Verse : (muffled guitar) 
A       B           C#            D 
Push it out, fake a smile, advert disaster just in time, 
A        B                C#               D 
I need a drink, cause in awhile, worthless answers from friends of mine,  
A            B              C#          D 
It's dumb to ask, cool to ignore, girls possess me but their never mine,  
A         B                 C#                  D 
I made my entrance, avoided hazards, checked my engine, I fell behind,

She makes me feel like it's raining outside . . .  
A            E                  F#m       D 
And when the stars come I'm all torn up inside . . . 
A          E          F#m             D 
I'm always nervous on days like this, like the prom . . . 
A         E                    F#m           D 
I get too scared to move cause I'm a fucking boy . . . 

Intro : Repeat 

Verse : 
A        B           C#              D 
Remember when, I was in, the grocery store, now's my time, 
A        B               C#              D 
Lost the words, lost the nerve, lost the girl, left the line, 
A       B            C#             D 
I would wish, upon a star, but that star, it doesn't shine, 
A          B                     C#              D 
So read my book, with the boring ending, a short story of a lonely guy,
