Intro: Dm A7 Bb A7
 
Verse 1:
       Dm                A7
Don't cut me, punch me, just let me go
  Bb                  A7
Into the nurse's office where I float away
    Dm                      A7
I'm pale as the loose leaf paper they grow
  Bb                       A7
From howling out all my lungs in the snow
 
Pre-Chorus:
             Dm
Yeah, I'm coughing
        A7
I'm bleeding
   Bb            A7
Band-Aids won't heal it
              Dm
Because they hate me
          A7          Bb
So I'm faking all of this
          A7
So they take me
 
Chorus:
         Dm          A7
Take me home, home, home
              Bb6              A7
Give me that pink slip of permission
            Dm       A7
This isn't all, all, all
                Bb6            A7
I'm tired of wishing I was ditching
 
Break:
 Dm A7 Bb A7
Oooooh
 
Verse 2:
  Dm            A7
Teacher, can I sit right there?
 Bb                       A7
This xxxxx behind me is cutting my hair
      Dm                A7
No, just sit your ass down at the chalkboard stare
  Bb                      A7
I fake up the seizure, I left outta there
 
Pre-Chorus:
             Dm
Yeah, I'm coughing
        A7
I'm bleeding
   Bb            A7
Band-Aids won't heal it
              Dm
Because they hate me
          A7          Bb
So I'm faking all of this
          A7
So they take me
 
Chorus:
         Dm          A7
Take me home, home, home
              Bb6              A7
Give me that pink slip of permission
            Dm       A7
This isn't all, all, all
                Bb6            A7
I'm tired of wishing I was ditching
