Intro:
G D
Just as I was about to take my shoes
A Bm
Off, on the rooftop there I see
G D
a girl with braided hair here before me
A Bbdim Bm
Despite myself I go and scream,
-nc-
"Hey. Don't do it please!"
Interlude:
G D A Bm
G D A Bbdim Bm
Verse:
G D A Bm
Whoa, wait a minute what did I just say?
G D A Bm
I couldn't care less either way!
G D A Bm
To be honest I was somewhat pissed...
G D A Bbdim Bm
This was an opportunity missed!
G D A Bm
The girl with braided hair told me her woes,
G D A Bm
You've probably heard it all before.
G D A Bm
"I really thought that he might be the one.
G D -nc-
But then he told me he was done."
Chorus:
G D
For God's sake please!
A Bm
Are you serious? I just can't believe
G D A Bbdim Bm
That for some stupid reason you got here before me!
G D A Bm
Are you upset 'cause you can't have what you wanted?
G D A Bbdim Bm
You're lucky that you've never gotten robbed of anything!
Refrain:
G
"I'm feeling better, thank you for listening."
A G
The girl with braided hair then disappeared.
Interlude:
G D A Bm
G D A Bbdim Bm
Verse:
G D
Alright, today's the day!
A Bm
Or so I thought...
G D A Bm
Just as I took both of my shoes off,
G D A Bm
There was but a girl short as can be,
G D A Bbdim Bm
Despite myself I go and scream.
G D A Bm
The petite girl told me her woes,
G D A Bm
You've probably heard it all before.
G D A Bm
"Everyone ignores me. Everyone steals.
G D -nc-
I don't fit in with anyone here."
Chorus:
G D
For God's sake please!
A Bm
Are you serious? I just can't believe
G D A Bbdim Bm
That for some stupid reason you got here before me!
G D A Bm
'Cause even so, you're still loved by everyone at home!
G D A Bbdim Bm
There's always dinner waiting on the table, you know!
Refrain:
G
"I'm hungry."
Said the girl as she shed a tear,
A G
The girl short as can be then disappeared.
Bridge:
D A Bm
And like that, there was someone everyday.
G D
I listened to their tale,
A Bm
I made them turn away.
G A
And yet there was no one who
D Bm
Would do this for me, no way I could
Em A
Let out all this pain.
Interlude -x2-:
G D A Bm
G D A Bbdim Bm
Verse:
G D A Bm
For the very first time there I see,
G D A Bm
Someone with the same pains as me!
G D A Bm
Having done this time and time again.
G D A Bbdim Bm
She wore a yellow cardigan.
G D A Bm
"I just wanna stop the scars that grow,
G D A Bm
Every time that I go home...
G D A Bm
That's why I came up here instead."
G D A Bbdim Bm
That's what the girl in the cardigan said.
A E B Dbm
Whoa, wait a minute what did I just say?
A E B Dbm
I couldn't care less either way!
A E B Dbm
But in the moment I just screamed,
A E B Dbm
Something that I did not believe.
-nc-
"Hey. Don't do it please..."
Chorus:
A E
Ahh! What to do?!
B Dbm
I can't stop this girl oh this is new!
A E B dim Dbm
For once I think I've bitten off more than I can chew...
A E B Dbm
But even so, please just go away so I can't see,
A E B dim Dbm
Your pitiful expression is just too much for me!
Refrain:
A
"I guess today is just not my day."
B
She looked away from me and then she disappeared.
Verse:
A E B Dbm
There's no one here today, I guess it's time.
A E B Dbm
It's just me, myself, and I.
A E B Dbm
There's no one who can interfere.
A E B Dbm
No one to get in my way here.
A E B Dbm
Taking off my yellow cardigan.
A E B Dbm
Watching my braids all come undone.
A E B Dbm
This petite girl, short as can be.
A E B E
Is gonna jump now and be free.
