[Intro]
G A C Dm Am     


[Verse]
       Em                B
Almost every other day I wake up and I think
       C                        D
I'm so happy my school days are done
             Em
And although many years have passed
        B
Oh, the memories they last
          C                           D
They will haunt me 'till I'm dead and gone


[Chorus]
             G           D
So here's to you all you high school kids
       C                           D
I'm so sorry for what you're going through
               G
This one's for you
     D                    C                         D
Some encouragement to remind you there's life after school

[Verse]
        Em                         B
I was a fag, I was a geek, I was a loser and a freak
           C               D
I tried my best just to be invisible
      Em
I was counting all my days
      B
I was planning my escape
     C                           D
It's amazing that kids can be so cruel


[Chorus]
             G           D
So here's to you all you high school kids
       C                           D
I'm so sorry for what you're going through
               G
This one's for you
     D                    C                         D
Some encouragement to remind you there's life after school

[Verse]
          Em                       B
Well, the four years went by and I made it out alive
      C                       D
And I started to live my real life
        Em                                B
Now I'm happy and I'm free and this whole world belongs to me
            C                              D
If you just hang on, I swear you'll be all right


[Chorus]
             G           D
So here's to you all you high school kids
       C                           D
I'm so sorry for what you're going through
               G
This one's for you
     D                    C                         D
Some encouragement to remind you there's life after school
