The riff is first played on acoustic guitar, then on a keyboard or
synthesizer I guess.
(With synthesizer riff, x2; both acoustic and electric)
D5D5 A5A5 G5G5 D5D5 A5A5
In the verses, there is only an electric guitar, palm-muted except
for the Ds at the end of each line.
D MajorD A5A5 G5G5 D5D5 A5A5 D5D5
Got your invitation, bless your heart you're good to call
A5A5 G5G5
Another night on the town with everyone around
D5D5 A5A5 D5D5
Doesn't seem that fun at all
A5A5 G5G5 D5D5 A5A5 D5D5
Since we're very important people, we can skip the line
A5A5 G5G5
I can do you one better, we'll skip it altogether
D5D5 A5A5 D5D5
And the pleasure will be mine
The chorus is the same as the beginning of the song, not palm-muted and
without the Ds at the end, and with the riff:
A5A5 G5G5
But I'll try to make it
D5D5 A5A5
I hope I can make it
D5D5 A5A5 G5G5
I'll try to make it now
D5D5 A5A5
I hope I can make it
You said you would meet me if I'm halfway interested
I'd be upset if you waited frankly stunned if I made it
I insist you go ahead
I mean to be gracious but I feel put on the spot
If I'm not acting excited that I was invited
It's because I'm kind of not
Chorus
Bridge (also with riff)
F#5F#5 B5B5 G5G5 A5A5
Notice I'm under house arrest that's self-imposed
F#5F#5 B5B5 G5G5 A5A5
I started to wonder what we'd do behind doors when they're closed
Solo (x2, with main riff and chorus chords):

(Bass and acoustic guitar)
I sent an invitation, I left it stuck up on your door
Cause when I need you you're there, if you come over I swear
I won't be stuck up anymore
Bridge:
I've come to my senses, I was blind but now I see
Down go my defenses, I'm begging you to spend some time with me
Chorus
With acoustic riff, electric guitar plays D5D5
Acoustic chords and riff
End on D MajorD
