B
Home show mom wont know
 E                F#
Run out the back door
      E                 F#
He's passed out on the floor
  B                      C#m  D#m
Third time, been caught twice
    E                 F#
Forgive our neighbor Bob
    E                 F#
I think he humped the dog

G#m              F#
But good things come
              E
to those who wait
          F#
Cause she laid me
G#m          F#
And mom and dad
             E
possess the key
         F#
Instant slavery
G#m        F#
No need explain the plan
    E            F#
No need to even bother
G#m           F#
I'll pack my bags
              E
I swear I'll run
         F#
Wish my friends
were twenty-one

White lies, bloodshot eyes
Breath of alcohol, stole it from the mall
How's Chris marked with lipstick?
Better call their fathers, sleeping
with your daughters

But good things come to those who wait,
'cause she laid me
And Mom and Dad possess the key, instant slavery
No need explain the plan, no need to even bother
I'll pack my bags, I swear I'll run,
wish my friends were twenty-one


Chorus:
B           E
You dont belong you
          B            F#
left the kids to carry on
                   B
You planned their fall
                E
Too bad youre wrong dont need
   B                   F#
a mom dad slave drive song

        B           E
I time bomb I time bomb
        G#m         F#
I time bomb I time bomb
        B  E F# E B E F# E
I time bomb

B
Turn low the radio
    E             F#
I think I hear my dad
E              F#
Yelling at the band

But good things come to
those who wait, 'cause she laid me
And Mom and Dad possess the key, instant slavery
No need explain the plan, no need to even bother
I'll pack my bags, I swear
I'll run, wish my friends were twenty-one

Chorus

I time bomb, I time bomb,
I time bomb, I time bomb
I time bomb, I time bomb,
I time bomb, I time bomb,
I time bomb
