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

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

Chorus
And Now I'm AmSitting On The Couch With One DFoot Stuck In My Mouth
And The GRest Of Me Is Stuck InFside My EHead
And I'm Just AmTrying To Figure Out The Real DWay Things All Went Down
And Not The GWay I FWanted It InsEtead

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

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

Chorus
And Now I'm AmSitting On The Couch With One DFoot Stuck In My Mouth
And The GRest Of Me Is Stuck InFside My EHead
And I'm Just AmTrying To Figure Out The Real DWay Things All Went Down
And Not The GWay I FWanted It InsEtead
