After a week of longing, I'm back in school,

Academic inspiration, you gave me none,
A          E                B                F#
You were Michael the lover, the fighter that won,

But now just look at me as I'm a-looking down on you,

Oh, the crowd they all hailed you, and chanted your name,
               B                          F#m
But they never knew, like we knew, me and you were the same,
    B                         F#m
And now you're all over, your sound is so tame,
       B                                F#m
Brrrrrri, you fed me and plainly I'll remember your name,
