F#m7              B     F#m7                   B
I laughed at the teachers  who taught in my school
F#m7                 B     F#m7              B
They kept one-armed bandits in the swimming pool
E                 A     Asus4 A
They don't understand me,
E               A  Asus4 A
But they never will
E              A            D             B
And if I was there, I'd be telling them still

Chorus:
E     Esus4 E
I'm not
     Esus4 E
Such a
A              Asus4 A  Asus4 A
Bad boy no more, no more, no more - x2

I followed the leader
Into her tent
But nobody told me that she owed some rent

Chorus - x2

She wanted to love me, I wanted to go
But she taught me things that I needed to know

Chorus - x2

I talked to my lawyer, he picked up my bail
Won't someone get me out of this lousy jail
We're both in agreement that grime never pays
And I should be out in a couple of days

Chorus - x4
