[Verse]

C
       Three important rules for breaking up:

C
   Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to

Prolonging the situation only makes it worse

C
 Tell him honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly

Don't make a big production

C
  Don't make up an elaborate story

This will help you avoid a big tear jerking scene

                               F#dim/C 
If you wanna date other people say so

                                           B5
Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected

Even if you've gone together for only a short time

C
  And haven't been too serious,there's still a feeling of rejection

When someone says she prefers the company of others

     C
 To your exclusive company, but if you're honest, and direct,

                                                     C
And avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you break the news,

The boy will respect you for your frankness,

                                          F#dim/C 
And honestly he'll appreciate the kind of straightforward manner

In which you told him your decision

              B5
Unless he's a real jerk or a cry baby you will remain friends!

[Chorus]

                Am             G
I'm head of the class, I'm popular

                  Am           G
I'm a quarterback,     I'm popular

                  Am             G
My mom says I'm a catch, I'm popular

               F                           C
I'm never last picked, I got a cheerleader chick

[Verse]

C
  Being attractive is the most important thing there is

If you wanna catch the biggest fish in your pond

C
  You have to be as attractive as possible

Make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean

C
  Wash it at least every two weeks, Once every two weeks!

And if you see Johnny football hero in the hall

F#dim/C
        Tell him he played a great game

             B5
Tell him you like his article in the newspaper

[Chorus]

              Am            G
I'm the party star, I'm popular

                Am           G
I've got my own car, I'm popular

               Am              G
I'll never get caught, I'm popular

                F                    C
I make football bets, I'm a teachers pet

[Verse]

C
  I propose we support a one month limit on going steady

C
  I think it would keep people more able to deal with weird situations

And get to know more people

C
  I think if you're ready to go out with Johnny

Now's the time to tell him about your one month limit F#dim/C (B) He won't mind, he'll appreciate your fresh look on dating! B5 (B) And once you've dated someone else you can date him again! F#dim/C (B) I'm sure he'll like it! Everyone will appreciate it! Gadd11(no5)/C You're so novel, what a good idea! F#dim/C (B) You can keep you time to your self! B5 (B) You don't need date insurance! You can go out with whoever you want to! F#dim/C (B) B5 (B) Every boy, every boy, in the whole world could be yours!

F#dim/C (B)                        B5  
       If you'll just listen to my plan: THE TEENAGE GUIDE TO POPULARITY!

I make football bets, I'm a teachers pet
