Verse 1
I Got COne Shoe On My Feet
I Told My FFriends I'd Go To The Parade But Waited Far Too Long To Leave
CI Met A Boy Last Week
And Then I FTold Him That I Liked Him, He Said That Was Pretty Bold Of Me, Now

Pre-Chorus 1
C Isn't It, Isn't It The FWay Things Always Go For Me?
C Honesty, Gets Misconstrued And FMet With Some Weird Apathy

Chorus
And Now I'm DmSitting On The Couch With One GFoot Stuck In My Mouth
And The CRest Of Me Is Stuck InA#side My HAead
And I'm Just DmTrying To Figure Out The Real GWay Things All Went Down
And Not The CWay I A#Wanted It InstAead

Verse 2
And CI Can't Comprehend
That When It FHappens In The Movies All Thе Actors Get A Second Chance
AndC Thе Audience All Cheers
But In FReal Life When You Show Your Cards, What You Thought Was Magic Disappears, Now

Pre-Chorus 2
C Isn't It, Isn't It EFxactly What Has Happened Here?
C Transparency Got Confused
Viewed Like Some FNarcissistic Party Trick But No One's Even Watching It

Chorus
And Now I'm DmSitting On The Couch With One GFoot Stuck In My Mouth
And The CRest Of Me Is Stuck InA#side My HAead
And I'm Just DmTrying To Figure Out The Real GWay Things All Went Down
And Not The CWay I A#Wanted It InstAead
