Verse 1:
G                   D
i am hanging in the bathroom
       C             D      Em
at the biggest party of the fall
        G                  D
i could stay right here or disappear
    C             D          G
and nobody'd even notice at all

G                  D
i'm a creeper in a bathroom
         C           D       Em
cause my buddy kinda left me alone
        G                          D
but i'd rather fake pee than stand awkwardly
   C                  D          G
or pretend to check a text on my phone

Pre-Chorus 1:
Bm
Everything felt fine
                     D
when i was half of a pair
                Bm
and through no fault of mine
                      C          D
there's no other half there

Chorus 1:
              G             D
Now I'm just Michael in the bathroom
C              D             G
Michael in the bathroom at a party
            C       D
Forget how long its been
         G              D
I'm just Michael in the bathroom
C              D             Em
Michael in the bathroom at a party
        C          D
No, you can't come in
    C                        D
I'm waiting it out 'til it's time to leave
    Em                      A
and picking at grout while I softly grieve
         G               D
I'm just Michael who you don't know
Em            A
Michael flying Solo
C              D             G
Michael in the bathroom by himself
G    D    C    D    G    D    C    D
All by himself

Verse 2:
G                     D
I am hiding, but he's out there
        C             D     Em
Just ignoring all our history
         G                    D
Memories get erased and I'll get replaced
        C             D         G
With a newer, cooler version of me

Pre-Chorus 2:
Bm
And I hear a drunk girl
                                      D
Singing along to Whitney through the door -I wanna dance with somebody!-
       Bm
And my feelings sink cuz it makes me think
            C                                 D
Now there's no one to make fun of drunk girls with anymore

Chorus 2:
             G             D
Now its just Michael in the bathroom
C              D             G
Michael in the bathroom at a party
          C       D
I half regret the beers
         G              D
I'm just Michael in the bathroom
C              D             Em
Michael in the bathroom at a party
            C       D
As I choke back the tears
             C                     D
I'll wait as long as I need til my face is dry
             Em                           A
Or I'll just blame it on weed or something in my eye
         G               D
I'm just Michael who you don't know
Em            A
Michael flying Solo
C              D             G
Michael in the bathroom by himself
G    D    C    D    G    D    C    D

Bridge:

I feel the pressure blowing up
Bb     Bb     Bb     Bb

My big mistake was showing up
B      B      B      B
Splash, splash, splash, splash
E           Gb          Em
I throw some water in my face
                     A
And I am in a better place
                    C
I go to open up the door
                      D
But I can't hear knocking
    G
Anymore
G    D    C    D    G    D    C    D

Pre-Chorus 3:
            Bm
And I can't help but yearn
                D
For a different time
            Bm
And then I look in the mirror and the present is clear
            C          D
And there's no denying I'm just

Chorus 2:
             G             D
......
C              D             G
........................At a party
           C       D
Is there a sadder sight
             G             D
{humming}
C              D             Em
Michael in the bathroom at a party
          C       D
This is a heinous night
         C                              D
I wish I stayed at home in bed watching cable xxxx
          Em                             A
Or wish I offed myself instead wish I was never born
         G               D
I'm just Michael who's a loner
   Em          A
So he must be a stoner
G               D
Rides a PT Cruiser
Em          A
God he's such a loser
G               D
Michael flying Solo
Em          A
Who you think that you know
C              D             G
Michael in the bathroom by himself
G    D    C    D    G    D    C    D
All by himself
G    D    C    D    G    D    C    D
All by himself
G             D       Em   A
All you know about me is my name
C             D             
Awesome party I'm so glad I came
