Verse 1:
B       B             Abm
 Betty, I won’t make assumptions
      Gbsus4                E
About why you changed your homeroom
                          Gbsus4
But I think it’s cause of me
B       B              Abm
 Betty, one time I was riding
      Gbsus4             E
on my skateboard when I passed your house

It’s like I couldn’t breathe
 
Pre-Chorus:
B             B            Abm
You heard the rumors from Inez
            Gbsus4            E
You can’t believe a word she says most times
                     Gbsus4
But this time it was true
    Abm          Gb       B   E
The worst thing that I ever did

was what I did to you
 
Chorus:
              B                 B  
But if I just showed up at your party
          Abm                 Gb
Would you have me? Would you want me?
          E             Abm
Would you tell me to go xxxx myself
   Gb
Or lead me to the garden?
       B                B  
In the garden would you trust me
     Abm              Gb             E
If I told you it was just a summer thing?
         Abm           Gb
I’m only seventeen, I don’t know anything
                  B
But I know I miss you

Your favorite song was playing

from the far side of the gym
B      B             Abm
 I was nowhere to be found

I hate the crowds you know that

 Plus I saw you dance with him

Bridge:
Abm                    Gb
I was walking home on broken cobblestones
              E
Just thinking of you when she pulled up
       Gb
Like a figment of my worst intentions
Abm                            Gb
She said, "James get in let’s drive." Those days
            E
turned into nights, slept next to her
   Gb                           B
But I dreamt of you all summer long

But it’s finally sinking in
B       B                Abm
 Betty, right now is the last time
      Gbsus4            E
I can dream about what happens when

You see my face again
