[Verse 1]

F                G                 Am
Afternoon in the homeroom, they're about to let you go
           F                G                   Am
And the locker slams on the plans you had tonight
            F              G                          Am
You've been messing around with your boyfriend, maybe better left alone
          F                   G                        Am
There's a wise guy that you know who could put you right
            F              G                 Am
In the lot, the boy that's idling by doesn't rev your heart
            F           G                    Am
'Cause it's only lonely spots he shares with you
        F          G                            Am
And the long halls and the gray walls are gonna split apart
                  F            G            Am
Believe it or not there's life after high school

[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

                    F             G                      Am

Oh yeah

[Verse 2]

    F                  G                          Am
The teacher don't know about how to deal with the student body
        F                 G                Am
And the underclassmen are flashing hot and cool
         F                          G                  Am
All your girlfriends care about the watch you wear and talkin' about it
              F           G               Am
Believe it or not there's life after high school

[Chorus]

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, is a bad situation (oh yeah, oh yeah)
F             G          Am
What you want is an adult

Education

                    F             G                      Am

Oh yeah


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


Am
So you got a little education
Am
And a lot of dedication
Dm
But you want a little night school
Dm                    C
Maybe some of it will rub off on you

Am
The boys are busy in the mirrors
Am
Trying to imitate their heroes
Dm
You make it with a false surrender
Dm                C
More memories you won't remember


Am
The senior with the junior Miss
Am
I wonder what the junior wishes
Dm
That she could graduate to adult
Dm                         C         Dm
That she could graduate to adult kisses

F      G      Am

F      G      Am

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

[Solo]

F                     G       
The high point of low school is getting out of there
Am
The low point of high school is what you wear
