Michael In The Bathroom

E  F#            E  F#                E  F#              G#m
I am hanging in the bathroom at the biggest party of the fall
E  F#            E  F#                E  F#              G#m
I could stay right here or disappear, and nobody'd even notice at all

E  F#   E  F#     E  F#    E  F#

E  F#            E  F#                E  F#              G#m
I'm a creeper in a bathroom 'cause my buddy kinda left me alone
 E  F#            E  F#                E  F#                               Bmaj7
But I'd rather fake pee than stand awkwardly, or pretend to check a text on my phone

  D#m                                      F#
Everything felt fine when I was half of a pair
             D#m                                      E
Now through no fault of mine, there's no other half there

F#sus4    F#    B             F#         G#m         E              B
Now I'm just Michael in the bathroom, Michael in the bathroom at a party
            F#sus4    F#
Forget how long it's been
         B             F#         G#m         E                 D#m
I'm just Michael in the bathroom, Michael in the bathroom at a party
        F#sus4    F#
No you can't come in!
   E                       F#
I'm waiting it out 'til it's time to leave
    G#m                     C#sus4
And picking at grout as I softly grieve
 C#7       F#                             G      G#m          C#7       E              F#
I'm just Michael who you don't know, Michael flyin' solo, Michael in the bathroom by himself

E  F#  E  F#

 E F#         E  F#  E  F#
All by himself

   E  F#            E  F#                E  F#            G#m
I am hiding, but he's out there, just ignoring all our history
E  F#            E  F#                E  F#                               Bmaj7
Memories get erased, and I'll get replaced, with a newer, cooler version of me
        D#m                                                F#
And I hear a drunk girl sing along to Whitney through the door, "I wanna dance with somebody"
          D#m                                               E                                 
And my feelings sink, 'cause it makes me think: now there's no one to make fun of drunk girls 
F#sus4
with anymore!

F#            B              F#         G#m              E         F#sus4
Now it's just Michael in the bathroom, Michael in the bathroom at a party
           F#
I half regret the beers
 B              F#         G#m              E          D#m
Michael in the bathroom, Michael in the bathroom at a party
            F#sus4   F#
As I choke back the tears
     E                                 F#
I'll wait as long as I need, until my face is dry
              G#m                           C#7
Or I'll just blame it on weed, or something in my eye!
         F#    F#m        G           G#m         C#7
I'm just Michael who you don't know, Michael flyin' solo
 E              F#            E      F#    E    F#
Michael in the bathroom by himself!

E              F#
Knock, knock, knock, knock
E                 F#
They're gonna start to shout soon
E                 F#
Knock, knock, knock, knock
E                 F#
Oh hell yeah, I'll be out soon
 F            G
Knock, knock, knock, knock
 F            G
It sucks you left me here alone
 F            G
Knock, knock, knock, knock

Here in this teenage battle zone-
A              G
Clang, clang, clang, clang
A              G
I feel the pressure blowing up
 A              G
Bang, bang, bang, bang
 A              G
My big mistake was showing up
  G#             A#
Splash, splash, splash, splash

 G#             A#
I throw some water in my face
 G#m                      C#
And I am in a better place
                     E
I go to open up the door
                   F#
But I can't hear knocking
E       F#
Anymore

E       F# (x3)

            D#m
And I can't help but yearn
                 F#
For a different time
             D#m
And then I look in the mirror

And the present is clearer
                  E    F#sus4 F#
And there's no denying, I'm just-
B   F#   G#m   E

    F#sus4
At a party
            F#
Is there a sadder sight than-
  B   F#
*hums*
 G#m           E               F#
Michael in the bathroom at a party
           D#m     F#
This is a heinous night
        E                               F#
I wish I stayed at home in bed watching cable porn
           G#m
Or wish I offed myself instead
            C#7
Wish I was never born
         F#              G
I'm just Michael who's a loner
        G#m      C#7
So he must be a stoner
        F#    G
Rides a PT Cruiser
          G#m      C#7
God he's such a loser
     F#         G
Michael flyin' solo
          G#m       C#7
Who you think that you know
  F#                       E   F#
Michael in the bathroom by himself
    E   F#       E   F#
All by himself
    E   F#       E   F#
All by himself
      E   F#         E   F#
All you know about me is my name
    E   F#
Awesome party
      E   F#      B
I'm so glad I came
