Where Dreams Go To Die

 G                                                         D 
        Your breath hangs in the air.
                                                                       Em 
It's freezing, but the bus ain't there.
                                           C 
You're wishing for someone to stop this.
 G                                       D 
          Back in class again,
                                                         Em 
You feel just like an empty pen,
                                           C 
Loss for words and void of purpose.
               G                                           D                       C 
They cornered you, there's nowhere to get out.
How? How?
                 Em                           C 
They'll try to convince you
           G                                         D 
and tell you that they're right.
                     Em                     C 
They'll break you and beat you
               G                         D 
and steal away your life
           Em                                         C                                 G                         D 
And tell you that you're nothing and they'll never get it right,
           Em                                                         D 
But high school's the place where dreams go to die.

 G                                                 D 
      Teacher thinks you're rude
                                                     Em 
Says, "I dont like your attitude".
                                                   C 
Well maybe you're just condescending
 G                                                             D 
          But bring us up to follow rules
                                                         Em 
And throw us all in cubic rooms
                                           C 
But we're not gonna sit by idle.
                 G                                 D                           C 
We're getting out, we're gonna find our way
Hey, hey.
               G                                                     D 
Well, we'll be more than they'll ever be
   Em                                         C 
Just bitter from their own failed dreams.
                     G     D                                               Em               C 
They're desperate, and do anything to bring you down.
                 G                                             D 
Well, we'll do more than they ever did
 Em                                   C 
Talk down to some poor old kid.
       G                   D                               C 
We are the ones, the ones who made it.
                 Em                           C 
They'll try to convince you
           G                                         D 
and tell you that they're right.
                     Em                     C 
They'll break you and beat you
               G                         D 
and steal away your life
           Em                                         C                                 G                         D 
And tell you that you're nothing and they'll never get it right,
           Em                                                           D 
But high school's the place where dreams,
           Em                                                             D 
But high school's the place where dreams,
           Em                                                             D                 G     D     C 
But high school's the place where dreams go to die.
