Verse 1:
Bb                           F 
   Have I done my best here, or 
                          Dm 
Will I be here next year, or

If you put this scene on a movie screen

Is it called a happy end?

If the world gets me 
             C 
Where I'm supposed to be 
        F         Am       Dm 
Will I know I've made it then? 
 
It's so hard 
 
Can we skip to the good part?

Bb                    F 
   I napped on campus and

I smoked that damn six bud 
                    C 
It didn't feel so great
