Me And Mr Popularity Ukulele by Joey Contreras

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Verse:
F
Dad got his ear pierced, he's forty-nine
F
Unemployment isn't treating him fine
  Bb
He tries on my clothes
  C        F
As if I'll make him cooler
Dm
Mom's still working on some lawyer case
   F
She's never here, I'm forgetting her face
F
I'm afraid of what dad might take up next
Gm            G      Bb
Peter booked his next big role bussing tables
F             C
He says it's a stretch for him
  Gm      G    Bb  C
But me, surprisingly, I'm doing great
C
Because today

Chorus:
F       Eb Bb   F
Me and Mr. Popularity will be
       Eb    Bb
Spending morе time you see
    F          Eb    Bb
'cause he needs a tutor for computеr science
C          Bb
Until the semesters end
    Am7          G    C    F
And for me this is the closest thing to having a friend

Verse:
F
Two weeks later and things are neat
F
Sometimes he waves at me on the street
  Bb                   C
But that's only when there's no one in sight
Dm7
I could take it personally
  C
But were not hanging, just tutoring
   F
It's fine, I understand my role

   Gm7       Bb
But today, he came to me
        F
It was kind of new
      C      Gm7        Bb
He asked if I wanted to smoke with him some night
      C
And I said "um, well, I've never smoked before but alright"

Chorus:
F     Eb  Bb     F
Me and Mr. Popularity will be
        Eb  Bb   F
Engaging in illegal activity
         Eb    Bb
Guess he tired of computer science
  C       Bb   Am7           Bb
So now I'm gonna spend a night getting to know a joint
  C     Dm7  Gm
And maybe a friend

Bridge:
Dm         Eb
Such a strange and new sensation
Dm7        Bb
Actually having a conversation
Dm         Eb
Feeling anxious and nervous
      F       Bb
But he's incredibly calm
                 C
He talks about football and girls
               Dm7
He lives in such a different world
           Dm  Bb
A life he seems to protect
                C
So I nod and I listen and learn
C
As it suddenly starts to turn
 G
To things you'd never expect
   Bb
See, he's somewhat of a mess
  Db             C
And that's something we can connect on

Verse:
G
Dad now listens to Lil' Wayne
                C
Mom is stressed and going insane
C
And normally I would care
Em
Peter's out auditioning
D        G
Out there living the american dream
G
At least that's what they say
  Am      C       G
But me, refreshingly, I'm doing great
   D     Am      C
I'm appreciating every time I spend
        D
'cause I never knew
D
I never knew

Chorus:
        G       F  C
Back then that me and Mr. Popularity
   G        F     C
Would be spending more time, you see
    G           F    C
'cause he needed a tutor for computer science
  D
But that was way back then
    A
Now we talk and laugh again and again
  C          Bb
And really, I'm thinking we
  D
Are possibly
    G
Becoming friends
