Verse :
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#        D
And when the stars come I'm all torn up inside . . .
A          E          F#              D
I'm always nervous on days like this, like the prom . . .
A         E                    F#            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,
