C#m7C#m7 B5B5 Asus2Asus2 E MajorE C#m7C#m7 E MajorE B5B5 x2
Verse:
C#m7C#m7 B5B5 Asus2Asus2 E MajorE
i was on my lunch break; i almost started crying
C#m7C#m7 E MajorE B5B5
for the boy at the top of the bridge
C#m7C#m7 B5B5 Asus2Asus2 E MajorE C#m7C#m7
he didn’t jump, but if he had, he wouldn’t be the only one
E MajorE B5B5
who thought that he had to give in
Chorus:
E MajorE Esus4Esus4 F#5F#5 A5A5
and you said you didn’t have it all that bad
E MajorE Esus4Esus4 F#5F#5 A5A5
and i said i didn’t have it all that bad
Verse:
C#m7C#m7 B5B5 Asus2Asus2 E/G#
but i snuck off to parking lots and playgrounds after dark
C#m7C#m7 E MajorE EsusEsus
my parents’ basement while they were asleep
C#m7C#m7 B5B5 Asus2Asus2 E/G# C#m7C#m7
i didn’t talk with a lisp; i dressed like all the straight boys did
E MajorE EsusEsus B5B5
i didn’t talk about who i had kissed
Bridge:
C#m7C#m7 B5B5 Asus2Asus2 E MajorE C#m7C#m7 E MajorE B5B5 x2
Chorus:
E MajorE Esus4Esus4 F#5F#5 A5A5
and now you don’t really have it all that bad
E MajorE Esus4Esus4 F#5F#5 A5A5
and now i don’t really have it all that bad
Verse:
C#m7C#m7 B5B5 Asus2Asus2 E/G#
but i don’t kiss you at the grocery store
C#m7C#m7 E MajorE EsusEsus
and i don’t kiss you at the library
C#m7C#m7 B5B5 Asus2Asus2 E/G#
i don’t kiss you at the rest stop off the interstate
C#m7C#m7 E MajorE EsusEsus B5B5
and i don’t kiss you at my parents’ house when they are not asleep
Bridge:
C#5C#5 G#sus4G#sus4 AM7 E MajorE F#7sus2 x2
Verse:
C#m7C#m7 B5B5 Asus2Asus2 E MajorE
i was on my lunch break; i almost started crying
C#m7C#m7 E MajorE B5B5
‘cause it really does get better if you wait
C#m7C#m7 B5B5 Asus2Asus2 E MajorE
and there are times now when i still feel afraid
C#m7C#m7 E MajorE B5B5
but gone are the times when i feel ashamed
Chorus:
E MajorE Esus4Esus4 F#5F#5 A5A5
and so for all the kids that really have it pretty bad
E MajorE Esus4Esus4 F#5F#5 A5A5
for all the kids that never had the chance
Verse:
C#m7C#m7 B5B5 Asus2Asus2 E/G#
maybe i should kiss you at the grocery store
C#m7C#m7 E MajorE EsusEsus
and maybe i should kiss you at the library
C#m7C#m7 B5B5 Asus2Asus2 E/G#
maybe i should kiss you at my parents’ house
C#m7C#m7 E MajorE EsusEsus B5B5
and maybe i should kiss you at the movies
C#m7C#m7 B5B5 Asus2Asus2 E/G#
maybe i should kiss you when we go out to dinner
C#m7C#m7 E MajorE EsusEsus
and maybe i should kiss you every night before i fall asleep
C#m7C#m7 B5B5 Asus2Asus2 E/G#
and maybe i should kiss you at the rest stop off the interstate
C#m7C#m7 E MajorE EsusEsus B5B5
on the border of georgia and tennessee
