Intro
D D Bm D x2
[Verse]
D Bm
Betty, I won't make assumptions about
G
Why you switched your homeroom
A
I think it's 'cause of me
D Bm
Betty, one time I was riding on my skateboard
G
And I passed your house
A
It's like I couldn't breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
D Bm
You heard the rumors from Inez
G
You can't believe a word she says
A
Most times, but this time, it was true
Am* G* C* F*
And the worst thing that I ever did
Am* G* G
Is what I did to you
[Chorus]
A D C#m
But if I just showed up at your party
Bm
Would you have me?
A
Would you want me?
G Bm
Would you tell me to go fuck myself
A
Or lead me to the garden?
D C#m
In the garden, would you trust me
Bm A G
If I told you it was just a summer fling?
Bm A
I'm only 17, I don't know anything
A
But I know I...
[Verse]
D Bm
Betty, I know where it all went wrong
G
Your favorite song was playing
A
From the far side of the gym
D Bm
I was nowhere to be found
G
I hate the crowds, you know that
A
Plus, I saw you dance with him
[Pre-Chorus]
D A Bm
You heard the rumors from Inez
A G
You can't believe a word she says
A
Most times, but this time, it was true
Am* G* C* F*
And the worst thing that I ever did
Am* G* G
Is what I did to you
[Chorus]
A D A
But if I just showed up at your party
Bm
Would you have me?
A
Would you want me?
G Bm
Would you tell me to go fuck myself
A
Or lead me to the garden?
D A
In the garden, would you trust me
Bm A G
If I told you it was just a summer fling?
Bm A
I'm only 17, I don't know anything
D Bm G A
But I know I miss you
D Bm G A
[Bridge]
Bm A
I was walking home on broken cobblestones
G
Just thinking of you when she pulled up
A
Like a figment of my worst intentions
Bm A
She said, "James, get in, let's drive"
G
Those days turned into nights
Slept next to her, but
G*
I dreamt of you all summer long
D Bm G A x2
[Verse]
C* Am*
Betty, I'm here on your doorstep
G* F*
And I planned it out for weeks now
G*
But it's finally sinking in
D A Bm
And Betty, right now is the last time
A G
I can dream about what happens
A
When you see my face again
Am* G* C* F*
And the only thing I want to do
Am* G* G A
Is make it up to you
[Chorus]
D Bm G A
Yeah, I showed up at your party
D Bm F#m A
Yeah, I showed up at your party
D*
Well, I showed up at your party
Bm*
Will you have me?
A*
Will you love me?
G* D*
Will you kiss me on the front porch
Em* A*
Front of all your stupid friends?
D*
And when you kiss me
D* Bm*
Will it be just like I dreamed it?
A* A
Will it patch your broken wings?
E A F#m B
I'm only 17, I don't know anything
But I know I...
E B
Showed up to your party
C#m
Will you have me?
B
Will you love me?
A E
Will you kiss me on the front porch
F#m B
In front of all your stupid friends?
E
And when you kiss me
C#m
Will it be just like I dreamed it?
B A
Will it patch your broken wings?
G# F#m B
I'm only 17, I don't know anything
E B A
But I know I miss you
[Outro]
A E B A
Standing in my car again
A E B A
Kissing in my car again
E B A
Stopped at a streetlight
D*
Yeah, you know I miss you
