[Intro]
F I’m Dead Ebm F The blood is all but draining from my head Ebm F The nightmare started there but now has spread Ebm Gb My pulse is certainly dropping Db Gb F And my life is hanging on by a thread (I’m scared) Ebm F Someone comes for me I’m unprepared Ebm Eb The wait has got me sweating Dbm Db You can’t cut through all the tension F It’s hell on Earth, you know Bbm I’m tweetin’ all about it F I take it blow by blow Bbm But I’d never scream or shout it
N.C
Passing period is over, everyone find your seats
[Chorus]
F Ab High School is killing me Bb It’s got me all out of rhythm and my melody F It’s not cool Ab It’s a fallacy Bb It’s a cruel and unusual brutality F Ab And I can survive it Bb Db For only so long F Ab High school is killing me F I’m so fucking dead
[Interlude]
F Ab Alright, class, pop quiz Bb Db I hope you’ve been hitting those books, Miss Lauter
(Shit)
[Verse 1]
F Ab I was up all late last night Bb Db And I couldn’t fucking study F (Didn’t want to anyway) Ab I was deep in a twitter fight Bb Db About a problematic puppy F (problematic pooch) Ab I had heart palpitations Bb Db Trying to convert crypto to lunch money F Ab There’s nowhere to turn Bb For the class of twenty twenty-wern
[Chorus]
F Ab High school is killing me Bb It’s got me all out of rhythm and my melody (my melody) F A cesspool Ab Faux democracy Bb It’s one hell of a normal abnormality Bb Ugh! Agh! Arrgh! F Ab And I can survive it Bb Db for only so long F Ab High School is killing me
I’m so fucking-

F F Your name’s Peter right? (yeah) Eb Hey, Pete, we’ve been in classes together Bb For a long time, haven’t we? (I’m so fucking dead) F Since the first grade F But I’m just realising Eb Bb I’ve never introduced myself, Im Stephanie (I’m so fucking dead) F F Lauter, the mayor’s daughter, I know Eb Yeah, but my friends all call me Steph Bb We’re friends, aren’t we Pete? (I’m so fucking dead) F I don’t know,are we? F Eb Well, I wouldn’t advertise it to the whole school or anything Bb F But uh… (High School!) F But there’s an unspoken bond between us Eb We’re classmates, comrades, we’re Nighthawks Bb And we don’t leave anyone behind F But I got left behind this morning F the bus driver’s a fucking asshole Eb Bb We succeed together we fail together F F I won’t mince words, I’m gonna fail this test, Peter Eb Bb Unless you help me cheat

Cheat? (I’m so fucking dead)
[Bridge]
Bb Eight o’clock bell rings F Place my head on my desk F (Come on! Just finish your exam, pass it to me
and I’ll put my name on it!)
Bb Twelve o’clock, Girl Scout F Can’t I just get my rest? F (I’ll give you mine, and you can take the test all over again
Doesn’t that sound fun?)
Bb Three o’clock countdown Bb Everyday lockdown F Gm Classroom arrest F Bb C7 Is God the one giving the test? F Well yeah, but won’t we get in trouble? Eb Please, Pete, don’t you wanna help me out?
Oh, alright
