Intro: G-F-E-D-E-C-A-B-E-D- B(4x)
YGou cFan take me to Cthe prom
Promise not to tell youGr mom,
Mama never teFlls you Cwhy,
While she kicks you in tGhe eye
I doFn't think she undeCrstands
I just wanna hold yoGur hand
I don't even owFn a caCr so we couldn't get that far..
(Do verse Chords)
Father Markus said to me
Just confess and you'll be free. 
Sit you down upon my lap
Tell me your sins, just like that
He said baby, know the rules
You're living in a catholic Shool
All the teachers say your fine
But they don't have dirty minds
Refrain:
I Dam only in my tCeens, I live only for my drDeams
                  C (break)                   (Do intro)  
I cannot be made to stay, Life's a journey anyway
Solo:(Intro Chords)
GTeacher, teacher please make me well
GI don't want to go to hell, TeaGcher, teacher what can I do?
I Gdon't know boy, it's up to you
FIt's time to free your mind
It's time to cleanse your soul (2x)
AmYo father forgive me for I have sinned
AmI'd rather talk to God but he's out and your in
AmIt's little complicated, but father don't sweat it
AmYou can hear me out or you can just forget it
AmNow I haven't been to church in about ten years
AmAnd one time I had to pull my little sister's ears
AmBut I'm not really violent and it shows
AmI go for flower power as that stupid song goes
AmSometimes I tell a lie, butonly when it's true
AmAnd I often say things, Sh** and f*** you
AmAnd I like to read a lot of dirty teachers a lot of dirty looks
AmBut this is the last thing that I'm ever gonna say

Sometimes I tell a lie, butonly when it's true

And I often say things, Sh** and f*** you

And I like to read a lot of dirty teachers a lot of dirty looks

But this is the last thing that I'm ever gonna say
