Don't you know, yes I know start the show

[Verse 2]

Saved my lunch money

For a month or so

Then I bought an old guitar

from a friend I know

Wrote a few songs

for the talent show

E D

Here we go here we go

[Chorus]

Start the show

Strike the chords

We'll play them high and low

And all the pretty girls

Shake their heads and twirl

E D

In the front row

Start the show

Let's all go

E D

Grab the mic and Let the haters know

A D

Make them sing along to the words you wrote

E D

They won't know

A x2

[Verse 3]

Remember how you flipped

When you broke a string

At the gig where we played

Fascination Street

Or playing out of tune

At the high school gig

Were Verner saved the day

With his charm and wit

Those were the days

full of innocence

Where we'd play to 3 people

Making 50 cents

What happened to the nights

Full of smiles and fun

E D

Where'd they go where'd they go?

[Chorus]

Start the show

Strike the chords

We'll play them high and low

And all the pretty girls

Shake their heads and twirl

Now were making records

In the studio

And were playing to the fans

At the secret show

Losing all the spark

Of that high school band

And fighting over words

Getting out of hand

If I could get the drummer

just to start a groove

A A E D

[Chorus]

Start the show

Strike the chords

We'll play them high and low

And all the pretty girls

Shake their heads and twirl

E D

In the front row

Start the show

Let's all go

E D

Grab the mic and Let the haters know

A D

Make them sing along to their favorite song
