One day in spring, it was gym class
             F
That was the only class Shane passed

[Pre-Chorus]

Em     G           Dm
He was scaling the rope
Em        G             Dm
Some cool kid cracked a joke
Em             G                 
Oh man, he was mad, it was like 
        Dm
his ears smoked

[Chorus]

          F                       
And I saw Shane, and everyone was 
C
pushing him
              F      Em       Dm
And you could really feel his pain

And then before you knew it
All of a sudden there were these 
F
flames
               C
A fire started in the school
            F       C     Dm
That took a hundred lives away

[Verso 2]

C                            Am
Life is real tough when your parents
      F
Don't want you

C                         
Life can be tough when your 
  Am
girlfriend
     F
Don't want you

[Pre-Chorus]

Em        G        Dm
Daisy was his last hope
Em              G           Dm
But she thought Shane a big joke
Em              G             Dm
"Well we'll see who's the big joke 
when
Em          G          Dm
That school goes up in smoke!"

[Chorus]

          F                       
And I saw Shane, and everyone was 
C
pushing him
              F      Em       Dm
And you could really feel his pain

And it was right then
You started to see these, like, 
F
flames
               C
A fire started in the school
            F       C     Dm
That took a hundred lives away

[Bridge]

Bm                     F
   And oh whoa when he struck the 
match
                C
To make the big payback he said
G
"Shananananananana"
             F
He thought, "We're all so wrong"
       C
And he cried alone and he went
G
"Shananananananana"
        F
And the girl and the kids
             C
And all that his parents did, he 
said
G
"Shananananananana"
                 F
Ooh he thought, "We're all so wrong"
                   C
And with this he'd finally have won 
and baby now
G
"Shananananananana" Oh no no
       F                   C
But it increased the pain, poor poor
 Shane
G
"Shananananananana"
F                C
Poor poor Shane, poor poor Shane
G
"Shananananananana"
       F                   C
But it increased the pain, poor poor
 Shane
G
"Shananananananana"
       F                 C      G
And he ran and he and he ran
       F          C
And he ran and he ran
       G
And he ran
   F                     C
He increased their pain
G
"Shananananananana"
F                             
  And the kids and all that his 
  C
family did
        G
Just to increase the pain
                F
And then he ran away

( C  Am  F )

C                         Am      F
Life is can be tough when you're
C                           Am   
Life, life is so tough when no 
     F
one    wants you
C                                  
Life is real tough when just about 
G  Am            C
   no one at all wants you
