VERSE ONE:
C Cmaj7 Am
Betty, I won't make assumptions
G F
About why you switched your homeroom, but

I think it's 'cause of me
C Cmaj7 Am G
Betty, one time I was riding on my skateboard
F
When I passed your house
F G
It's like I couldn't breathe
PRE-CHORUS:
C Cmaj7 Am
You heard the rumors from Inez
G F
You can't believe a word she says
F G
Most times, but this time it was true
Am G C F
The worst thing that I ever did
Am G F G
Was what I did to you
CHORUS:
C Cmaj7
But if I just showed up at your party
Am G
Would you have me? Would you want me
F Am
Would you tell me to go fuck myself
G
Or lead me to the garden
C Cmaj7
In the garden, would you trust me
Am G F
If I told you it was just a summer thing
F Am G
I'm only seventeen, I don't know anything
C Cmaj7 Am G F G
But I know I miss you
VERSE TWO:
C Cmaj7 Am
Betty, I know where it all went wrong
G F
Your favorite song was playing
G
From the far side of the gym
C Cmaj7 Am
I was nowhere to be found
G F
I hate the crowds, you know that
F G
Plus, I saw you dance with him
PRE-CHORUS:

Was what I did to you

BRIDGE:
Am G
I was walking home on broken cobblestones
F
Just thinking of you when she pulled up like
G
A figment of my worst intentions
Am G
She said "James, get in, let's drive"
G F
Those days turned into nights
F
Slept next to her, but
G C
I dreamt of you all summer long

Betty, I'm here on your doorstep

And I planned it out for weeks now

I can dream about what happens when

You see my face again
PRE-CHORUS:

The only thing I wanna do

Yeah, I showed up at your party

Will you have me? Will you love me

In front of all your stupid friends
