The Papercut Chronicles II

As Cruel As School Children

The original Gym Class Heroes formed in 1997 when Travis &quot;Schleprok&quot; McCoy and drummer Matt McGinley became friends during physical education class while at high school in Geneva, New York, US and joined forces with guitarist Milo Bonacci and bassist Ryan Geise.   The original GCH began playing birthday parties, clubs, and festivals which eventually led to numerous larger venues throughout the northeast, including four years on Warped Tour (2003, 2004, 2006, 2008).

Wont sound right because you don't have the same range of octaves on a ukulele as a guitar. Did my best though.

# CHORUS :

C#m                     B
Take a look at my girlfriend
A
She's the only one I got
C#m                B
Not much of a girlfriend
A
I never seem to get a lot



# VERSES : 

C#m                                      B
It's been some time since we last spoke
                      E                          A  
This is gonna sound like a bad joke
                     C#m               B
But momma I fell in love again
                       E                       A
It's safe to say I have a new girlfriend


C#m                  B
And I know it sounds so old
          E               A
But cupid got me in a chokehold
        C#m                 B
And I'm afraid I might give in
              E                    A
Towels on the mat my white flag is wavin'


C#m                    B        
I mean she even cooks me pancakes
   E                           A
And Alka Seltzer when my tummy aches
C#m           B                 E
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is


C#m                  B
We even got a secret handshake
              E                      A
And she loves the music that my band makes
         C#m                     B
I know I'm young but if I had to choose her or the sun
E                    A
I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun

VERSE:

F#m, D, A, E7 (play throughout entire verse one bar per chord)

If I was just another dusty record on the shelf, will you blow me off and play me 
just like everybody else?
If I ask you to scratch my back could you manage that? Furthermore, I apologize 
for any skipping tracks.
It's just the last girl that play me left a couple cracks. I used to, used to, 
used to, used to now I'm over that,
'cuz holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts. If I could only find a note 
to make you understand...
I sing a song and the image grab me by the hands. keep myself inside your head 
like your favorite tune,
and know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you.

oh, oh-oh, oh... oh, oh-oh (to my stereo) oh, oh-oh, oh... just sing along to my stereo



verse 2: (same chords as first verse)


If I wasn't old school, fifty pound boombox - would you hold me on your shoulder 
wherever you walk?
Would you turn my volume up in front of the cops and crank it higher everytime 
they told you to stop?
And all I ask is that you don't get mad at me, when you have to purchase mad D 
batteries.
Appreciate every mix tape your friends make. You never know when we come and go 
like we're on the interstate.
I think I finally found a note to make you understand. If you hear this, sing 
along and take me by the hands.
Keep myself inside your head like your favorite tune, and know my heart is a 
stereo that only plays for you.

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, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

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.

when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E

time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.
