[Verse 1]
AAsus4AAsus4
I climb up, spending daylight
F#BAAsus4AAsus4
Slide down, bankrupt on the other side
AAsus4AAsus4
Some sweet girl, playing my wife
F#BAAsus4AAsus4
Runs off with a boy whose bike she'll ride
[Chorus]
FBbFBb
Playground, it's a playground
FBbGC
Marked by the masters and bruised by the bullies
FBbFBb
In the playground, every day ground
FBbFBbAAsus4
Never stop rehearsing, rehearsing for the big square world
[Verse 2]
AAsus4AAsus4
Bells will ring, door flies open
F#BAAsus4AAsus4
Hare and Greyhound in the old kiss chase
AAsus4AAsus4
You've been caught, game is ended
F#BAAsus4AAsus4
Smack on kisser from her slap on face
[Chorus]
FBbFBb
Playground, it's a playground
FBbGC
Marked by the masters and bruised by the bullies
FBbFBb
In the playground, every day ground
FBbFBbAAsus4
Never stop rehearsing, rehearsing for the big square world
[Bridge]
D#mG#C#m7
Watch the leaves all tear away, one by one
F#D#m
Leaving you but lined like an exercise book
G#C#m7
What did your report once say? Know the one
F#7sus4F#7F#m7F#7
This boy must try harder to please
E7sus4E7Em7E7
From down on his knees
[Verse 3]
AAsus4AAsus4
Playground, playground, careful what you say ground
AAsus4AAsus4
Playground, playground, gonna make you pay ground
AAsus4AAsus4
Brain gets bent, heart gets broken
F#BAAsus4AAsus4
You can't jump off once the pages turn
AAsus4AAsus4
School is out but never over
F#BAAsus4AAsus4
That's the only lesson you can learn
[Chorus]
FBbFBb
Playground, it's a playground
FBbGC
Marked by the masters and bruised by the bullies
FBbFBb
In the playground, every day ground
FBbFBb
Never stop rehearsing, rehearsing for the big square world
FBbFBb
Playground, it's a playground
FBbGC
You're for the high jump, if you let 'em push you
FBbFBb
In the playground, every day ground
FBbFBbEEsus4
There's no escaping, escaping from their big square world
EEsus4EEsus4
You may leave school but it never leaves you
