More afraid of you than you are of me
G
But if you leave some food out on the porch
Cadd9
I might stay 'til there's nothing left to eat
D Em Cadd9
I'd be sitting alone at a lunch table in high school
D Cadd9
If I wasn't sitting alone at a punk show in Asheville
G Cadd9
He-he-hey
[Verse 2]
G
Tonight the upper left hand side of my chest
Cadd9
Has a hole as big as the one in my pockets
G
I mighta kissed you wearing a bulletproof vest
Cadd9
But hell, you kiss like a rocket
D Em Cadd9
I'd be a teenage virgin jerking off in my bedroom
D Em Cadd9
If I wasn't a 20 year old virgin that doesn't have a bedroom.
[Outro]
G
He-he-hey
Cadd9
He-he-he-hey
G
He-he-hey
