[Verse 1]
A5                                            C5 G5 C5 G5 C5 G5 C5 G5
  Don't you think that I'm bound to react now?
A5                                          C5 G5 C5 G5 C5 G5 C5 G5
  My fingers definately turning to black now
E5                  G5
  Maybe I'll put my love on ice
    A5                  C5             A5
And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice

[Verse 2]
A5                                                C5 G5 C5 G5 C5 G5 C5 G5
  My books are sitting at the top of the stack now
A5                                                C5 G5 C5 G5 C5 G5 C5 G5
  The longer words are really breaking my back now
E5                    G5
  Maybe I'll learn to understand
A5                      C5            A5
Drawing a square with a pencil in hand

  Unequivocally showing my age
A5                            D5
  I'm practically center stage
A5                             D5 E5
  Unde niably earning your wage
                  G5
Maybe I'll put my love on ice

And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice

[Verse 3]
A5
Listen master can I ask you a question
C5 G5 C5 G5 C5 G5 C5   G5     A5
                    Is it the fingers,
                                              C5 G5 C5 G5 C5 G5 C5 G5
or the brain that you're teaching this lesson?
E5                   G5
  I cant tell ya how proud I a'm ,
  A5                   C5              E5
I write about things I dont understand,
                  G5
Maybe I'll put my love on ice
    A5                  C5
And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice
