Lyrics

[Intro]
| Bb - | Eb F | Bb - | Eb F |
| Bb - | Eb F | Bb - | Eb F |
| Bb - | Eb F | Bb - | Eb F |

[Verse 1]
Bb            Eb         F    Bb
  It's just somethin' people say
             Eb       F      Bb
They don't really feel that way
             Eb          F      Bb
Prepschool gangsters make the call
         Eb        F     Bb
As the summer turns to fall

[Break]
       | Eb F | Bb - | Eb F |
| Bb - | Eb F | Bb - | Eb F |

[Verse 2]
Bb        Eb        F     Bb
  I was tired but wakin' up 
        Eb         F     Bb
I was dying to test my luck
              Eb           F     Bb
Prepschool gangsters barred the way
           Eb      F       Gm
There was nothin' I could say

[Chorus]
          Dm               Cm
Call me jealous, call me mad 
        Dm               Gm
Now I got the thing you had
           Dm               Cm
Somewhere in your family tree 
            F7               Bb
There was someone just like me 

[Break]
       | Eb F | Bb - | Eb F |
| Bb - | Eb F | Bb - | Eb F |

[Verse 3]
Bb       Eb     F     Bb
  I was only walkin' by 
         Eb         F      Bb
Didn't mean to catch your eye
            Eb         F     Bb
It's just somethin' people say 
            Eb           F       Gm
You could lose some teeth that way 

[Chorus]
          Dm                Cm
Call it business, call it war 
           Dm                     Gm
Cutting class through revolvin' doors
            Dm               Cm
Yours was better, mine was worse
          Dm                   Gm
'Til it took on the fifthgen curse
          Dm               Cm
Call me jealous, call me mad 
        Dm               Gm
Now I got the thing you had
           Dm               Cm
Somewhere in your family tree 
            F7               Bb
There was someone just like me
