He was a skat (C5)er boy.
She said, see you lat (Bb5)er boy.
He was n’t good e nough for (F5)her.
She had a pret (C5)ty face but her head was up (Bb5)in space.

Five years from now

She turns on T V.
Guess who she sees.
Skat er boy rock in’ up M T V.
She calls up her friends, they al read y know and they’ve all got tick ets to see his show.

Looks up at the man that (C5)she turned down.
He was a skat (C5)er boy.
She said, see you lat (Bb5)er boy.
He was n’t good e nough for (F5)her.
Now he’s a su (C5)per star, slam ming on his (Bb5)gui tar.
