Intro: F C G C F

Verse:

      F                          C
I owe thirty-five dollars to the library
   G                  C
At Humboldt State University
      F                   C
But I dropped out fifteen years ago
      G                     Bb        C/G
And I never paid it and I'm still not gonna.

  F            C
I never got my report card
      G                        C
And I didn't go to class and I didn't work hard
     F                     C
So I didn't wanna know how bad I did
      G                     Bb      C/G
But I know I never made the dean's list.


Chorus:

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

Bridge:

F C G C F C G Bb C/G

Verse:

F                 C
Forty bucks for a bag of weed
       G               C
In the summer nineteen ninety three
F                C
Forty dollars is all I have
       G              Bb            C/G
And it isn't mine, it belongs to my parents.

    F                         C
Oh, five hundred points for a roll of cookie dough
      G                      C
In the cafeteria they've got sloppy joes
        F                C
And the sloppy joes cost three points
        G                     Bb   C/G
I won't eat in the spring but hey, cookie dough.


Chorus:

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


Final verse:

      F                          C
I owe thirty-five dollars to the library
   G                  C
At Humboldt State University
      F                   C
But I dropped out fifteen years ago
      G                     Bb        C
And I never paid it and I'm still not gonna.
