        G 
In your black t-shirt, in the parking lot 
        Em                           C 
In your drone boots out back smoking pot 
G 
Gotta black eye and you wear it proud 
Em                   C       G 
Guns N' Roses way up loud 


        
Just a little cut up on your brow 
    Em                               C 
The principal said, "Don't come back now" 
G 
Every night it's a scream and shout 
          Em                             C 
There's a new boyfriend and he wants you out 


D                                    C 
You know you're gonna to pay for the things you do 
D                          C 
You know what you put your mama through 


INTERLUDE: G   C   G   C 


    G 
You hitchhike to work then you hitchhike back 
Em                                   C 
Hope you're home before the sky goes black 
G 
Cars go by, but they don't stop 
Em                          C 
These days no one picks you up
