Me And Mr Popularity Ukulele chords by Joey Contreras

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
