[Intro]
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm Bbm Bbm x4

[Verse 1]
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm
I'm not a bad guy
Bbm Bbm Ebm Ebm Abm Abm Bbm Bbm
So don't treat me bad if I'm feeling sad, alright?
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm
Please don't be mad if I don't smile back, alright?
Bbm Bbm Ebm Ebm Abm Abm
If I fuck up my words, don't think I'm absurd, alright?
Bbm Bbm
Alright?

[Pre-Chorus]
Ebm Ebm
I'm physically exhausted
Bbm Bbm Abm Abm
Tired of my knuckles piercing
Ebm Ebm Bbm Bbm
I'm chewing gum to pass this time
Abm Abm
Sadness, can't you see it?
Ebm Ebm Bbm Bbm
You're too busy seeking selfish wishes
Abm Abm
Look at how I'm feeling
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm
You write me up and say it's love
N.C.
And I can't believe it

[Chorus]
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm
Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm
I can feel your blood pressure rise, fuck this tension
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm
Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention?
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm
Pretending everything's alright is detention

[Post-Chorus]
Ebm Ebm
De-detention
Abm Abm
De-detention
Ebm Ebm N.C.
Pretending everything's all right is (Shh!)

[Verse 2]
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm Bbm Bbm
The teachers don't care about me
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm Bbm Bbm
Fuck how I feel, as long as I make money
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm Bbm Bbm
They let them do whatever they want to me
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm
They're the customer, I'm chopped meat
Bbm Bbm
I'm chopped meat

[Pre-Chorus]
Ebm Ebm
I'm physically exhausted
Bbm Bbm Abm Abm
Tired of my knuckles piercing
Ebm Ebm Bbm Bbm
I'm chewing gum to pass this time
Abm Abm
Sadness, can't you see it?
Ebm Ebm Bbm Bbm
You're too busy seeking selfish wishes
Abm Abm
Look at how I'm feeling
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm
You write me up and say it's love
N.C.
And I can't believe it

[Chorus]
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm
Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm
I can feel your blood pressure rise, fuck this tension
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm
Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention?
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm
Pretending everything's alright is detention

[Post-Chorus]
Ebm Ebm
De-detention
Abm Abm
De-detention
Ebm Ebm N.C.
Pretending everything's all right is (Shh!)

[Bridge]
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm
I wanna go home and you say, "Now is not the time"
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm
Fuck being all alone in back of the classroom, ah
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm
Stop calling up my phone, trying to say that I've been out of line
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm
When all I ever asked was to go to the bathroom

[Instrumental]
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm Bbm Bbm x2

[Chorus]
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm
Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm
I can feel your blood pressure rise, fuck this tension
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm
Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention?
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm Ebm Ebm
Pretending everything's alright is detention

[Outro]
Abm Abm Bbm Bbm
Tonight
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm Bbm Bbm
I can feel your blood pressure rise
Ebm Ebm Abm Abm Bbm Bbm
Let me crawl up into your mind
Ebm Ebm N.C.
Pretending everything's alright (is detention!)
