[CHORUS]
F |Dm |F |Db |
How would you feel if I turned on the bath
Bb |C |Db | |
Ducked your head under and started to laugh?
F |Dm |F |Db
What would you do if I shut you outside
|Bb |C |Db |Dm |C |Db
To stand in the rain and catch cold so you die--ie--ied?
|F (E) Eb (D) |Db |F (E) Eb (D) |Db
I'm the schoo--oo--ool bully. The cla--ass roo-oom cheat.
|F (E) Eb(D)|Db |F (E) Eb (D) |Db
The na-aa-astiest playfriend you ev----er could meet.
|F (E) Eb(D) |Db |F (E) Eb (D) |Db
I'll stick pi--ins in your fingers and tre--ead on your feet.
[repeat INTRO]

[second VERSE]
Ab7sus4 Db
We're on our own, cousin
Ab7 Db
All alone, cousin
G7sus4 C
Let's think of a game to play
G7 C
Now the grown-ups have all gone away
F#7sus4 B
You won't be much fun being blind, deaf and dumb
F#7 B
But I've no one to play with today.
F7sus4 Bb
Do you know how to play hide-and-seek?
F7 Bb
To find me it would take you a week
E7sus4 A
But tied to that chair you won't go anywhere
E7 A
There's a lot I can do with a freak
[repeat CHORUS]
Maybe a cigarette burn on your arm
Would change your expression to one of alarm.
I'll drag you around by a lock of your hair
Or give you a push at the top of the sta-aa-airs.
I'm the scho--oo--ool bully. The cla--asro-oom cheat.
The na--asti--iest playfriend you ev----er could meet.
I'll put gla--ass in your dinner and spi--ikes in your seat.
[repeat INTRO]
