[Verse 1]
F                G                 Am
Afternoon in the homeroom, they're about to let you go

           F                G                   Am
And the locker slams on the plans you had tonight

            F              G                          Am
You've been messing around with your boyfriend, maybe better left alone

          F                   G                        Am
There's a wise guy that you know who could put you right

            F              G                 Am
In the lot, the boy that's idling by doesn't rev your heart

            F           G                    Am
'Cause it's only lonely spots he shares with you

        F          G                            Am
And the long halls and the gray walls are gonna split apart

                  F            G            Am
Believe it or not there's life after high school
[Chorus] And that's why
       F           G                     Am
The student body's got a bad reputation (oh yeah, oh yeah)

F              G                 Am
What they need is adult education

F                     G                    Am
You go back to school, it's a bad situation (oh yeah, oh yeah)

F             G               Am
What you want is an…….. adult
Education

Oh yeah [Verse 2]
    F                  G                          Am
The teacher don't know about how to deal with the student body

        F                 G                Am
And the underclassmen are flashing hot and cool

         F                          G                  Am
All your girlfriends care about the watch you wear and talkin' about it

              F           G               Am
Believe it or not there's life after high school
[Chorus] That's why
    F              G                     Am
The student body's got a bad reputation (oh yeah, oh yeah)

What they need is adult education

       F               G                   Am

You're waiting for a separation

You're nothing but another odd number

Dm                C
Memories that you won't remember

Am
So you got a little education

Am
And a lot of dedication

Dm
But you want a little night school

Dm                    C
Maybe some of it will rub off on you

Am
The boys are busy in the mirrors

Am
Trying to imitate their heroes

Dm
You make it with a false surrender

Dm                C
More memories you won't remember

Am
The senior with the junior Miss

Am
I wonder what the junior wishes

Dm
That she could graduate to adult

That she could graduate to adult kisses

Am
The low point of high school is what you wear
