Standard (EADGBE)

If you stand here behind me

And you call me a man

And youre counting on me to come through

You should know that Ill give you the best that I can

But we all have a little more homework to do

If youre walking beside me

And you wanna be friends

You should know Im depending on you

So you gotta hang in there till the whole story ends

Cause we all have a little more homework to do

Cause Ive been looking in the back of the book for the answers

Hoping the bell wouldn’t chime

But Im not ready to put down my pencil just yet

There are too many answers that I didnt get

I need a little less pressure and a little more time

Im trying to follow

Im trying to lead

Im trying to find what is true

But if youre going to stand with me

Then you have to concede

That we all have a little more homework to do

Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today

You get a little bit older

A little bit taller

A little bit better

A little bit

Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today

And the days before all go too fast

You cant hold on

So, you go

Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today

Im a little bit older

A little bit stronger

A little bit smarter

A little bit

Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today

And the days ahead coming on so quick

You cant keep running

Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today

And Im a little bit older

A little bit faster

A little bit closer

A little bit

Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today

And the sky goes blue

And the sky goes black

And no matter what you do

You cant go back

You go day into day into day

Day into day into day

Day into day into day

And Im a little bit braver

A little bit broader

A little bit brighter

A little bit

Day into day into day

Day into day into day

And Ive been looking in the back of the book for the answers

Hoping the bell wouldn’t chime

And Im not ready to put down my pencil just yet

There are too many answers that I didnt get

I need a little less pressure

And a little more time

Im trying to follow

Im trying to lead

Im trying to learn what is true

Im trying to be what you want and I need

But we all have a little more homework

We all have a little more homework

We all have a little more homework to do

Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today

(A little more homework to do)

Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today

(A little more homework to do)
