Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]My little girl said,
"Mommy the schoolroom breaks my heart
[G]Arithmetic reminds me that
you and dad's apart
[Em]Subtract[D]ion starts me breaking up
'cause him from us leaves [G]too
And with our home di[D]vided now,
I [A]cry a lot in school"
[D][A]

[Verse 2]
[D]
"Don't [G]make me go to school no
more and [D]cry through every test
[G]I'm so [D]ashamed [G]when children
see the [E]teardrops on my [A]desk"
[D]Imagine how you'd feel to hear
your child say this to [G]you:
"Don't make me [Em]go to[D] school no more and ma[A]ke

[Interlude 1]
the fifth grade blue"
[D][Eb][D][G][D][A][D][B]

[Verse 3]
"It's [E]hard to see my lessons,
the blackboard's one big tear
And [A]when I turn wet papers in,
Miss Dickens only stares
So [E]please may I be absent mom,
like daddy is from [Bb]home[A]
I'd rather fail than [E]face the class,
they [B]know my daddy's gone"
[E]

[Verse 4]
"Don't [A]make me go to school no
more and [E]cry through every test
I'm [A]so ashamed when children see
the [F#]teardrops on my [B]desk"
[E]Imagine how you'd feel to hear
your child say this to [A]you:
"Don't make me go to school [E]no
more and [B]make the fifth grade blue"
