Verse 1:
A         Bm 
  Push it out
        C#m 
fake a smile
        D 
Avert disaster
        A 
just in time
         Bm 
I need a drink
           C#m 
Cause in a while
          D 
Worthless answers from
           A 
friends of mine
             Bm 
It's dumb to ask
          C#m 
cool to ignore
         D 
girls possess me but
              A 
they're never mine
          Bm 
I made my entrance
        C#m 
avoided hazards
           D 
Checked my engine

I fell behind

A/C#  D 
da da da da
A     E 
da da da da da
I fell behind
A/C#  D     A 
da da da da da
   E 
da da da da


Chorus 1:
A              E 
  She makes me feel like
     F#m        D 
it's raining outside
A               E 
  And when the storm's gone
        F#m       D 
I'm all torn up inside
A            E         F#m 
  I'm always nervous on days
          D 
like this like the prom
A            E 
  I get too scared to move
      F#m           D 
cause I'm a fucking boy


(Repeat Intro)


Verse 2:
A          Bm         C#m 
  Remember when I was in
             D 
The grocery store
         A 
now's my time
         Bm 
Lost the words
         C#m 
lost the nerve
         D 
Lost the girl
         A 
left the line
        Bm 
I would wish
        C#m 
upon a star
          D 
But that star
           A 
it doesn't shine
           Bm 
So read my book
              C#m 
with a boring ending
         D 
A short story
of a lonely guy


Refrain 2:
A/C#  D 
da da da da

Who fell behind
A/C#  D     A 
da da da da da

da da da da
