Ov[G]er ten[D/F#] weeks a[Em7]go,
[Am]I can still re[C]member when I didn’[Em]t want to take this [D]class
And [G]I knew [D/F#]if I ha[Em7]d my chance,

But [Em]that grou[Am]pwork it made me[Em] happy, even when i[Am]t came out crappy
[C]Bad news [G]on the [Am]blackboard, The[C] workload seemed to st[D]ack more
I [G]don’t know [D/F#]when it c[Em]licked for me T[Am7]hat this class [D]and I were meant to be
