Well I used to have them just about all the time... But I found a way to get out of it... Let me tell you about it! First Verse:

^C#/D Sitting in the classroom ^C#/D thinking it's a drag. ^A/A# Listening to the teacher ^A/A# well just aint my bag. ^C#/D The noon bells ring ^C#/D you know that's my cue. ^A/A# I'm gonna meet the boys ^A/A# on floor number two

Chorus:

^GSmokin' in the Boys Room, Yes indeed, I was ^DSmokin' in the Boys Room ^ANow teacher don't you fill me ^Gup with your rules. ^AEverybody knows that G~ Smoking aint allowed in school.

Verse 2: (Chord patterns are same as Verse 1) Checking out the halls making sure the coast is clear. Looking in the stalls, no, there aint nobody here. My buddy Fang, and me and Paul, To get caught would surely be the death of us all.
