This Isnt Hogwarts

            G
I hate this place,
      C               D           
I can barely keep the misery off 
  G
my face,
             D                     
Yeah there's one place i much 
  C
rather be,
       D                  
Taking transfiguration and 
 C
arithmancy,
    G               C             
And hanging with my friends in the
     D
 owlery,
    G                             
But instead i'm learning parts of 
C
speech,
    D                  G
And trying not to fall asleep,
    C                         D   
And avoiding the only girl in 
                  G
school who might like me,

(Pause)
           G
It's so grotesque,
         C                     
When the guy sitting next to me 
 D                   G
drools all over his desk,
      D                      
And i almost raise my hand to 
 C
complain,
           D                       
But then i realize i that i wanna 
  C
be doin' the same,
     G                C           
So i put my head down on my desk 
  D
as well,
    G                      C
And suddenly im learning a spell,
   D                      G
To make my teacher's head swell,
    C
But then he wakes me up,
    D                G
And i can't help but yell,

Engorgio!!

(Pause)
           G                 
This isn't hogwarts this is a 
C         G
concrete box,

        C                       
And the pictures on the wall are 
             G
never gonna talk,
        C              G          
And the teachers don't care that 
   C          G
the kids don't try,
             C                     
And the most magical thing we have 
               G
is fluorescent lights,
         C                         
And they don't put you in 
                D
hufflepuff if you're not cool,
  C                                
Instead they sort you in the 
            D
parking lot after school,
      C                         
And i think if i looked into the 
              D
mirror of erised,
       C                        
I'd be wearing wizard robes with 
          D
gold and red,
        C              D          
I'm not sayin' i'm not proud to be
   G
 a nerd,
           C               D      
But public school ain't no place 
    G
for a wizard
            C               D     
Yeah public school ain't no place 
      G
for a wizard

(Pause)
             G
Y'know whats gross,
         C                     D  
When the lunch meat looks like 
                 G
three day old soggy toast,
         D               C
But as i ate it anyway i overheard,
     D                         C
This guy i hardly know callin' me a 
nerd,
     G                       C 
So i cast "sectum sempra" on him 
            D
inside my mind,
                  G                
I wish there were house elves 
     C
makin' my food,
    D                        G
And everything was perfectly spiced,
        C              D          
And the only one being rude was 
  G
the poltergeist,

(Pause)
                  G
And here's what's true,
       C              D           
I'd do pretty much anything to go 
          G
to wizard school,
         D                        
I'd even call dolores umbridge my 
C
friend,
      D                            
If it meant i'd never have to go to
 C
 gym again,
      G                         
But i look around at all of this 
 C                      D
crap that's part of my life,
   G                  C
No ghost stalkin' the halls,
   D                       G
Or hangin' in the bathroom stalls,
        C
And the stairs don't move,
      D                    G
Cause there's no stairs at all.

           G
