Well the last one hurts like hell
        F       C
Knocked the wind right out of my sail
 G
I’ll heal up someday
        F
But it’s gonna leave the beauty of a scar

            C              Am7           Am
Now I think I’m gonna get drunk
        F            C
And pull the tire iron outta my trunk
G
And bang up all of my fenders
  F                  
Just so they can match my heart

             C   Am7  Am                      F
I’m tryin’ to get myself an education
C  Am7   Am     F    G
Cry one more tear towards graduation
        G       Am
‘Cause every Sunday my job phones
        C       F
“Come back around and clean my clock”
     F  G       C   Am7  Am   F
The bell is ringin’ down at the school of hard knock

           C    Am7     Am
They’re gonna inscribe my name
        F       C
Down at the bridge-burnin’ hall of fame
       G
As a fool who never learned
        F
What there ain’t no future in


        C       Am7     Am
So of the lessons we learned were leads
     F  C
But most bring us to our knees
G
I wish I could learn about love
         F
Without all the trouble that comes with it

            C   Am7  Am
I’m tryin’ to get myself an education
C   Am7  Am            F      G
Cry one more tear towards graduation

‘Cause every Sunday my job phones
        C       F
“Come back around and clean my clock”

The bell is ringin’ down at the school of hard knock
