Intro
[Bsus4/A] [Esus2] [Emaj7/G#]
It's the first day of school, and I think I might quit
[Aadd2] [C#m] [B7]
'Cause the things I've been seeing in here don't make sense
[Esus2] [Emaj7/G#]
So I packed up my things, and I walked through the door
[Aadd2] [B] [B7] [E]
And I'm going somewhere else instead
Verse 1
[Esus2] [Emaj7/G#]
So, I chopped down some trees, and I built a small house
[Asus2] [B7]
And I just might be small enough to live in it
[Esus2] [B6add4/F#]
Then the rain came pouring down, and it made some cool sounds
[Asus2] [B7] [E]
And they'll tell you what those sounds said
Refrain 1
[C#m] [B/C#]
Said "Hello" and "Goodbye,"
[A] [E/G#] [C#m] [F#add2]
"Do you feel alright with the days gone by?"
[Emaj7/F#] [F#add2] [Emaj7/F#]
I'll never waste my time, I'll never say goodbye
[Aadd2] [A#sus4] [Bsus4] [Dm/B]
(Yes, I will, but I won't say it tonight)
Verse 2
[D#/B] [Esus2] [Emaj7/G#]
So I picked a new character, and I've just chose my shirt
[Asus2] [B7sus4]
And I'm going to the land of the two letter words
[E] [Emaj7/G#]
On in up at or so, by if to of no it
[Asus2] [B7sus4] [E]
It's a feeling we can't forget
Refrain 2
[C#m] [B] [A] [E/B]
Said "Hello" and "Goodnight," "Do you feel alright?"
[A] [E/G#] [Bmaj7sus2]
"Do you remember the days gone by?"
[A] [E/B] [A] [E/B] [F#add2]
"Do you remember the way that we dreamed we could change our lives?"
[F#m7] [A/G#] [A#/A] [Bsus4]
"Do you feel like changing your mind?"
Verse 3
[Esus2] [Emaj7/G#]
It's the first day of school, and I think I might quit
[Aadd2] [B7sus4]
Cause the things that I'm feeling still don't make sense
[E] [G#m]
And I've tried to explain, and it hurts to describe
[Aadd2] [B7sus4] [E]
So I'll sing this song instead
Instrumental
[Esus2] [G#m] [Aadd2] [B7sus4]
[Esus2] [Esus2/F#] [G#m] [G#m/B] [Aadd2] [B7sus4/F#] [E]
Bridge
[C#m] [B/C#]
Hello and goodbye
[Aadd2/C#] [C#m]
Do you think I'm dying?
[Aadd2] [C#m] [F#add2]
Do you think I'm going somewhere else this time?
[Aadd2] [B6add4] [A#m7] [Amaj13/C#] [A#m] [D#m9]
Do you remember the day we pretended to be every star in the sky?
Outro
[Aadd2/C#] [Esus2] [Emaj7/G#]
It's the first day of school, but I think I might quit
[Aadd2] [Bsus4]
Gonna learn some new lessons I won't forget
[Esus2] [Esus2/F#] [Emaj7/G#]
Gonna write them all down, in the language of love
[A] [B7] [E]
And I'll teach them to everyone
