Tom: G#m
B B7
Some people live the life that was given
E Em
Some people just get by
B B7
Some people never learned how to be driven
E D#7
Some people don’t even try
E D#7
But some people know what their heart desires
G#m B7
Some people lead with a passionate fire
E D#7
And some people know that they’rе destined
B7
To fly
[Chorus]
B
I’ll go all out
Ace еvery test
B7
No doubt
Outdo all the rest
E
Don’t pout
Em
Or settle for second best
B
So I won’t stop
And won’t lose my cool
B7
Don’t flop
‘Cause Harvard’s no fool
E
And who’ll love me
Em
If I’m not the top of my school?
[Ensemble]
B
She’s the top (She’s the top)
B7
She’s the top (She’s the top)
E
She’s the top (She’s the)
Em
Top of our
Em
Top of our school
[Verse 2]
B B7
Maybe my friends will say I’m overzealous
E Em
Maybe I try too hard (Maybe she tries too hard)
B B7
Maybe they’ll just have to learn to be jealous
E Em
Watching me shine like a star
E D#7
‘Cause maybe I know what my heart desires
G#m B7
Maybe I’ll lead with a passionate fire
E D#7
‘Cause baby I know that I’m destined
G#m B
To fly
[Bridge]
B
But if I hadn’t earned a dollar
Baug
What would you think of your dear daughter?
G#m7
Would it be pity or dishonor
Em
To ensue?
B
And if I failed to earn blue ribbon
Baug
How could I ever be forgiven?
G#m7
Tell me what love would still be given
Em
From you
[Chorus]
B
I’ll go all out
Ace every test
B7
No doubt
Outdo all the rest
E
Don’t pout
Em
Or settle for second best
B
So I won’t stop
And won’t lose my cool
B7
Don’t flop
‘Cause Harvard’s no fool
E
And who’ll love me
Em
If I’m not the top of my school?
