COh-hoo, (x32010@1)
Fmaj7
oh-hoo, 
Amoh-hoo... (x02210@1)
GOooh (320003@1)
[Same chords as the last verse]
In the hands of teachers, in the books you read
The things we say when we've lost the lead
I still try to speak up, when my voice won't make a sound
And I thought it all over too many times
When there is no use, and the lights are all out
I just give it up, and I walk home 
Past the shopping mall that's just closing... Down

[Play this part 2x]
