Tom: Am
Am Em Am Em
I am hanging in the bathroom at the biggest party of the fall
F Am C Am
I could stay right here or disappear, and nobody'd even notice at all
Am Em Am Em
I'm a creeper in a bathroom 'cause my buddy kinda left me alone
F Am C Am
But I'd rather fake pee than stand awkwardly, or pretend to check a text on my phone
F Em C
Everything felt fine when I was half of a pair
F Em C
Now through no fault of mine, there's no other half there
[Chorus]
F Am C
Now I'm just Michael in the bathroom, Michael in the bathroom, at a party
Am
Forget how long it's been
F Am C
I'm just Michael in the bathroom, Michael in the bathroom at a party
Am
No you can't come in!
C Em
I'm waiting it out 'til it's time to leave
C F
And picking at grout as I softly grieve
C Am C F
I'm just Michael who you don't know, Michael flyin' solo, Michael in the bathroom by himself
C
Oh, by himself
[Verse]
Am Em Am Em
I am hiding, but he's out there, just ignoring all our history
F Am C Am
Memories get erased, and I'll get replaced, with a newer, cooler version of me
Am Em Am Em Am
And I hear a drunk girl sing along to Whitney through the door - I wanna dance with somebody!
F Am C Am
And my feelings sink, 'cause it makes me think: now there's no one to make fun of drunk girls with anymore!
[Chorus]
F Am C
Now it's just Michael in the bathroom, Michael in the bathroom at a party
Am
I half regret the beers
F Am C
Michael in the bathroom, Michael in the bathroom at a party
Am
As I choke back the tears
C F
I'll wait as long as I need, until my face is dry
C F
Or I'll just blame it on weed, or something in my eye!
C Am
I'm just Michael who you don't know, Michael flyin' solo
C F
Michael in the bathroom by himself!
[Bridge]
Am Am Am Am
Knock, knock, knock, knock
C
They're gonna start to shout soon
Am Am Am Am
Knock, knock, knock, knock
C
Oh hell yeah, I'll be out soon
A A A A
Knock, knock, knock, knock
F
It sucks you left me here alone-
A A A A
Knock, knock, knock, knock
F
Here in this teenage battle zone-
E E E E
Clang, clang, clang, clang
F
I feel the pressure blowing up-
E E E E
Bang, bang, bang, bang
F
My big mistake was showing up-
Am Am Am Am
Splash, splash, splash, splash
F Em *
I throw some water in my face
F *
And I am in a better place
Em *
I go to open up the door
F
But I can't hear knocking Anymore
Am Em
And I can't help but yearn
C Am
For a different time
C Am
And then I look in the mirror
C Am
And the present is clearer
F C
And there's no denying, I'm just-
[Chorus]
F Am [x2]
C
At a party
Am
Is there a sadder sight than-
F Am
*hums*
F Am C
Michael in the bathroom at a party
[Verse]
Am
This is a heinous night
F C
I wish I stayed at home in bed watching cable porn
Am
Or wish I offed myself instead
C
Wish I was never born!
Am F
I'm just Michael who's a loner
Am C
So he must be a stoner
Am F
Rides a PT Cruiser
Am C
God he's such a loser
Am F
Michael flyin' solo
Am C
Who you think that you know
Am F C
Michael in the bathroom by himself
C F
Oh, by himself
C F
Oh, by himself
C F
All you know about me is my name
C F
Awesome party
C F C
I'm so glad I came
