Gm Abmaj7 Gm Abmaj7 (x2)

[Verse 1]
Gm                            Abmaj7
   Took some time for you to see me
Gm                                        Abmaj7
   Just wanted you to know I think that you're the bees knees
      G                               Abmaj7
Can't look you in the eyes, I stare at my feet
         G                           Abmaj7
Hold you tight, wouldn't want you to leave
         Gm
Maybe I'll try
            Abmaj7                            G      Abmaj7
To come to school once in a while, just to see you
            Gm
You said goodbye
             Abmaj7                          G         Abmaj7
And to this day, thinking about it makes me feel blue


[Chorus]
G                           Ab             Gm   Abmaj7
   I always said I feel like I'm in purgatory
G                       Ab                    Gm   Abmaj7
   I hope that it gets better when I'm seventeen

[Verse 2]
Gm                          Abmaj7
   Turning all my pictures around
          Gm                                Abmaj7
'Cause we both know everything looks better upside down

Maybe it's time that I shaved my head and bought some new clothes
            Gm            Abmaj7                          G  Abmaj7
You'll ask me why, and to that, I'll say that I don't know
