Verse 1:
        Abmaj7Abmaj7
Been staring at you for days
            G7G7
But you never seem to look my way
  Cm7Cm7                      Eb MajorEb   Eb7Eb7
My "I love you's" in your alphabet soup seem to go to waste
         Abmaj7Abmaj7
Been keeping myself at bay
          G7G7
Now everything's going pear-shaped

Pre-Chorus:
     Cm7Cm7
I guess boys with beating hearts
    Eb MajorEb Eb7Eb7
Beat a boy buried in the backyard
Abmaj7Abmaj7
Every time I try to make contact
       G7G7
Feels like a supernatural attack
       Cm7Cm7
Misinterpret then you react
       Eb MajorEb
I guess it's back to the attic
Eb7Eb7
I'm so dramatic
Abmaj7Abmaj7
It's so sad
 G7G7             Cm7Cm7
But the last time that I let someone inside
   Eb MajorEb      Eb7Eb7
I was buried alive


Chorus:
Abmaj7Abmaj7
Hi
     G7G7                Cm7Cm7
I'm your friendly neighborhood poltergeist
 Eb MajorEb    Eb7Eb7
Nobody ever looks at me twice
Abmaj7Abmaj7
I'm used to being see-through
   G7G7                   Cm7Cm7
But it feels so bad when it happens with you
            Eb MajorEb    Eb7Eb7
Wish you see me the way I see you

Verse 2:
          Abmaj7Abmaj7
I been spelling my name in your lego bricks
          G7G7
I don't know how to be more obvious
     Cm7Cm7
You're close enough to almost touch
     Eb MajorEb       Eb7Eb7
But not close enough to hold
       Abmaj7Abmaj7
Been tryna make my move
          G7G7
But that dude keeps stealing you


Pre-Chorus:
     Cm7Cm7
I guess boys with beating hearts
    Eb MajorEb  Eb7Eb7
Beat a boy buried in the backyard
Abmaj7Abmaj7
Every time I try to make contact
       G7G7
Feels like a supernatural attack
        Cm7Cm7
Misinterpret then you react
       Eb MajorEb
I guess it's back to the attic
Eb7Eb7
I'm so dramatic
Abmaj7Abmaj7
It's so sad
    G7G7           Cm7Cm7
But the last time that I let someone inside
   Eb MajorEb     Eb7Eb7
I was buried alive

Hi
     G7G7                Cm7Cm7

  Eb MajorEb    Eb7Eb7
Nobody ever looks at me twice
Abmaj7Abmaj7
I'm used to being see-through
     G7G7
But it feels so bad when it happens with you
Cm7Cm7            Eb MajorEb   Eb7Eb7
Wish you see me the way I see you

Outro:
Abmaj7Abmaj7        G7G7
I don't know why I tried
        Cm7Cm7
When this was only ever gonna end
     Eb MajorEb Eb7Eb7
With my demise
       Abmaj7Abmaj7     G7G7
I don't wanna die twice
  Cm7Cm7         Eb MajorEb    Eb7Eb7
It wasn't very fun the first time

I don't know why I try
 Cm7Cm7               Eb MajorEb  Eb7Eb7
This rejection got me feeling cold as ice
       Abmaj7Abmaj7   G7G7
I don't wanna die twice

It wasn't very fun the first time
       Abmaj7Abmaj7   G7G7  Cm7Cm7  Eb MajorEb Eb7Eb7
I don't know why I try
       Abmaj7Abmaj7   G7G7
I don't wanna die twice
   Cm7Cm7         Eb MajorEb
It wasn't very fun the first time
