I'm not a bad guy
   Bbm                   Ebm                       Abm Bbm
So don't treat me bad if I'm feeling sad, alright?
                       Ebm                          Abm
Please don't be mad if I don't smile back, alright?
     Bbm                     Ebm                        Abm
If I xxxx up my words, don't think I'm absurd, alright?
Bbm
Alright?
 
Pre-Chorus:
Ebm
I'm physically exhausted
Bbm         Abm
Tired of my knuckles piercing
Ebm                          Bbm
I'm chewing gum to pass this time
         Abm
Sadness, can't you see it?
Ebm                     Bbm
You're too busy seeking selfish wishes
Abm
Look at how I'm feeling
Ebm                          Abm
You write me up and say it's love
      -nc-
And I can't believe it
 
Chorus:
Ebm                   Abm
Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?
Ebm                            Abm
I can feel your blood pressure rise, xxxx this tension
Ebm                       Abm
Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention?
Ebm                        Abm
Pretending everything's alright is detention
 
Post-Chorus:
Ebm
De-detention
Abm
De-detention

Pretending everything's all right is -Shh!-

xxxx how I feel, as long as I make money
Ebm                            Abm     Bbm
They let them do whatever they want to me
            Ebm                        Abm
They're the customer, I'm chopped meat
            Bbm
I'm chopped meat

Ebm
I'm physically exhausted

I'm chewing gum to pass this time

Sadness, can't you see it?

You're too busy seeking selfish wishes

Bridge:
Ebm                           Abm
I wanna go home and you say, "Now is not the time"
Ebm                                 Abm
xxxx being all alone in back of the classroom, ah
Ebm                                          Abm
Stop calling up my phone, trying to say that I've been out of line
Ebm                                    Abm
When all I ever asked was to go to the bathroom
