I can see you in the morning when you go to school.
G                                                         Dm

(+Clarinet)
Am                                                    Em
Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work,
    G                                         Dm
And be like Johnny Toogood. Don't you know he never shirks.

    G/A                                   Dm/A     F/A

E                  Am
Don't do this, and don't do that.

What are they tryin' to do?
D/A
Make a good boy of you.
Am           D          E 
Do they know where it's at?

      E                  Am
Don't criticise, they're old and wise.
Am
Do as they tell you to.
D/A
Don't want the devil to

   G/A                                Dm/A          F/A
Or maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know wrong from right. 
    Am                                    Em/A
But while I'm still living, I've just got this to say.
     G/A                            Am
It's always up to you, if you wanna be that,
F/A                   C           E 
Wanna see that, wanna see it that way.
               Am7+9 (Hold to finish)
You're coming along.
