Hank Green – This Isnt Hogwarts (Guitar)

            G
I hate this place,

      C               D             G
I can barely keep the misery off my face,

             D                       C
Yeah there's one place i much rather be,

       D                   C
Taking transfiguration and arithmancy,

    G               C                  D
And hanging with my friends in the owlery,

    G                             C
But instead i'm learning parts of speech,

    D                  G
And trying not to fall asleep,

    C                         D                     G
And avoiding the only girl in school who might like me,

           G
It's so grotesque,

         C                      D                   G
When the guy sitting next to me drools all over his desk,

      D                       C
And i almost raise my hand to complain,

           D                         C
But then i realize i that i wanna be doin' the same,

     G                C             D
So i put my head down on my desk as well,

    G                      C
And suddenly im learning a spell,

   D                      G
To make my teacher's head swell,

    C
But then he wakes me up,

    D                G
And i can't help but yell,

           G                 C         G
This isn't hogwarts this is a concrete box,

        C                                    G
And the pictures on the wall are never gonna talk,

        C              G             C          G
And the teachers don't care that the kids don't try,

             C                                    G
And the most magical thing we have is fluorescent lights,

         C                                         D
And they don't put you in hufflepuff if you're not cool,

  C                                            D
Instead they sort you in the parking lot after school,

      C                                       D
And i think if i looked into the mirror of erised,

       C                                  D
I'd be wearing wizard robes with gold and red,

        C              D             G
I'm not sayin' i'm not proud to be a nerd,

           C               D          G
But public school ain't no place for a wizard

            C               D           G
Yeah public school ain't no place for a wizard

             G
Y'know whats gross,

         C                     D                   G
When the lunch meat looks like three day old soggy toast,

         D               C
But as i ate it anyway i overheard,

     D                         C
This guy i hardly know callin' me a nerd,

     G                       C             D
So i cast "sectum sempra" on him inside my mind,

                  G                     C
I wish there were house elves makin' my food,

    D                        G
And everything was perfectly spiced,

        C              D            G
And the only one being rude was the poltergeist,

                  G
And here's what's true,

       C              D                     G
I'd do pretty much anything to go to wizard school,

         D                        C
I'd even call dolores umbridge my friend,

      D                             C
If it meant i'd never have to go to gym again,

      G                          C                      D
But i look around at all of this crap that's part of my life,

   G                  C
No ghost stalkin' the halls,

   D                       G
Or hangin' in the bathroom stalls,

        C
And the stairs don't move,

      D                    G
Cause there's no stairs at all.

           G                 C         G
This isn't hogwarts this is a concrete box,

        C                                    G
And the pictures on the wall are never gonna talk,

        C              G            C          G
And the teachers don't care and the kids don't try,

             C                                    G
And the most magical thing we have is fluorescent lights,

         C                                         D
