NOTES:  throughout the song, the chords are often played as three-note arpeggios, picking the root, fifth, and octave notes of the chord.  however, this varies from part to part, so use your own judgment when playing.  As for the solo, listen to the song to get the timing right.

C                     Em
Don't bother going to class
     F                   C
'Cuz nobody cares if you cut
    F                   C
And it's not smart to experiment
     F               G
With Ben Gay on your nuts
C                                Em
If you ask her out and she says "maybe"
         F                   C
What she really means is "no way"
           F                 C
And if you try jerking off behind the backstop
    F                         G
The team will be playing that day

OH GOD!

F             C       Em
These are the things
         Am G
I wish I knew
F                      G
These are the things I wish
          C
I knew in high school
Em    F                  G
Yeah, these are the things
(guitar tacit)   C
I wish I knew in high school

Don't call the head jock a fag
Even if it's true
And don't hold out for that one special girl
'Cuz she'll never have sex with you

CHORUS
These are the things
(guitar tacit)   Am (solo begins)
I wish I knew in High School

Solo Riff:
Am   G    F    C
A#   F    C    G
