[Verse 1]
[Am]We h[D]ad P[Em]E on Tuesda[Am]ys
And English on [D]Wednesdays
[Em]School was a prison
Where I served my [F]time[C]
[Am]The teac[B]hers all loathed me
My attitude fooled [G]them[D]
[F]They qui[D]te often nailed me
To any old [Am]crime[D][Am][G][Am]
Life was so different
[G]For [Am]unde[G]rachievers
Who grew [Em]up surviving
[G]On scraps they were sent
[F][Am][G]
The painter[B]s, the singer[Am]s
The being un[G]usual
They ducked and they dived
[Am]Until they were [G]fed[D]
[G]Whoa- [Am]oh- oh
[C]Normal
Would [G]send me to sleep
So I [F]made my escape every
[C]day of the week
Normal
Would [G]not teach me much
So I [F]stayed at home and watched
[C]Starsky and [Dm]Hutch
I'm top of [D]the [G]form[Em][G][D]
I'm [Dm]top of t[D]he f[G]orm[Am][D][Em]
[Am]I never read Shakespeare
Or understood [D]Latin[Bm]
[Em]I lived in a small house
With no books [F]at all[C][Am]
But [B]there was a record
That I kept on [G]playing[D][G]
[D]I had my suitcase
Out in the [Am]hall[D][Em]
[Am]Life was so different
Or have I just grown [D]up[B]
And [Em]turned into someone
I feared I would [F]be[C][Am]
[B]The teacher who caned me
Is now on the inside
[G]He'[D]s g[G]ett[Dm]ing me[D]
back for my history
[Am]Whoa- oh- oh
[C]Normal
Would [G]lead me to drink
So I [F]moved out and stuck
my [C]head in the sink
Normal
Meant [G]nothing to me
But [F]that's just the way
That it [C]turned out to [Dm]be
I'm top of the [G]form[Em][Dm]
[Em]I'm [Dm]top of t[D]he f[G]orm
We had [F]fish on Friday
Normal
[C]Roast on Sunday
Normal
[F]Salads in summer
Normal
[Dm]Fresh from [G]the ground
We [F]all peeled potatoes
Normal
While [C]mum made the crumble
Normal
My [F]memory savours
Normal
[Dm]The love that we found
