A                    D
Hey, back when I was going to school
D                 A
I never learned a thing
A             E
All I did was daydream
E                           A
And waiting for the bell to ring
A               D
I had a certain teacher
D                   A
I always tried to impress her
A                        E
When she stood up in the classroom
E                  A
I would mentally undress her

A                D
Then one day I decided
D                           A
That I would write a little letter
A                           E
She said the spelling was a masterpiece
E                        A
The punctuation could be better
A                         D
I understood what she was saying
D                     A
I got the gist of her sentiment
A                           E
She said I don't mean to be degrading
E                          A
But here's the way that it shoulda went


chorus
A          D
I love you period
D              A
Do you love me question mark
A                  E
Please please exclamation point
E                   A
I wanna hold you in parentheses
A          D
I love you period
D              A
Do you love me question mark
A                  E
Please please exclamation point
E                   A
I wanna hold you in parentheses

Oh! (Come on , come on)

A              D
Right on up to high school
D                   A
People said I was a writing fool
A                     E
All my letters became really great
E                         A
With punctuation that was never late
A                        D
But I was having trouble meeting girls
D                 A
I never knew what things to say
A                   E
Soon I had them all overwhelmed
E                  A
When they heard me talk this way 


chorus
A          D
I love you period
D              A
Do you love me question mark
A                  E
Please please exclamation point
E                   A
I wanna hold you in parentheses
A          D
I love you period
D              A
Do you love me question mark
A                  E
Please please exclamation point
E                   A
I wanna hold you in parentheses
