C#        G#              A#m                A
He was a boy, she was a girl, can I make it any
more obvious?
C#        G#            A#m           B
He was a punk, she did ballet, what more can I say?
C#         G#                A#m
He wanted her, she'd never tell that secretly
   A
she wanted him as well
C#               G#                     A#m
But all of her friends stuck up their nose,
             B
they had a problem with his
E
baggy clothes

Chorus:
           B                           A
He was a skater boy, she said see you later boy,
           G#              E
he wasn't good enough for her
            B                           A
She had a pretty face, but her head was up in space,
               G#                 A
she needed to come back down to earth

Five years from now, she sits at home
Feeding the baby, she's all alone
She turns on TV, guess who she sees
Sk8er boi rocking up MTV
She calls up her friends, they already know
And they've all got tickets to see his show
She tags along, stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned down

Chorus:
He was a sk8er boi, she said, “See you later, boy”
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a superstar, slammin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
He was a sk8er boi, she said, “See you later, boy”
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a superstar, slammin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?

C#m                          E
Sorry girl, but you missed out,
                                  B
Well, tough luck that boy's mine now
                             A
We are more than just good friends
         G#            C#m
This is how the story ends
                           E
Too bad that you couldn't see,
                            B
See the man that boy could be
                             A
There is more than meets the eye
           G#              C#
I see the soul that is inside

He's just a boy and I'm just a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
We are in love, haven't you heard
How we rock each other's
How we rock each other's
How we rock each other's
How we rock, how we rock each
How we rock each other's world

I'm with the sk8er boi, I said, "See you later, boy"
I'll be backstage after the show
I'll be at a studio, singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know
I'm with the sk8er boi, I said, "See you later, boy"
I'll be backstage after the show
I'll be at a studio, singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know
