F         G
Afternoon in the homeroom
         Am
They're about to let you go
And the locker slam on the plan
You had tonight
You've been messin' around with a boyfriend
Maybe better left alone
There's a wise guy that you know could
Put you right
In the lot the boy that's idling by
Doesn't rev your heart
Cause it's only lonely spots
He shares with you
And long halls and the gray walls
Are gonna split apart
Believe it or not
There's life after high school
And that's why

Chorus:
And that's why
      F             G                  Am
The student body's got a bad reputation
(oh yeah, oh yeah)
F              G                 Am
What they need is adult education
F                     G                    Am
You go back to school, it's a bad situation
(oh yeah, oh yeah)
F             G          Am
What you want is an adult
Education

The teacher don't know about how to deal
With the student body (huh, huh)
And the underclassmen are flashing
Hot and cool (huh, huh)
But your girlfriends care
About watch and wear
And talkin about it (huh, huh)
Believe it or not
There's life after high school (huh, huh)
That's right

Chorus:
The student body got a bad reputation
(Oh, yeah, oh, yeah)
What they need is adult education
You go back to school, it's a bad situation
(Oh, yeah, oh, yeah)
What you want is an adult education
Oh, yeah

Am
They're calling it preparation (huh, huh)
You're waiting for a separation
Dm
You're nothing but another odd number (huh, huh)
                   C
Memories that you won't remember

So you got a little education (huh, huh)
And a lot of dedication
But you want a little night school (huh, huh)
Maybe some of it'll rub off on ya

The boys are busy in the mirrors (huh, huh)
Trying to imitate their heroes
You make it with a false surrender (huh, huh)
More memories you won't remember

The senior with the Junior Miss (huh, huh)
I wonder what the junior wishes
That she could graduate to adult (huh, huh)
                             C      Dm
That she could graduate to adult kisses

F    G         Am
Adult education
F    G         Am
Adult education
F    G         Am
Adult education  it's a bad situation
F    G         Am
Adult education

Adult, adult
Adult, adult education
Adult education
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Adult, adult
Adult, adult
Adult, adult
Adult, adult
Adult, adult, adult
Adult, adult, adult
Adult, adult, adult
Adult, adult, adult
