[Opening]
[C] [Am] [G] [F] [G]
[C]Betty, I won’t make as[Am]sumptions
About [G]why you switched your [F]homeroom
But I think it’s cause of [G]me
[C]Betty, one time I was [Am]riding
on my [G]skateboard when I [F]passed your house
It’s like I couldn’t [G]breathe

[chorus]
[C]You heard the rumors from [Am]Inez
You can’t be[G]lieve a word she [F]says most times
But this time it was [G]true
The [Am]worst thing [G]that I [C]ever [F]did
was [Am]what I [G]did to [F]you [G]

[chorus]
But if I just [C]showed up at your party
Would you [Am]have me? Would you [G]want me?
Would you [F]tell me to go [Am]fuck myself
Or [G]lead me to the garden?
In the [C]garden would you trust me
If I [Am]told you it was [G]just a summer [F]thing?
I’m only [Am]seventeen, I [G]don’t know anything
But I know I miss [C]you

[section 2]
[C] [Am] [G] [F] [G]
[C]Betty, I know where it [Am]all went wrong
Your [G]favorite song was [F]playing
from the far side of the [G]gym
[C]I was nowhere to be [Am]found
I hate the [G]crowds you know that
[F]Plus I saw you dance with [G]him

[chorus]
[C]You heard the rumors from [Am]Inez
You can’t be[G]lieve a word she [F]says most times
But this time it was [G]true
The [Am]worst thing [G]that I [C]ever [F]did
was [Am]what I [G]did to [F]you [G]

[chorus]
But if I just [C]showed up at your party
Would you [Am]have me? Would you [G]want me?
Would you [F]tell me to go [Am]fuck myself
Or [G]lead me to the garden?
In the [C]garden would you trust me
If I [Am]told you it was [G]just a summer [F]thing?
I’m only [Am]seventeen, I [G]don’t know anything
But I know I miss [C]you

[section 3]
[C] [Am] [G] [F] [G]
[Am]I was walking home on [G]broken cobblestones
Just thinking [F]of you when she pulled up
Like a [G]figment of my worst intentions
[Am]She said, “James get in let’s [G]drive.” Those days
Turned into [F]nights, slept next to her
But [G]I dreamt of you all summer [C]long

[section 4]
[C] [Am] [G] [F] [G] [Am] [G] [F] [Fm]
[C]Betty, I’m here on your [Am]doorstep
And I [G]planned it out for [F]weeks now
But it’s finally sinking [G]in
[C]Betty, right now is the [Am]last time
I can [G]dream about what [F]happens when
You see my face [G]again
The [Am]only [G]thing I [C]want to [F]do
Is [Am]make it [G]up to [F]you [G]
So I [C]showed up at your party [Am] [G] [F] [Em] [G]
Yeah, [C]I showed up at your party [Am] [G] [F] [Em] [G]

[section 5]
Yeah, I [D]showed up at your party
Will you [Bm]have me will you [A]love me
Will you [G]kiss me on the [D]porch
In front of [Em]all your stupid [A]friends?
If you [D]kiss me, will it be
Just like I [Bm]dreamed it
Will it [A]patch your broken [G]wings
I’m only [D]seventeen, I [Em]don’t know any[A]thing
But I know I [D]miss you [A] [G]

[Closing]
[G]Standing in your [D]cardigan [A] [G]
[G]Kissing in my [D]car again [A] [G]
[G]Stopped at a streetlight
You know, I [D]miss you [G]
