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

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

Chorus
And Now I'm BmSitting On The Couch With One EFoot Stuck In My Mouth
And The ARest Of Me Is Stuck InGside My F#Head
And I'm Just BmTrying To Figure Out The Real EWay Things All Went Down
And Not The AWay I GWanted It InsF#tead

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

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

Chorus
And Now I'm BmSitting On The Couch With One EFoot Stuck In My Mouth
And The ARest Of Me Is Stuck InGside My F#Head
And I'm Just BmTrying To Figure Out The Real EWay Things All Went Down
And Not The AWay I GWanted It InsF#tead

E I Wrote A DLetter BmOn A E7Plane
It ASaid, "I Miss DYou" And, "BmWhat's Your Middle E7Name?"
A I Tore It DUp And I BmThrew It E7Away
I AThrew It ADway  Bm      E7​
And AI Took A DFerry The BmVery Next E7Day
To A ASmall IsDland Off The BmCoast Of L.E7a.
A And Everyone DThere Knew Me BmBy My E7Fake Name
ABy My DFake NameBm      E7​
A   (DI Don'tBm    E7Know YouA    DBut BmI'd E7Like To)
A   (DI Don'tBm    E7Know YouA    DBut BmI'd E7Like To)
'Cause AI Don't DDo Too Much BmTalking AnyE7more
That ADoesn't Lead To Me DSaying Sorry Or BmGetting IgE7nored
A And Heaven DKnows I'm BmGetting Pretty E7Bored, I'm AGetting Pretty DBoredBm      E7​
And AI Don't DHave Many BmFriends AnyE7more
Who Don't ASeem To View DMe Like Some BmPawn On Chess E7Board
A Heaven DKnows I'm BmGetting Pretty E7Bored, I'm AGetting Pretty DBoredBm      E7​

And Now I'm BmSitting On The Couch With One EFoot Stuck In My Mouth
