verse:
C
Four years, you think for sure

That's all you've have to endure

All the total dicks, all the stuck-up chicks

So superficial, so immature

And then when you graduate

Am
You take a look around and you say, "Hey, wait!"

And you still don't have the right look

          F                    G
And you don't have the right friends
          F               C                        G 
Nothing changes but the faces, the names and the trends

Me With No You

[VERSE 1]
(G) It wasn't supposed to be like (D) this
Another dose of (Em) unhappiness
I gave it all and (C) managed to get shot down yet (G) again
So I got drunk 
(D) Had sex with all your friends (Em)
You told me to (C) never call your house again

[CHORUS]
G D A C    G     D       C  
Emily,    you saved the day
G D A C    Em        C  
Emily,    when you threw me away

          G
She was always such a pretty girl
  D
Nobody like her in the world
    Em
A little piece of heavenly
      C
That no one else could stand
   G
I see her in my dreams at night
   D
I see you when I close my eyes
   Em                             C-----
I just can't seem to shake you, Emily

[VERSE 2] Same as the first

You got your money and I got cast
Outside thrown out on my ass
In the city with no one else, no where else to go
So I hooked up with this model from Singapore
Emily, I sure am glad you didn't want me anymore

[CHORUS]

She was always such a pretty girl
Nobody like her in the world
A little piece of heavenly
That no one else could stand
I see her in my dreams at night
I see you when I close my eyes
I just can't seem to shake you, Emily
Yeah

Emily, you saved the day
Emily, you saved the day 
Emily, you saved my ass   end on G

E B C# D

He got up this morning

Six double martinis, a night on the town

It sure makes the mornings long
E B A
He never imagined a life time like this would be
E
The only thing to let him get in Break down:
A B
He gets up
E
He falls down
A
Wishes he could get the nerve to end it all now
A B
He picks up the phone
E
And he slams it down

And swallows another
A
Now he'll never come around
A B
It's all or none
C
It's one for one

You can make it
D
But ya' gotta do it all for yourself

8 o'clock, Monday night and I'm waitin' 
A                    D             E
To finally talk to a girl a little cooler than me.
A                         D              E 
Her name is Nona, she's a rocker with a nose ring,

She wears a two way, but I'm not quite sure what that

means. 
             E

Cause she is watchin' wrestling 
              E              
Creamin' over tough guys 
             Fm7
Listenin' to rap metal

Turntables in her eyes 

            Bm
It's like a bad movie 
               D
She is lookin' through me 
                     Fm7
If you were me, then you'd be 
                   D
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!" 
          Bm
As I fail miserably, 
                  E                     A
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want. 
          E                     A
She's the girl all the bad guys want! 


She likes the Godsmack and I like Agent Orange 
Her cd changer's full of singers that are mad at their
dad 
She says she'd like to score some reefer and a forty 
She'll never know that I'm the best that she'll never 
have 
And when she walks, 
All the wind blows and the angels sing. 
She'll never notice me! 
Cause she is watchin' wrestling 
Creamin' over tough guys 
Listenin' to rap metal 
Turntables in her eyes 
She likes 'em with a mustache 
Racetrack season pass 
Drivin' in A Trans-Am 
Does a mullet make a man? 
It's like a bad movie 
She is lookin' through me 
If you were me, then you'd be 
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!" 
As I fail miserably,
 Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want. 
She's the girl all the bad guys want! 
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!

There she goes again

With fishnets on, and dreadlocks in her hair 
             E                 D
She broke my heart, I wanna be sedated 
                            E
All I wanted was to see her naked! 

Now I am watchin' wrestling 
Tryin' to be a tough guy 
Listenin' to rap metal 
Turntables in my eyes 
I can't grow a mustache 
And I ain't got no season pass 
All I got's a moped...moped....moped..... 
It's like a bad movie 
She is lookin' through me 
If you were me, then you'd be 
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!" 
As I fail miserably,
 Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want. 

She's the girl all the bad guys want! 

She's the girl all the bad guys want! 

She's the girl all the bad guys want! 

She's the girl all the bad guys want!

8 o'clock, Monday night and I'm waitin'
D                    G             A
To finally talk to a girl a little cooler than me.
D                           G            A
Her name is Nona, she's a rocker with a nose ring,
D                             G             A          Bm
She wears a two way, but I'm not quite sure what that means.
 
Pre-Chorus:
              A
And when she walks,
          D                         G
All the wind blows and the angels sing.
     Em                  G
But she doesn't notice me!
 
Chorus:
                            D
Cause she is watchin' wrestling
                Em
Creamin' over tough guys

She is lookin' through me

If you were me, then you'd be

She likes the godsmack and I like agent orange
D                           G              A
Her cd changer's full of singers that are mad at their dad
D                                   G            A
She says she'd like to score some reefer and a forty
D                              G           A
She'll never know that I'm the best that she'll never have
 
Pre-Chorus:
Bm             A
And when she walks,
          D                 G

(Intro) F, G
          C
It was so long ago
              G
That feels so strange to say
            F                         C
How does 18 years ago seem just like yesterday
C
A hundred kids from around the world
                 G
On a ship to the great un-know
             F
Two Boys for every girl
                 C
You'd never been away from home
C
You were drinking something really green
                      G
Hopping around like a grasshopper
                     F
I was sipping diesel gasoline
                       C
Then I threw up on the mezzanine

  F            G                 C
I wonder if it ever crosses your mind
           F                      G                  C
'Cus I'm afraid it's something I dwell on all of the time
F                   G
I hear you're doin' amazing and
C                        Am
Believe me that makes me smile
F                        G                 C
But I hope you think of me every once in a while

F, G

                C
We watched the stars shine
                   G
Ate chicken by the slot machienes
              F
I was with a friend of mine
                 C
He got into your room mates jeans
C                                              G
We danced to aerosmith and then we watched the sun appear
                  F         
I took a braclet from your wrst
                    C
You took an ear ring from my ear
C
You twisted one last twirl 
                  G
And kissed me so f*****g hard
                     F
And all at once our friends would leave
                             C
Our hair had tangled in the ocean breeze
C
You told me you loved me
               G
I asked you if you were sure
              F
You said you thought so
                      C
And then I said that I loved you too


  F            G                 C
I wonder if it ever crosses your mind
           F                      G                  C
'Cus I'm afraid it's something I dwell on all of the time
F                   G
I hear you're doin' amazing and

F, G

G                  C  
Georgia girl meets Texas boy 
                 G
Place in time so far away
                  F
Like Leonardo D' Capreo 
                    C
But our ship sank a different way
C
A life time in four short days
                    G
Said goodbye and we never looked back
                     F
A few letters always ended the same
                   C
I loved you did you know that


  F            G                 C
I wonder if it ever crosses your mind
           F                      G                  C
'Cus I'm afraid it's something I dwell on all of the time
F                   G
I hear you're doin' amazing and
C                        Am
Believe me that makes me smile
F                        G                 C
But I hope you think of me every once in a while

Graduation Trip

 4 years you think for sure 
 F#m

 G                   
 all the total dicks,all the stuck-up chicks
 D
 so superficial so immature.
 A                      F#m
 then when you graduate,you take a look around and you say HEY WAIT!
 G                                           D
 this is the same as where I just came from, I thought it was over:

 with who's the best dressed and who's havin' sex
 A                    D            A
 who's got the money, who gets the honeys,
 D            A        E            A
 who's kinda cute, and who's just a mess.

 D                       C#m                    E
 nothing changes but the faces the names and the trends:
 D           E     A
 high school never ends
 
 

 Verse:
 A                          F#m
 check out the popular kids, you'll never guess what Jessica did.
 G                                  
 and how did Mary Kate lose all that wait?
 D
 and Katy had a baby so I guess Tom's strait.
 A                                 F#m
 and the only thing that matters, is getting up that social ladder.
 G
 still care about your hair and the car you drive.
 D
 doesn't matter if your 16 or 35.

more slapstick than chickflick

Val Kilmer

This song is talking about everything thing he almost had and then talks about the girl he liked.

Speaking with Songfacts about this song in a 2011 interview, Bowling for Soup lead singer Jaret Reddick said Emily is a real girl.

Speaking with Songfacts  about this song in a 2011 interview, Jarret Reddick said:  &quot;'Girl All The Bad Guys Want' was my very first co-write ever, and me and Butch Walker sat in a room and literally wrote that song in 30 minutes.&quot;

&quot;High School Never Ends&quot; is a song by the Texas punk band Bowling for Soup. The song was the first single off their seventh album, The Great Burrito Extortion Case, and was released on September 19, 2006. The song deals with the frustration of graduating high school and seeing that popular culture is very similar to culture in high school.

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah,

Chorus:  Down by the ri-ver,  I shot my ba-by

 Em        A
 Ooh, Ooh, shot her dead


Verse 2:You take my hand I'll take your hand, together we may get away,

        This must madness is too much sorrow, its impossible to make it

        today... She could drag me, over the rainbow, send me away


(Chorus)

  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.
