater
E C
I was just a bookworm on a respirator
D G
Who?s to say that?s wrong
G
I was in the chess club
D
Didn?t have a swimming pool much less a true love
C
Didn?t have a dalliance much less a hot tub
E C
I was just a brain whose brain never let up
D G
Who?s to say that?s wrong
C
The twelve years after five
C G
Are years we?re lucky to survive
E
Hang in there friends forever
D
In memory far away
C
Hang in there friends forever
E D G
In memory far away
G
Went out for the football team
D
Found out the hard way that you can?t live your Dad?s dream
C
Had pretty thin skin to be in the machine
E C
Then I found a guitar and the rest?s a fanzine
D G
Who?s to say that?s wrong
C
The moral of the song
C
Is that the high school kids are wrong
C
You know they have been all along
C G
Come graduation you?ll be gone
E
Hang in there friends forever
D
In memory far away
C
Hang in there friends forever
E D G
In memory far away
[Solo]
