Tom: C#m
A9 B
I am hanging in the bathroom
A9 B C#m
At the biggest party of the fall
A9 B
I could stay right here or disappear
A9 B E
and nobody'd even notice at all
A9 B
I'm a creeper in a bathroom
A9 B C#m
cause my buddy kinda left me alone
A9 B
but I'd rather fake pee than stand awkwardly
A9 B E
and pretend to check a text on my phone
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Abm
Everything felt fine
B
when I was half of a pair
Abm
and through no fault of mine
A B
there's no other half there Now I'm just
[Chorus 1]
E B
Michael in the bathroom
C#m A9 E
Michael in the bathroom at a party
A9 B
Forget how long its been I'm just
E B
Michael in the bathroom
C#m A9 Abm
Michael in the bathroom at a party
A9 B
No, you can't come in
A B
I'm waiting it out 'til it's time to leave
C#m F#7
and picking at grout as I softly grieve
E Ab
I'm just Michael who you don't know
C#m F#7
Michael flying solo
A9 B A9
Michael in the bathroom by himself
E A9 C#m A9 E A9 C#m A9
All by himself
[Verse 2]
A9 B
I am hiding, but he's out there
A9 B C#m
Just ignoring all our history
A9 B E
Memories get erased and I'll get replaced
A9 B C#m
with a newer cooler version of me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Abm
And I hear a drunk girl
B
Singing along to Whitney through the door "I wanna dance with somebody!"
Abm
And my feelings sink
A B
Cause it makes me think
E B
Now there's no one to make fun of drunk girls with anymore
now it's just
[Chorus 2]
E B
Michael in the bathroom
C#m A9 E
Michael in the bathroom at a party
A9 B
I half regret the beers
E B
Michael in the bathroom
C#m A9 E
Michael in the bathroom at a party
A9 B
As I choke back the tears
A9 B
I'll wait as long as I need 'Til my face is dry
C#m F#7
Or I'll just blame it on weed or something in my eye
A9 B
I'm just Michael who you don't know
C#m F#7
Michael flyin' solo
C#m A9 E
Michael in the bathroom by himself
E A9 C#m A9 E A9 C#m A9
[Bridge]
A9 B
Knock, knock, knock, knock
A9 B
They're gonna start to shout soon
A9 B
Knock, knock, knock, knock
A9 B
Ah hell yeah I'll be out soon
Bb C
Knock, knock, knock, knock
Bb C
It sucks he left me here alone
Bb B
Knock, knock, knock, knock
Bb B
Here in this teenage battlezone
C D
Clang, clang, clang, clang
C D
I feel the pressure blowing up
C D
Bang, bang, bang, bang
C D
My big mistake was showing up
C# D#
Splash, splash, splash, splash
C#m
I throw some water in my face
F#7
And I am in a better place
A9
I go to open up the door
B
But I can't hear knocking
A9
Anymore
E A9 C#m A9 E A9 C#m A9
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Abm
And I can't help but yearn
B
For a different time
Abm
And then I look in the mirror and the present is clear
A B
And there's no denying I'm just
[Chorus 3]
E B
....
C#m A9 E
................. at a party
A9 B
Is there a sadder sight
E B
Mmmmmmm
C#m A9 B
Michael in the bathroom at a party
A9 B
This is a heinous night
A9 B
I wish I stayed at home instead watching cable porn
C#m F#7
Or wish I offed myself instead wish I was never born
A9 B
I'm just Michael who's a loner
C#m F#7
So he must be a stoner
A9 B
Rides a PT Cruiser
C#m F#7
God, he's such a loser
A9 B
Michael flying solo
C#m F#7
Who you think that you know
C#m A9 E
Michael in the bathroom by himself
E A9 C#m A9 E A9 C#m A9
All by himself
E A9 C#m A9 E A9 C#m A9
All by himself
A9 B
All you know about me is my name
A9 B E
Awesome party I'm so glad I came
E E E
