Listen to the song for the rhythm.

A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 F5 C5 F5 C5 G5

A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 F5 C5 F5 C5 G5

Standing at the punch table swallowing punch
can?t pay attention to the sound of anyone
a little more stupid, a little more scared
every minute more unprepared

A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 F5 C5 F5 C5 G5

I made a mistake in my life today
everything I love gets lost in drawers
I want to start over, I want to be winning
way out of sync from the beginning

C5
I wanna hurry home to you
F5            A5
put on a slow, dumb show for you
            G5
and crack you up
         C5                       F5
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
               A5
god I?m very, very frightening
G5
I?ll overdo it

A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 F5 C5 G5

A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 F5 C5 F5 C5 G5

Looking for somewhere to stand and stay
I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
Can I get a minute of not being nervous
and not thinking of my dick

A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 F5 C5 F5 C5 G5

My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins
I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in
You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
from one side of it to the other

C5
I wanna hurry home to you
F5            A5
put on a slow, dumb show for you
            G5
and crack you up
         C5                       F5
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
               A5
god I?m very, very frightening
G5
I?ll overdo it

E5 G5 D5 C5 ( C5 )*

E5                G5
You know I dreamed about you
D5                 C5
for twenty-nine years before I saw you
E5                G5
You know I dreamed about you
D5
I missed you for
C5
for twenty-nine years

E5                G5
You know I dreamed about you
D5                 C5
for twenty-nine years before I saw you
E5                G5
You know I dreamed about you
D5
I missed you for
C5
for twenty-nine years

E5 G5 D5 C5

*(Right after the C in the last part, I like to play C7M (032000). I don't think they 
it that way, but it can sound nice. End the song on a C though.)
