intro- drums then G
I was a debater
Was not a stoner nor an inline skater
Was not a player nor a player hater
I was just a bookworm on a respirator
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
I was just a brain whose brain never let up
Who’s to say that’s wrong
The twelve years after five
Are years we’re lucky to survive
Hang in there friends forever
In memory far away
Hang in there friends forever
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
Then I found a guitar and the rest’s a fanzine
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
Come graduation you’ll be gone
Hang in there friends forever
In memory far away
Hang in there friends forever
In memory far away
solo over verse chords
The moral of the song
Is that the high school kids are wrong
You know they have been all along
Come graduation you’ll be gone
Hang in there friends forever
In memory far away
Hang in there friends forever
In memory far away
In memory far away
end on
ps. if youre 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 thats how it is on
the recording
if you wanna play it acoustic using all open chords it sounds cool too
