Verse 1
When I was (D major) young (E minor) (D major)
and they packed me off to school (F sharp major)
And (G major) taught me (D major) how not to play the game (A major) (D major)
I didn't mind if they
groomed me for success
(F sharp major) (G major) Or if they said (D major) that I was just a fool (E minor) (A major)
(D major) So I left there in the morn (E minor) ing
(D major) With their God tucked
underneath my (F sharp major) arm
Their (G major) half-assed smiles (D major) and
the book of rules
(Asus4) (A major)

(B minor) When (G major) that was just an ac (D major) cident of birth (F sharp major)
I'd (B major) rather look around me,
compose a better song
(B minor) 'Cause (G major) that's the hon
