D Dmaj7/C# D6/B D/A 
G Bm/F# Em A 

 
 D 
School is out 
      Dmaj7/C# 
And I walk the empty hallways 
 D6/B 
I walk alone 
 D/A 
Alone as always 
        Gmaj7 
There's so many lucky pennies 
 Bm/F# 
Lying on the floor 
              Emadd9 
But where the hell are all the lucky people 
       Asus4        A 
I can't see them anymore 

Verso 1:
  D                     Dmaj7/C# 
And there's such a nasty smell 
          D6/B 
In the bathroom 
      D/A 
The people float by 
            Gmaj7 
While the toilets are flushing 
            Bm/F#                                   Emadd9 
And there's all this shit written on the bathroom wall 

With a leaky pen 
   Asus4 
And Lisa loves Jason 
      A 
Oh, Jason loves Ben 

Verso 2: 
(A#dim)  Bm 
        And a letter from Michigan 
    Bm7/A 
Is sitting on my desk 
       Gmaj7 
And I remember one thought 
       Em/F#         Edim/A# 
But I forget all the rest 
       Bm 
And the ice cream is melted 
     Bm/A 
And dripping down my neck 
       Gmaj7                    Bm/F# 
And my bottles standing on the edge of the table 
       Em                         D Dmaj7/C# 
And I think it's in the mood to break 
        D6/B D/A 
Me, just break 
     Gmaj7 Bm/F# Em Asus4 A 
Me, just, just      break me 

Verso 3: 
 D                  Dmaj7/C# 
I messed myself up again 

Nobody really cares 
 D6/B                         D/A 
I wish I could just have some time 

To play with my old teddy bear 
     Gmaj7 
And maybe I could go 
    Bm/F# 
To teddy bear heaven 
  Emadd9 
Just like her 
                  Asus4                A 
Because well, she went when she was eleven 

Verso 4: 
D 
But I stayed late 
                 Dmaj7/C# 
Because I can't understand physics 
 D6/B 
I don't want to go home 
     D/A 
And cook myself dinner 
     Gmaj7 
Or look in the mirror 
      Bm/F# 
That big, fat mirror 
         Emadd9 
That swallows me up in a corridor 
             Asus4     A 
Oh, just swallows me whole 

Ponte: 
(A#dim) Bm 
  And cha-ching goes a robber 
     Bm7/A 
And cha-ching goes the gun 
     Gmaj7 
And cha-ching goes the bittersweet 
     Em/F#   Edim/A# 
Judgmental nun 
    Bm 
Cha-ching goes the gun 
    Bm7/A 
And cha-ching goes the purse 
    Gmaj7 
And cha-ching goes the over-fucked 
    Em/F#  Edim/A# 
Registered nurse 
         D Dmaj7/C# D6/B D/A 
Me, just nurse 
    Gmaj7 Bm/F# Em Asus4 A 
Me, just, just     nurse me 

 
D 
School is out 
      Dmaj7/C# 
And I walk the empty hallways 
 D6/B 
I walk alone 
 D/A 
Alone as always 
        Gmaj7 
There's so many lucky pennies 
 Bm/F# 
Lying on the floor 
              Emadd9 
But where the hell are all the lucky people 
          Em/F#             Em/G 
Where the hell are all the lucky people 
         A/C# 
I can't see them 
  D Dmaj7/C# D6/B D/A D 
Anymore
