[Intro]

     F
I’m Dead
     Ebm                           
The blood is all but draining from 
   F
my head
     Ebm                           
The nightmare started there but now
     F
 has spread
    Ebm               Gb
My pulse is certainly dropping
       Db              Gb    
And my life is hanging on by a 
  F
thread (I’m scared)
Ebm                           F
Someone comes for me I’m unprepared
     Ebm             Eb
The wait has got me sweating
          Dbm                
You can’t cut through all the 
 Db
tension

F
It’s hell on Earth, you know
     Bbm
I’m tweetin’ all about it
  F
I take it blow by blow
        Bbm
But I’d never scream or shout it

Passing period is over, everyone 
find your seats

[Chorus]

      F                Ab
High School is killing me
                        Bb
It’s got me all out of rhythm and my
 melody
         F
It’s not cool
            Ab
It’s a fallacy
                 Bb
It’s a cruel and unusual brutality

    F     Ab
And I can survive it
    Bb      Db
For only so long
     F         Ab
High school is killing me
               F
I’m so fucking dead

[Interlude]

F        Ab
Alright, class, pop quiz
Bb                 Db
I hope you’ve been hitting those 
books, Miss Lauter

(Shit)

[First Part]

F            Ab
I was up all late last night
      Bb               Db
And I couldn’t fucking study
                     F
(Didn’t want to anyway)
                 Ab
I was deep in a twitter fight
        Bb         Db
About a problematic puppy
                  F
(Problematic pooch)

                  Ab
I had heart palpitations
                  Bb              
Trying to convert crypto to lunch 
Db
money
F                  Ab
There’s nowhere to turn
Bb
For the class of twenty twenty-wern

[Chorus]

      F                Ab
High school is killing me
                        Bb
It’s got me all out of rhythm and my
 melody (my melody)
      F
A cesspool
           Ab
Faux democracy
                   Bb
It’s one hell of a normal 
abnormality
Bb
Ugh! Agh! Arrgh!

    F         Ab
And I can survive it
    Bb      Db
For only so long
      F                Ab
High School is killing me

I’m so fucking-

Bb            F

But there’s an unspoken bond between
F
 us

We’re classmates, comrades, we’re 
Nighthawks
Bb
And we don’t leave anyone behind
F
But I got left behind this morning
F
The bus driver’s a fucking asshole
   Eb                  Bb
We succeed together we fail together

I won’t mince words, I’m gonna fail 
this test, Peter
Eb                 Bb

Twelve o’clock, Girl Scout

 community
