[Intro]
G D
Just as I was about to take my shoes
A Bm
Off, on the rooftop there I see
G D
A girl with braided hair here before me
A Bm
Despite myself I go and scream,
N.C.
"Hey. Don't do it please!"
G D A Bm
[Verse]
G D
Whoa, wait a minute what did I just say?
A Bm
I couldn't care less either way!
G D
And to be honest I was somewhat pissed...
A Bm
This was an opportunity missed!
G D
The girl with braided hair told me her woes,
A Bm
You've probably heard it all before.
G D
"I really thought that he might be the one.
A Bm
But then he told me he was done."
[Chorus]
G D
For God's sake please!
A Bm
Are you serious? I just can't believe
G D A Bm
That for some stupid reason you got here before me!
G D A Bm
Are you upset 'cause you can't have what you wanted?
G D A Bm
You're lucky that you've never gotten robbed of anything!
[Refrain]
G
"I'm feeling better, thank you for listening."
A
The girl with braided hair then disappeared.
[Interlude]
G D A Bm
[Verse]
G
Alright, today's the day!
D
Or so I thought...
A Bm
Just as I took both of my shoes off,
G D
There was but a girl short as can be,
A Bm
Despite myself I go and scream.
G D
The petite girl told me her woes,
A Bm
You've probably heard it all before.
G D
"Everyone ignores me. Everyone steals.
A Bm
I don't fit in with anyone here."
[Chorus]
G D
For God's sake please!
A Bm
Are you serious? I just can't believe
G D A Bm
That for some stupid reason you got here before me!
G D A Bm
'Cause even so, you're still loved by everyone at home!
G D A Bm
There's always dinner waiting on the table, you know!
[Refrain]
G
"I'm hungry."
Said the girl as she shed a tear,
A
The girl short as can be then disappeared.
[Bridge]
G D A Bm
And like that, there was someone everyday.
G D
I listened to their tale,
A Bm
I made them turn away.
D
And yet there was no one who
A D Em
Would do this for me, no way I could
A
Let out all this pain.
[Interlude]
G D A Bm
[Verse]
G D
For the very first time there I see,
A Bm
Someone with the same pains as me!
G D
Having done this time and time again.
A Bm
She wore a yellow cardigan.
G D
"I just wanna stop the scars that grow,
A Bm
Every time that I go home...
G D
That's why I came up here instead."
A Bm
That's what the girl in the cardigan said.
A E
Whoa, wait a minute what did I just say?
B C#m
I couldn't care less either way!
A E
But in the moment I just screamed,
B C#m
Something that I did not believe.
N.C.
"Hey. Don't do it please..."
[Chorus]
A E
Ahh! What to do?!
B C#m
I can't stop this girl oh this is new!
A E B C#m
For once I think I've bitten off more than I can chew...
A E B C#m
But even so, please just go away so I can't see,
A E B C#m
Your pitiful expression is just too much for me!
[Refrain]
A
"I guess today is just not my day."
B
She looked away from me and then she disappeared.
[Verse]
G
There's no one here today
D
I guess it's time.
A Bm
It's just me, myself, and I.
G D
There's no one who can interfere.
A Bm
No one to get in my way here.
G D
Taking off my yellow cardigan.
A Bm
Watching my braids all come undone.
G D
This petite girl, short as can be.
A Bm
Is gonna jump now and be free.
