[Verse 1]
C        G/B                 Am             G
 Betty, I   won't make assumptions About why
                      F
you switched your homeroom
But, I think it's 'cause of me
Gsus4 C          G/B              Am             G
       Betty, one   time I was riding on my skateboard
             F
When I passed your house
It's like I couldn't breathe
Gsus4 C              G/B             Am
       You heard the rumors from Inez
            G                    F
You can't believe a word she says
Most times, but this time it was true
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Gsus4    Am          G      C    F
     The worst thing that I ever did
    Am     G         F
Was what I did to you
 
 
[Chorus]
G                    C              G/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                  G/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   G/B
But I know I miss you

                    F
vorite song was playing
From the far side of the gym
G C        G/B              Am                  G
   I was nowhere to be found  I hate the crowds,

F
 Plus, I saw you dance with him
G C              G/B             Am

You can't believe a word she says
Most times, but this time it was true

[Bridge]
Am                      G
  I was walking home on broken cobblestones
                F
Just thinking of you
When she pulled up like
  G
A figment of my worst intentions
Am                             G
She said "James, get in, let's drive"
                       F
Those days turned into nights
Slept next to her, but
G                               C G/B
 I dreamt of you all summer long

Will you kiss me on the porch

your broken wings?
         Bm           Em                 A

[Outro]
                D        A G
Standing in your cardigan
             D         A G
Kissin' in my car again
Stopped at a streetlight
               D   A G
You know I miss you
