[Verse]
    E                  Asus2          Bsus  E Asus2 Bsus
The tape starts as I'm backing out of my garage
        E                        Asus2        Bsus       E Asus2 Bsus
Hit the breaks, stop, no wait, I guess it was just a mirage
       C#m                    Bsus
It's a long ride heading down 202
          Asus2                        E
It took a long time trying to get through to you
       C#m   Bsus Asus2    
It's a long, long ride
         Asus2/C#         F#m11  E
But I'll make it every Friday night.


[Verse]
       E                  Asus2     Bsus      E Asus2 Bsus
In the basement there's a telephone built for two
  E                       Asus2          Bsus       E Asus2 Bsus
A chair and a string that stretches from me to you
          C#m          Bsus
There's a long pause before we speak
       Asus2                   E
It's a hard time trying to get through the week
       C#m   Bsus Asus2    
It's a long, long ride
         Asus2/C#         F#m11  E
But I'll make it every Friday night.


[Chorus]
             Amaj7
You're going back to school
     E
For another year
Amaj7
Back to school
         Bsus
But I'm staying here
Amaj7
Back to school
     E
For another year
    A               Asus2/C# F#m11  E  
But it's OK, you're only five days away


[Verse]
       E                            Asus2   Bsus    E Asus2 Bsus 
In the dorm there's a girl and she's typing out his name
        E                            Asus2   Bsus    E Asus2 Bsus
There's someone at the door but she's typing out his name
          C#m                    Bsus
There are cables in a circuit of underground streams
         Asus2                   E
So she's able, in a second, to shatter your dreams
       C#m   Bsus Asus2    
It's a long, long ride
         Asus2/C#         F#m11  E
But I'll miss it every Friday night.
 


[Chorus]
             Amaj7
You're going back to school
     E
For another year
Amaj7
Back to school
         Bsus
But I'm staying here
Amaj7
Back to school
     E
For another year
    A               Asus2/C# F#m11  E  
But it's OK, you're only five days away
