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

Who’s to say that’s wrong

 I was in the chess club

 Didn’t have a swimming pool much less a true love

 Didn’t have a dalliance much less a hot tub

I was just a brain whose brain never let up

Who’s to say that’s wrong

 The twelve years after five

 Are years we’re 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 can’t live your Dad’s dream

 Had pretty thin skin to be in the machine

Then I found a guitar and the rest’s a fanzine

Who’s to say that’s wrong

 The moral of the song

 Is that the high school kids are wrong

 You know they have been all along

 Come graduation you’ll 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 you’ll 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
