Intro: F5 C5 F5 C5 F5

Verse:

      F5                          C5
I owe thirty-five dollars to the library
   G5                  C5
At Humboldt State University
      F5                   C5
But I dropped out fifteen years ago
      G5                     Bb5        C5
And I never paid it and I'm still not gonna.

  F5            C5
I never got my report card
      G5                        C5
And I didn't go to class and I didn't work hard
     F5                     C5
So I didn't wanna know how bad I did
      G5                     Bb5      C5
But I know I never made the dean's list.


Chorus:

    A5           E5
And college is a waste of time
       F5                     C5
If you wanna be a baker or a candlestick maker
A5                E5
You still have to wait in line
       F5                          C5
At the bank drive through and the train tracks too
       F5                   C5
Behind people like me with no degree
         G5                      C5
'Cause I know the conductor and he knows me
          F5                          C5
You might have a nicer car, but I've traveled pretty far
    G5                Bb5       C5
And all I have is an old guitar

Bridge:

F5 C5 G5 C5 F5 C5 G5 Bb5 C5

Verse:

F5                 C5
Forty bucks for a bag of weed
       G5               C5
In the summer nineteen ninety three
F5                C5
Forty dollars is all I have
       G5              Bb5            C5
And it isn't mine, it belongs to my parents.

    F5                         C5
Oh, five hundred points for a roll of cookie dough
      G5                      C5
In the cafeteria they've got sloppy joes
        F5                C5
And the sloppy joes cost three points
        G5                     Bb5   C5
I won't eat in the spring but hey, cookie dough.


Chorus:

    A5           E5
And college is a waste of time
       F5                     C5
If you wanna be a diver or a big rig driver.
A5                E5
You still have to go to the store
    F5                     C5
And share the road with a wide load
      F5             C5
Who's taking up all three lanes
         G5                          C5
And you can't get around him it's a big pain
        F5                      C5
And the driver hasn't slept in three whole days
       G5                          C5
But he knows one thing and that's freeways.
           F5                     C5
He's got a Gatorade bottle where he goes pee
    G5                           Bb5      C5
And you're behind him with your college degree.


Final verse:

      F5                          C5
I owe thirty-five dollars to the library
   G5                  C5
At Humboldt State University
      F5                   C5
But I dropped out fifteen years ago
      G5                     Bb5        F5
And I never paid it and I'm still not gonna.
