And I might snap, one day just like that

I decided to strike back and flatten every tire on the bike rack
Dm
(Whosssssh) My first day in junior high, this kid said,
Gm
"It's you and I, three o'clock sharp this afternoon you die"
Dm
I looked at my watch it was one twenty
Gm
"I already gave you my lunch money what more do you want from me?!?"
Dm
He said, "Don't try to run from me, you'll just make it worse..."
Gm
My palms were sweaty, and I started to shake at first

Something told me, "Try to fake a stomach ache it works"

[N] "Mr. Mathers, the fun and games are over.

And just for that stunt, you're gonna get some extra homework."

CHORUS
Dm            C
Brain damage, ever since the day I was born
Bm            A
Drugs is what they used to say I was on
G             F
They say I never knew which way I was goin
E             A
But everywhere I go they keep playin my song
