[Intro]
E Am E Am E Am E Am
[Verse 1]
E Am E
Monday morning wake up knowing that you gotta go to school
Am E
Tell your mum what to expect, she says it's right out of the blue
Am E
Do you wanna work in Debenham's, because that's what they expect
Am F C G F
Start in lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor
E Am E
And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start
Am E
For careers you say you wanna be remembered for your art
Am E
Your obsession gets you known throughout the school for being strange
Am F C G F
Making life-size models of the Velvet Underground in clay
E Am E
In the queue for lunch they take the piss, you've got no appetite
Am E
And the rumour is you never go with boys and you are tight
Am E
So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk
Am F C
While you're cleaning up the mess the teacher's looking up your skirt
[Chorus]
G F
Hey, you've been used,
C G F
Are you calm? Settle down
C G F
Write a song, I'll sing along
E
Soon you will know that you are sane
F
You're on top of the world again
[Break]

[Verse 2]
E Am E
Monday morning wake up knowing that you gotta go to school
Am E
Tell your Mum what to expect, she says it's right out of the blue
Am E
Do you wanna work in C&A, 'cause that's what they expect
Am F C G F
Move to lingerie and take a feel off Joe the store man
E Am E
Tell Veronica the secret of the boy you never kissed
Am E
She's got everything to gain 'cause she's a fat girl with a lisp
Am E
She sticks up for you when you get aggravation from the snobs
Am F C G F
'Cause you can't afford a blazer, girl you're always wearing clogs
E Am E
At the interval you lock yourself away inside a room
Am E
Head of English gets you, asks you, "what the hell do you think you're doing?"
Am E
"Do you think you're better than the other kids? Well get outside."
Am F C
You've got permission, but you got to make the bastard think he's right
[Chorus]
G F
Hey, you've been used
C G F
Write a song, I'll sing along
C G F
Are you calm? Settle down
E
Soon you will know that you are sane
F
You're on top of the world again
C G F
And you're cool and you know
C G F
You're a star, you'll go far
C G F
Think of me as a friend
E
Not just the boy who played guitar
F
You're on top of the world again
