“And I Was a Boy from School” by Hot Chip
I used some other people's chord interpretations to make this. I just fixed them up a
little, added the lyrics, and made up a little ending. It's not entirely accurate but
sounds pretty good when played alone on an acousstic or whatever.
Abm E
And I was a boy from school
B Abm E
Helplessly helping all the rules
Abm E
And there was a boy at school
B Abm E
Hopelessly wrestling all his fools
Abm E
And there was a girl at school
B Abm E
Blaming all the words she learned from home
Abm E
Nothing could keep her a child
B Abm E
Long hours, don't you know we tried?
C#m B E
We tried, but we didn’t have long
C#m B E
We try, but we don't belong
C#m B E
We tried, but we didn't have long
C#m B E
We try but we don't belong
Abm E
Now I find you on the street
B Abm E
Breaking rules hopelessly we meet
Abm E
Lives are found but loves are lost
B Abm E
Say goodbye to everything nothing caused
(repeat with other similar verse)
C#m B E
We tried, but we didn’t have long
C#m B E
We try, but we don't belong
C#m B E
We tried, but we didn’t have long
C#m B E
We try, but we don't belong, ohooohh
E
I got, I got lost
Am
You said this was the way back
E
I got, I got lost
Am E Am E Am
You said this was the way-- back
C#m B E
We tried, but we didn’t have long
C#m B E
We try, but we don't belong
C#m B E
We tried, but we didn’t have long
C#m B E
We try, but we don't belong. . .
