     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             Bm
Despite myself I go and scream,

-nc-
"Hey. Don't do it please!"

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      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        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           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.

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      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         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         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   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 C    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 C    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        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         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.
