Michael In The Bathroom

I am (A)hang ing in the bath room at the big gest par ty of the fall.

I could (A)stay right here or dis ap pear and no bod y’d e ven no tice at all.

I’m a (A)creep er in a bath room ’cause my bud dy kind a left me a lone.

But I’d (A)rath er fake pee than stand (A)awk ward ly or pre tend to check a text on my phone.

Ev ’ry (G#)thing felt fine

when I was half of a (B)pair.

Now, through no (G#)fault of mine,

there’s no oth er half (A)there.

Now I’m just (E)Mi chael in the bath room, (C#)Mi chael in the bath room at a (E)par ty.

For get how (A)long it’s been.

I’m just (E)Mi chael in the bath room, (C#)Mi chael in the bath room at a (G#)par ty.

No, you (A)can’t come in!

I’m (A)wait ing it out till it’s (B)time to leave, and (C#)pick ing at grout as I (F#)soft ly grieve.

Oh, I’m just (E)Mi chael who you don’t know, (C#)Mi chael fly ing so lo, (A)Mi chael in the bath room by him self,

all by him self.

I am (A)hid ing, but he’s out there, just ig nor ing all our his to ry.

Mem ’ries (A)get e rased and I’ll (A)get re placed with a new er, cool er ver sion of me.

And I (G#)hear a drunk girl sing a long to Whit ney through the (B)door,

“I wan na dance with some bod y!” And my (G#)feel ings sink ’cause it makes me think; now there’s no one to make fun of drunk girls (B)with an y more!

Now it’s just (E)Mi chael in the bath room, (C#)Mi chael in the bath room at a (E)par ty.

I half re (A)gret the beers.

(E)Mi chael in the bath room, (C#)Mi chael in the bath room at a (G#)par ty, as I choke (A)back the tears.

I’ll wait as (A)long as I need till my (B)face is dry, or I’ll just (C#)blame it on weed or some thing (F#)in my eye.

Oh, I’m just (E)Mi chael who you don’t know, (C#)Mi chael fly ing so lo, (A)Mi chael in the bath room by him self.

(A)Knock, knock, knock, knock, they’re gon na start to shout soon.

(A)Knock, knock, knock, knock, oh hell, yeah, I’ll be out soon.

(Bb)Knock, knock, knock, knock, it sucks you left me here a lone, (Bb)knock, knock, knock, knock, here in this teen age bat tle zone.

(C)Clang, clang, clang, clang, I feel the pres sure blow ing up.

(C)Bang, bang, bang, bang, my big mis take was show ing up.

(Db)Splash, splash, splash, splash, I throw some wa ter in my face and I am in a bet ter place.

I go to o pen up the door, but I can’t hear knock ing an y (A)more.

And I can’t (G#)help but yearn

for a dif f’rent (B)time.

And then I (G#)look in the mir ror and the pres ent is clear er and there’s (A)no de ny ing (E)I’m

just...

...at a (E)par ty.

Is there a (A)sad der sight than...

(E)hmm,

This is a (A)hei nous night.

I wish I (A)stayed at home in bed watch ing (B)ca ble porn, or wish I’d (C#)offed mys elf in stead.

Wish I was (F#)nev er born!

I’m just (E)Mi chael who’s a lon er, so (C#)he must be a ston er.

(E)Rides a P T Cruis er, (C#)God, he’s such a los er.

(E)Mi chael fly ing so lo, (C#)who you think that you know.

(A)Mi chael in the bath room by him self,

And (A)all you know a bout me (A)is my name.
