[Intro]
C G A# G# G
[Verse 1]
C
Let's paint a picture: you're in class
G
The teacher writes the notes too fast
A#
And there's a boy who sits in back
G# G
Who's too afraid to raise his hand
C
And ask if she can slow it down
G
So nervously he looks around
A#
Can't bare to stand out in the crowd
G# G
And he's only gotten half the notes now
C
The school bell rings and he feels deflated
G
He looks at his hand, he should've raised it
A#
His biggest fear, he should've faced it
G# G
And now he's lost inside the pages
C
He might be there but you'd never notice
G
Got a lot to say but he's soft spoken
A#
He's a book that just isn't open
G# G
A tiny ripple in a stormy ocean
[Bridge]
C D#
Glassman, Mister Glassman
A# Gaug
Glass...man
[Chorus]
C
Mister Glassman!
G
He's really soft-spoken
A# G# G
You never notice glass unless its broken
C
Mister Glassman!
G
He's really soft-spoken
A# G# G
You never notice glass unless its broken
N.C.
Mister Glassman
[Verse 2]
C
A few years later, and now it's prom season
G
Mister Glass isn't going, unless he has a reason
A#
There's a cutie in his class that he likes a lot
G# G
But he's afraid to ask, because they've never talked
C
Plus if she says yes, what's he gonna do?
G
Doesn't have a car, dude, he's screwed
A#
He doesn't feel cool, he's too subdued, And he's scared to meet her parents too
G# G
Boohoo, just another chance he blew
C
Cause theres too many things going on in his head
G
And he's always in his head thinking too far ahead
A#
Could've gone to prom, But instead he lays in bed
G# G
Thinkin' of all the things that he left unsaid till he's red
C
Sorry, Mister Glass, the world has a way
G
But now I'm sure you've heard many people say:
A#
"You miss every opportunity you don't take"
G# G
Don't be shy, kid, make your own fate
[Bridge]
C D#
Glassman, Mister Glassman
A# Gaug
Glass...man
[Chorus]
C
Mister Glassman!
G
He's really soft-spoken
A# G# G
You never notice glass unless its broken
C
Mister Glassman!
G
He's really soft-spoken
A# G# G
You never notice glass unless its broken

Mister Glassman
[Verse 3]
C
Now Mister Glass is older, and he's doing just fine
G
Yeah, he made it through high school, Even though he was shy
A#
He's got a group of good friends, and his future is bright
G# G
And he still gets sad, but he's happy with his life
C
Remember when he didn't ask the cutie to prom?
G
Well, now he's got a couple kids, And they're calling her mom, man
A#
And remember when he couldn't raise his hand in class?
G# G
Well now he's up on stage in front of fans, rappin' fast
C
But he still gets scared and he still gets nervous
G
Cause you gotta fear the waves if you wanna go surfin'
A#
Nothin' is for certain, Like does cursive have a purpose?
G#
Was it worth it that you learned it?
G
Probably not, I don't know, I digress
C G
But the point i'm tryna stress. Is that we're all just made of glass
A#
Even when we're at our best, We can break, we can splinter
G#
Or disappear or lose our temper, Even if you think you're bulletproof
G
I am glass, and so are you
[Bridge]
C D#
Glassman, Mister Glassman
A# Gaug
Glass...man
[Chorus]
C
Mister Glassman!
G
He's really soft-spoken
A# G# G
You never notice glass unless its broken
C
Mister Glassman!
G
He's really soft-spoken
A# G# G
You never notice glass unless its broken
[Outro]
C G
Its hard to get by when you're feelin' so shy
A# G# G
You gotta keep on movin' just a step at a time
C
Mister Glassman
G
He's really soft-spoken!
A# G# G
You never notice glass unless its broken! Mista'
C
Shooby doo wop
G
Shooby doo way
A#
Shooby dooby dooby doo
G# G
