Note: Mal uses bar chords throughout the song
[VERSE I:]
E B
I can’t speak for anybody else
A
I only represent myself
But if I had to say something,
E
I’d say this party really sucks!
B
And if you wanted to come here
A
Then why did you bring me along? Now I’m sitting in this corner
A
Pretending I know this song
[PRE-CHORUS:]
E B
Am I saying the wrong thing?
A
Am I wearing the wrong thing?
A
Am I saying the wrong thing while wearing the wrong thing?
[regular strumming]
E
Oh no
[CHORUS:]
E B
You had me on watch
A
I wish that you’d stop
E
I’ve been knocking on wood.
E
Then there’s me
B
In my worried shell
A
You know me so well
E
But not like you should.
[VERSE II:]
(back to barred strumming)
E
Now you are sitting there,
B
Your hair looks just like Gwen Stefani’s
A
You are wearing your tight jeans that you liked more before you met me
E
But I never said a thing!
B
I bit and bound my tongue!
A
Now you’re making out with someone else in front of me
like do you think I’m dumb?
[PRE-CHORUS:]
E B
And am I saying the wrong thing?
A
Am I wearing the wrong thing?
A
Am I saying the wrong thing while wearing the wrong thing?
E
Oh no
[CHORUS:]
(regular strumming)
E
You had me on watch
B
I wish that you’d stop
A
I’ve been knocking on wood
A
Then there’s me
E
In my foolish shell
B
You know me so well
A
But not like you should
A
And I would, if you would only ask
E
So, why don’t you ask?
B
We usually always get along
A
I usually only speak in song
If only you could speak in song
E
Then for sure we’d get along
B
‘cause I am just the same as you
A
And I get just as restless too
But it’s about the altitude
Not who is climbing up
E B
It’s about the altitude not who is climbing up, oh
A A
It’s about the altitude not who is climbing up, oh
E B
It’s about the altitude not who is climbing up, oh
A A
It’s about the altitude not who is climbing up, oh
E B
It’s about the altitude not who is climbing up, oh
A A
It’s about the altitude not who is climbing up
A
But I would never take you to a party if it sucked…
E
And it sucked.
