Listen to the song for the rhythm.

Am Am7 Am Am7 Am F C F C G

Am Am7 Am Am7 Am F C F C G

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

Am Am7 Am Am7 Am F C F C G

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

C
I wanna hurry home to you
F            Am
put on a slow, dumb show for you
            G
and crack you up
         C                       F
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
               Am
god I?m very, very frightening
G
I?ll overdo it

Am Am7 Am Am7 Am F C G

Am Am7 Am Am7 Am F C F C G

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

Am Am7 Am Am7 Am F C F C G

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

C
I wanna hurry home to you
F            Am
put on a slow, dumb show for you
            G
and crack you up
         C                       F
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
               Am
god I?m very, very frightening
G
I?ll overdo it

Em G D C ( C7M )*

Em                G
You know I dreamed about you
D                 C
for twenty-nine years before I saw you
Em                G
You know I dreamed about you
D
I missed you for
C
for twenty-nine years

Em                G
You know I dreamed about you
D                 C
for twenty-nine years before I saw you
Em                G
You know I dreamed about you
D
I missed you for
C
for twenty-nine years

Em G D C

*(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.)
