             A                   D\C            A
There's something I'd like to confess
          F#m7       A\D          D\C 
At the risk of exposing my faults
            Bm            A           F#m         A\D
But I'm starting to find that most of the time
   D\C                F#m         E     
I just don't like people at all


             A                   D\C            A
When I saw you five minutes ago
          F#m                   A\D          D\C 
I was afraid you might talk off my ear
    Bm         A               F#m          A\D
I panicked inside and decided to hide
        D\C             E              A Asus4  A   Abm      
And that's how I ended up here


F#m                           F#m\F
Crouching behind the live lobster tank
 Asus2\D                                  Asus2\C# 
Hoping you'd just pass me by, oh...
 D\C             E                F#m   A\D
That's how I ended up here
 D\C             E             A A\C# DIV F#mIX EVII  Bm  
That's how I ended up here


A             D\C              A
Oh how I wish I could say
          F#m7       A\D          D\C 
It's my first time to hide in this spot
            Bm            A           F#m         A\D
But with all of the people I try to avoid
   D\C                F#m         E     
I find myself down here a lot


{stop time} * A                    D\C            A     
I mean, just look at these guys in the tank
              F#m          A\D                        D\C  * {end stop time}
With the red rubber bands 'round their arms
           Bm             A               F#m               A\D
If they don't open up and just keep to themselves
         D\C         E          A Asus4  A   Abm      
They won't do anyone harm


       F#m                                F#m\F
So I screen my calls,   don't answer the door
         A\D                                 Asus2\C# 
Sometimes wish I could disappear,
        D\C               E                F#m   A\D
oh...that's how I ended up here
         D\C             E               
That's how I ended up ..

{strummed}
 A                          Bm         
Building a wall so no one could bother me
A\C#                  D
Living my life in isolation
 A                           Bm
Opening up to only those close to me
A\C#                            D    
Nobody's close to me, what have I done?

             A     D\C            A
See, I really want to be known
           F#m7            A\D               D\C 
But I'm not quite as strong as the fear
                Bm             A             F#m        A\D
That you won't understand the fool that I am
       D\C              E             F#m      A\D     
And that's how I ended up here
       D\C              E             F#m      A\D     
That's how I ended up here
       D\C        E      A  A\C#  DIV   F#mIX  EVII  Bm   
That's how I ended up here
