F                                  DmHere are the woods where you would hide
         BbFrom everyone you would avoid
F                          DmThey've been cut down into paper
         BbFor some school in Illinois
F                            DmHere is your car you used to drive
            BbDied in the wreck to keep you alive
F                               DmYou've got angels looking after you
                   BbAnd you're begging them

FYour journal disagrees
           Dm                    BbAnd your peers, oh they don't believe you
        F                  Dm           BbYou're not alone in this pool you're swimming
       F            Dm             BbThe lifeguard will keep you from drowning
        F                  Dm           BbYou're not alone in this pool you're swimming
