[Intro]
G
I was a debGater
Was not a stoner nor an Dinline skater
Was not a player nor a Cplayer hater
EI was just a bookworm on a rCespirator
DWho’s to say that’s Gwrong
I was in the Gchess club
Didn’t have a swimming pool much Dless a true love
Didn’t have a dalliance much Cless a hot tub
EI was just a brain whose brain Cnever let up
DWho’s to say that’s Gwrong
The Ctwelve years after five
Are years we’re Clucky to surviveG  
Hang in there friends fEorever
In memory far Daway
Hang in there friends Cforever
In EmemorDy far Gaway
Went out for the Gfootball team
Found out the hard way that you can’t Dlive your Dad’s dream
Had pretty thin skin to be Cin the machine
EThen I found a guitar and the Crest’s a fanzine
DWho’s to say that’s Gwrong
The mCoral of the song
Is that the Chigh school kids are wrong
You know they Chave been all along
Come gradCuation you’ll be goneG  
Hang in there friends Eforever
In memory far Daway
Hang in there friends Cforever
In EmemorDy far Gaway
Solo over verse chords
The mCoral of the song
Is that the Chigh school kids are wrong
You know they Chave been all along
Come graCduation you’ll be gGone
Hang in there friends Eforever
In memory far Daway
Hang in there friends Cforever
In EmemorDy far Gaway
In EmemorDy far Gaway
   E     Dend on G  
P.S. if you're playing this electric...for the verse play the E as a bar chord on the 7th
fret of the A string and for the chorus play the E as an open E cause that's how it is on 
If you wanna play it acoustic using all open chords it sounds cool too.

[Intro]

I was a debater

Was not a stoner nor an inline skater

Was not a player nor a player hater

E C

I was just a bookworm on a respirator

D G

Who’s to say that’s wrong

I was in the chess club

Didn’t have a swimming pool much less a true love

Didn’t have a dalliance much less a hot tub

E C

I was just a brain whose brain never let up

D G

Who’s to say that’s wrong

The twelve years after five

C G

Are years we’re lucky to survive

Hang in there friends forever

In memory far away

Hang in there friends forever

E D G

In memory far away

Went out for the football team

Found out the hard way that you can’t live your Dad’s dream

Had pretty thin skin to be in the machine

E C

Then I found a guitar and the rest’s a fanzine

D G

Who’s to say that’s wrong

The moral of the song

Is that the high school kids are wrong

You know they have been all along

C G

Come graduation you’ll be gone

Hang in there friends forever

In memory far away

Hang in there friends forever

E D G

In memory far away

Solo over verse chords

The moral of the song

Hang in there friends forever
