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

And when you kiss me
G#m
Will it be just like I dreamed it?
F# E
Will it patch your broken wings?
D# C#m F#
I'm only 17, I don't know anything
B F# E
But I know I miss you
[Outro]
E B F# E
Standing in my car again
E B F# E
Kissing in my car again
B F# E
Stopped at a streetlight
D*
Yeah, you know I miss you
