Intro: C  C/B  Am  G4  F  G4  



C        C/B             Am  
  Betty, I won’t make assumptions  
        G4                   F  
About why you switched your homeroom  
                           G4  
But I think it’s cause of me  
C        C/B             Am  
  Betty, one time I was riding  
        G4               F  
On my skateboard when I passed your house  
                       G4  
It’s like I couldn’t breathe  


C                C/B          Am  
  You heard the rumors from Inez  
             G4               F  
You can’t believe a word she says most times  
                       G4  
But this time it was true  
     Am           G    C     F  
The worst thing that I ever did  
      Am    G      F  G  
Was what I did to you  


                C                C/B  
But if I just showed up at your party  
           Am                 G  
Would you have me? Would you want me?  
           F             Am  
Would you tell me to go fuck myself  
    G  
Or lead me to the garden?  
        C                 C/B  
In the garden would you trust me  
      Am              G              F  
If I told you it was just a summer thing?  
          Am           G  
I’m only seventeen, I don’t know anything  
              C  
But I know I miss you  

( C/B  Am  G4  F  G4 )  


C        C/B             Am  
  Betty, I know where it all went wrong  
      G                  F  
Your favorite song was playing  
                          G  
From the far side of the gym  
C        C/B           Am  
  I was nowhere to be found  
             G  
I hate the crowds you know that  
F                            G  
  Plus I saw you dance with him  


C                C/B          Am  
  You heard the rumors from Inez  
             G4               F  
You can’t believe a word she says most times  
                       G4  
But this time it was true  
     Am           G    C     F  
The worst thing that I ever did  
      Am    G      F  G  
Was what I did to you  


                C                C/B  
But if I just showed up at your party  
           Am                 G  
Would you have me? Would you want me?  
           F             Am  
Would you tell me to go fuck myself  
    G  
Or lead me to the garden?  
        C                 C/B  
In the garden would you trust me  
      Am              G              F  
If I told you it was just a summer thing?  
          Am           G  
I’m only seventeen, I don’t know anything  
              C  
But I know I miss you  

( C/B  Am  G  F  G )  


Am                         G  
   I was walking home on broken cobblestones  
              F  
Just thinking of you when she pulled up  
        G  
Like a figment of my worst intentions  
  Am                            G  
She said, "James get in let’s drive." Those days  
             F  
Turned into nights, slept next to her  
    G                             C  
But   I dreamt of you all summer long  

( C/B  Am  G  F  G )  
( Am  G  F  Fm )  


C        C/B               Am  
  Betty, I’m here on your doorstep  
        G4                F  
And I planned it out for weeks now  
                         G4  
But it’s finally sinking in  
C         C/B              Am  
  Betty, right now is the last time  
        G4              F  
I can dream about what happens when  
                  G4  
You see my face again  
    Am     G      C       F  
The only thing I want to do  
    Am     G      F  G  
Is make it up to you  

       C                C/B  Am G  F  Em  G  
So I showed up at your party  
          C                C/B   
Yeah, I showed up at your party  

( Am  G  F  Em  G )  


          D                D/C#  
Yeah, I showed up at your party  
          Bm               A  
Will you have me will you love me  
          G              D 
Will you kiss me on the porch  
            Em                A  
In front of all your stupid friends?  
        D                D/C#  
If you kiss me, will it be  
              Bm  
Just like I dreamed it  
         A                 G  
Will it patch your broken wings  
          D             Em             A  
I’m only seventeen, I don’t know anything  
              D       A  G  
But I know I miss you  

Final  

G2              D         A  G  
   Standing in your cardigan  
G2             D       A   G  
   Kissing in my car again  

Stopped at a streetlight  
             D       D/F#  G  
You know, I miss you
