[Verse 1]
C C/B Am
Betty, I won't make assumptions
Am/G F
About why you switched your homeroom
F G4 G4
But, I think it's 'cause of me
C C/B Am Am/G
Betty, one time I was riding on my skateboard
F
When I passed your house
F G4 G4
It's like I couldn't breathe
[Pre Chorus]
C C/B
You heard the rumors from Inez
Am Am/G
You can't believe a word she says
F F G4 G4
Most times, but this time, it was true
Am G C F
The worst thing that I ever did
Am G F F G G
Was what I did to you
[Chorus]
C C/B
But if I just showed up at your party
Am Am/G
Would you have me? Would you want me?
F F
Would you tell me to go straight to hell
G4 G4
Or lead me to the garden?
C C/B
In the garden, would you trust me
Am Am/G
If I told you it was just a summer thing?
F F G4 G4
I'm only 17, I don't know anything
C C/B Am Am/G F F G4 G4
But I know I miss you
[Verse 2]
C C/B Am
Betty, I know where it all went wrong
Am/G F
Your favourite song was playing
F G4 G4
From the far side of the gym
C C/B Am
I was nowhere to be found
Am/G
I hate the crowds, you know that
F F G4 G4
Plus, I saw you dance with him
[Pre Chorus]
C C/B
You heard the rumors from Inez
Am Am/G
You can't believe a word she says
F F G4 G4
Most times, but this time, it was true
Am G C F
The worst thing that I ever did
Am G F F G G
Was what I did to you
[Chorus]
C C/B
But if I just showed up at your party
Am Am/G
Would you have me? Would you want me?
F F
Would you tell me to go straight to hell
G4 G4
Or lead me to the garden?
C C/B
In the garden, would you trust me
Am Am/G
If I told you it was just a summer thing?
F F G4 G4
I'm only 17, I don't know anything
C C/B Am Am/G F F G4 G4
But I know I miss you
[Bridge]
Am Am G G
I was walking home on broken cobblestones
F
Just thinking of you
F
When she pulled up
G G
Like a figment of my worst intentions
Am Am G
She said, "James, get in, let's drive"
G F
Those days turned into nights
F
Slept next to her, but
G G C C/B Am Am/G F F G4 G4
I dreamt of you all summer long
[Music Interlude]
Am Am G F Fm
[Verse 3]
C C/B Am
Betty, I'm here on your doorstep
Am/G F
And I planned it out for weeks now
F G4 G4
But it's finally sinking in
C C/B Am
Betty, right now is the last time
Am/G F
I can dream about what happens
F G4 G4
When you see my face again
Am G C F
The only thing I wanna do
Am G F F G G
Is make it up to you
C C/B Am Am/G F F G4 G4
So, I showed up at your party
C C/B Am Am/G F F G4 G4
Yeah, I showed up at your party
[Ending]
D A
Yeah, I showed up at your party
Bm A
Will you have me? Will you love me?
G Bm A A
Will you kiss me on the porch in front of all your stupid friends?
D A Bm
If you kiss me, will it be just like I dreamed it?
A G
Will it patch your broken wings?
Bm A A
I'm only 17, I don't know anything
D A G
But I know I miss you
D A G
Standing in your cardigan
D A G
Kissing in my car again
Stopped at a streetlight
D A G
You know I miss you
