Intro |E/A Amaj7|E/A Amaj7|
Verse 1
E/A Em
All alone by the table of food
D G D
in my wrinkled suit and my borrowed tie
E/A Em
Only thinking of something to say
D G D
in the moment after the girl goes by
G G/F G/E G/Eb
Everyone else is having fun or else pretending to
G G/F G/E G/Eb
I eat another crudite
Chorus
Cadd9 G/B
I quit, I'm done
Asus4 D
'cause I don't think it's gonna turn out OK
Cadd9 G/B
It's no fair and it's no fun
Asus4 D
If every time it's gonna end the same way:
C#m7b5 Cm G
Me: zero, Big bad world: one
Verse 2
E/A Em
At the office we're all having cake
D G D
'cause it's someone's birthday I don't know who
E/A Em
Get my plate and I'm scanning the room
D G D
and the only seat is right next to you
G G/F G/E G/Eb
I get the nod, the tiny smile that doesn't come with teeth
G G/F G/E G/Eb
Maybe you don't know who I am
Chorus
Cadd9 G/B
I quit, I'm done
Asus4 D
'cause I don't think it's gonna turn out OK
Cadd9 G/B
It's no fair and it's no fun
Asus4 D
If every time it's gonna end the same way:
C#m7b5 Cm G
Me: zero, Big bad world: one
Bridge
C G
Staying in-side lying in bed
Am Em
Noticing something that's not there
C G
Follow my heart, follow my head
Bb C(alt) E/A
I'll follow anything that might get me somewhere
Re-Intro: |E/A Amaj7|E/A Amaj7|
Verse 3
E/A Em
Catch her eye when she's pouring my coffee
D G D
and search my head for an opening line
E/A Em
But I see by the look on her face
D G D
if I keep my mouth shut I'll save some time
G G/F G/E G/Eb
What if the best that I can be just isn't good enough?
G G/F G/E G/Eb
Isn't it better not to know?
Chorus
Cadd9 G/B
I quit, I'm done
Asus4 D
'cause I don't think it's gonna turn out OK
Cadd9 G/B
It's no fair and it's no fun
Asus4 D
If every time it's gonna end the same way:
C#m7b5 Cm
Me: zero, Big bad world: one
