[Verse 1]
C                         AmOne day in spring, it was gym class
             FThat was the only class Shane passed


[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em     G           AmHe was scaling the rope
Em        G             AmSome cool kid cracked a joke
Em             G                         AmOh man, he was mad, it was like his ears smoked


[Chorus]
          F                       CAnd I saw Shane, and everyone was pushing him
              F      Em       DmAnd you could really feel his pain

And then before you knew it
                                 FAll of a sudden there were these flames
               CA fire started in the school
            F       C     DmThat took a hundred lives away


[Verse 2]
C                            AmLife is real tough when your parents
      FDon't want you
C                           AmLife can be tough when your girlfriend
     FDon't want you


[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em        G        AmDaisy was his last hope
Em              G           AmBut she thought Shane a big joke
Em              G             Am"Well we'll see who's the big joke when
Em          G          AmThat school goes up in smoke!"


[Chorus]
          F                       CAnd I saw Shane, and everyone was pushing him
              F      Em       DmAnd you could really feel his pain

And it was right then
                                FYou started to see these, like, flames
               CA fire started in the school
            F       C     DmThat took a hundred lives away


[Bridge]
Bm                     F   And oh whoa when he struck the match
                CTo make the big payback he said
G"Shananananananana"
             FHe thought, "We're all so wrong"
       CAnd he cried alone and he went
G"Shananananananana"
        FAnd the girl and the kids
             CAnd all that his parents did, he said
G"Shananananananana"
                 FOoh he thought, "We're all so wrong"
                   CAnd with this he'd finally have won and baby now
G"Shananananananana" Oh no no
       F                   CBut it increased the pain, poor poor Shane
G"Shananananananana"
F                CPoor poor Shane, poor poor Shane
G"Shananananananana"
       F                   CBut it increased the pain, poor poor Shane
G"Shananananananana"
       F                 C      GAnd he ran and he and he ran
       F          CAnd he ran and he ran
       GAnd he ran
   F                     CHe increased their pain
G"Shananananananana"
F                               C  And the kids and all that his family did
        GJust to increase the pain
                FAnd then he ran away
