[Verse 1]

E                       Am                               E
 Monday morning wake up knowing that you've got to go to school
                      Am                                     E
Tell your mum what to expect, she says it's right out of the blue
                       Am                                   E
Do you went to work in Debenham's, because that's what they expect
                       Am            F         C    G    F
Start in Lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor

E                          Am                               E
And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start
                        Am                             E
For careers you say you went to be remembered for your art
                        Am                                    E
Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange
                        Am            F              C
Making life-size models of the Velvet Underground in clay

E                           Am                           E
In the queue for lunch they take the piss, you've got no appetite
                      Am                             E
And the rumour is you never go with boys and you are tight
                       Am                             E
So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk
                           Am                 F               C
While you're cleaning up the mess the teacher's looking up your skirt


[Chorus]

G               F
Hey you've been used,
C       G            F
Are you calm? Settle down
C       G               F
Write a song, I'll sing along
                        E
Soon you will know that you are sane
          F
You're on top of the world again


[Verse 2]

E                      Am                               E
Monday morning wake up knowing that you've got to go to school
                        Am                                  E
Tell your Mum what to expect she says it's right out of the blue
                       Am                             E
Do you went to work in C&A, 'cause that's what they expect
                     Am              F                C  G  F
Move to lingerie and take a feel off Joe the store man

E                 Am                           E
Tell Veronica the secrets of the boy you never kissed
                        Am                                  E
She's got everything to gain 'cause she's a fat girl with a lisp
                           Am                           E
She sticks up for you when you get aggravation from the snobs
                          Am                  F              C
'Cause you can't afford a blazer, girl you're always wearing clogs

E                   Am                          E
At the interval you lock yourself away inside a room
                          Am                                           E
Head of English gets you, asks you, "what the hell do you think you're doing?"
                     Am                                      E
"Do you think you're better then the other kids? well get outside."
                                  Am              F                  C
You've got permission, but you've got to make the bastard think he's right


[Chorus]

G                F
Hey, You've been used
C       G            F
Are you calm? Settle down
C       G               F
Write a song, I'll sing along
                        E
Soon you will know that you are sane
          F
You're on top of the world again
C          G            F
And you're cool and you know.
C        G               F
You're a star, you'll go far
C        G       F
Think of me as a friend
                     E
Not just the boy who played guitar
          F
You're on top of the world again.
