Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
drums then G
I was a debater
Was not a stoner nor an inline skater
Was not a player nor a player hater
I was just a bookworm on a respirator
Whos to say thats wrong
I was in the chess club
Didnt have a swimming pool much less a true love
Didnt have a dalliance much less a hot tub
I was just a brain whose brain never let up
Whos to say thats wrong
The twelve years after five
Are years were lucky to survive
Hang in there friends forever
In memory far away
Hang in there friends forever
In memory far away
Went out for the football team
Found out the hard way that you cant live your Dads dream
Had pretty thin skin to be in the machine
Then I found a guitar and the rests a fanzine
Whos to say thats wrong
The moral of the song
Is that the high school kids are wrong
You know they have been all along
Come graduation youll be gone
Hang in there friends forever
In memory far away
Hang in there friends forever
In memory far away
solo over verse chords
The moral of the song
Is that the high school kids are wrong
You know they have been all along
Come graduation youll be gone
Hang in there friends forever
In memory far away
Hang in there friends forever
In memory far away
In memory far away
end on
ps. if youre playing this electric...for the verse play the E as a bar chord on the 7th
fret of the A string and for the chorus play the E as an open E cause thats how it is on
the recording
if you wanna play it acoustic using all open chords it sounds cool too
