[Intro]

[Verse]
Am G                        
■  Afternoon in the homeroom
              Am           
They're about to let you go
        F           G          
And the locker slam on the plan
        Am     
You had tonight
            F       G             G7       
You've been messing around with a boyfriend
      Am               
Maybe better left alone
          G                     
There's a wise guy that you know
G7            Am   
Could put you right
D7            F   G                   
■  In the lot the boy that's idling by
            Am        
Doesn't rev your heart
            Fmaj7 G           
'cause it's only  lonely spots
               Am    
He shares with you oh
        G                            
And the long halls and the gray walls
                Am   
Are gonna split apart
                  Fmaj7   G   
Believe it or not there's life
           Am    
After high school


[Chorus]
    F              G                                
And that's why the student body got a bad reputation
Am             
Oh yeah oh yeah
F         G                      
What they need is adult education
       Am      F         G

         Am          
With the student body
        F             G           
And the underclassmen are flashing
        Am     
Hot and cool oh
         Fmaj7            G                  
All your girlfriends care about what you wear
    Am7             
And talking about it
           Fmaj7  G           
Believe it or not there's life
           Am    
After high school

[Verse]
                     Am         
They're calling it a preparation
Am7                            
You're waiting for a separation
Dsus4              G                 
You're nothing but another odd number
              C         Am7     
Memories that you won't remember
                    Am7      
So you got a little education
             Am7       
And a lot of dedication
Dsus4                             
But you want a little night school


[Chorus]
              C                  
Maybe some of it'll rub off on ya
Am                              
The boys are busy in the mirrors
                        Am    
Trying to imitate their heroes
Dsus4                             
You make it with a false surrender
Dm7           C         Am      
More memories you won't remember
    Am                         
The senior with the junior miss
Am7                                
■   I wonder what the junior wishes
Dsus4                           
That she could graduate to adult
                                 Dsus4 
That she could graduate to adult kisses
