[Intro]
| E | E | A | A |
| E | E | A | A |
[Verse 1]
E A
My friends' tribulations, broken shoelaces
E A
Collide on the curb of the suburb in mazes
E A
Clutching a copy of Salinger's heartbeat
B A E
Stained on his sore paperback
[Verse 2]
E A
The spawl in the hollows, the middle school ball
E A
Clothespinned my confidence, already small
E A
Physical fitness and pubescent misfits
B A E
I still feel the game of kickball
[Verse 3]
E A
The stick figure people beneath the steeple
E A
Smile and file and pinch my cheekbones
E A
I know I should know them, they ask how school's goin'
B A E
Embarrassed affirmations like "good"
[Chorus]
B A
And I'm agonizing over acne
B A
My legs grow too long for the backseat
B A
Curves have emerged and I'm noticing hers
B A A7
Anxious eye contact in passing
[Verse 4]
E A
Art club and algebra, is this shirt cool enough?
E A
Learning to shave 'cause I want to be brave and stuff
E A
When will my first kiss be? Will it be like TV?
B A E
Should I be holding her hand?
[Chorus]
B A
And I'm agonizing over acne
B A
My legs grow too long for the backseat
B A
Curves have emerged and I'm noticing hers
B A A7
Anxious eye contact in passing
[Verse 5]
E A
My friends' tribulations and broken shoelaces
E A
Collide on the curb of the suburb in mazes
E A
Clutching a copy of Salinger's heartbeat
B A E
Stained on his sore paperback
