Verse 1:
  Em
i hope this doesn't freak you out
                           C
but i thought i'd just say 'hey'
  G
i know we've barely spoken out of school
                        D
but it seems i've grown attached

to the thought of you
                Em
and to tell the truth

Chorus 1:
                 C
i use humour to mask my insecurities
G                            D
so i try to be funny quite a bit
Em
and look at me now
          C                                      G
stumbling over a joke you've probably heard before
                                D
'cause all i'm paying attention to is the way you look at him
   Em
so across the room and clear my head
C                            G
wishing it was me instead who
                 D
always keeps you interested
Em                           C
i close my eyes and count to ten
          G                       D
i need to stop overthinking it

Verse 2:
Em             C
i might not be everything you ask for
  G          D
i know that
    Em                              C
and you might take a look at me and say
G                                                  D
'is this the kind of guy who chases after me these days?'

Chorus 2:
Em                     C
guys who use humour to mask their insecurities
G                              D
well i try to be funny quite a lot
Em
and look at me now
          C                                       G
stumbling over myself at a party i wasn't invited to
D
drink in my hand trying to find a spot to sleep
          Em
and i see you

you with him
           C
i start to drift off
                           G
nothing left but me and my thoughts
                   D
does she even know that i exist?
Em                           C
i close my eyes and count to ten
          G                  D
i need to stop over thinking this

Verse 3:
        Em                        C
i would ask you to take me as i am
                        G
but it won't do any good
        D
because what you see isn't who i am

i would show you if i could
Em
i change the way i speak

and how i act
           C
and what i say
           G                                    D
'cause i'm afraid you won't like me any other way

Chorus 3:
Em              C
i use humour to mask my insecurities
   G                             D
so i try yo be funny all the time
Em
and look at me now
          C                                       G
stumbling over the words of a song i wrote for you
                                D
a song you'll probably never hear

because i'm too ashamed
Em
too afraid
             C                             G                        D
what kind of person writes a song about a girl he's barely spoken to
Em                           C
i close my eyes and count to ten
                   G
i need to stop overthinking you
