[Verse 1]
G                       D
Straight hair, straight A's, straight forward
Em                C
Straight past, I don't cut corners
G         D               A
I make a point to be on time
N.C.
Head of the student council
G              D
I don't black out at parties
Em        C
I jam to Paul McCartney
G                        D
If you asked me how I'm doing
          A*
I'll say... well

[Pre-Chorus]
Em                  C
I was adopted when I was two
G                      D
My parents spoiled me rotten, often
Em                 C
I ask myself what did I do
G                     D
To get as far as I've gotten
E                  C
A pretty girl walks by my locker
  G                           D                 Em
My heart gives a flutter but I don't dare utter a word
                       C*
'Cause that would be absurd behavior
     D*

[Chorus]
G               D                Em
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na no
             C                     G
I can't risk falling off my throne
         D                Em
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la love
             C
Is something I don't even know
G               D             Em
Straight hair, straight A's, straight forward
C*
Straight girl

[Verse 2]
G                 D
One night, my friend stayed over
Em                  C
We laughed, And drank and ordered
G                  D                A
Something about her drew me in...
      N.C.
What? It's totally platonic
G                  D
That night, was so exciting
Em              C
Her smirks were so enticing
G.             D
Hours speed by like seconds
A      N.C.
Then, what happens is iconic

[Pre-Chorus]
Em          C
She takes a sip,
          G                D
I bite my lip, She tells a joke,
         Em                   C
I nearly choke, She braids my hair
             G             D
I sit there, blacking out for the first time
Em           C               G
Next thing I know, I lose control
          D
I finally kiss her but oh no
Em          C
I see a face in my window
D
Then my brain starts to go:

[Chorus]
G              D                Em
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na no
               C                   G
You can't risk falling off your throne
           D                Em
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la love
             C                    G
Is something you don't even know
         D              Em
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na no
               C                 G
You can't risk falling off your throne
           D                 C*
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la love
               G
You don't even

[Outro]

D
Rewind, induce amnesia
Em         C
Deny the truth, it's easier
G                    D
You're just confused, believe her
Em            C               D
When she says there's nothing there
     C       D
It's never worth it...
             Em*    C*     D*       G*
