Michael In The Bathroom chords by Joe Iconis

Verse 1:

MICHAEL:
   A    B   A    B   A       B    C#m
I am hanging in the bathroom at the biggest party of the fall
    A     B    A     B  A       B     E
I could stay right here or disappear, and nobody'd even notice at all
(alternate A B until next verse)
   A    B  A   B      A      B    C#m
I'm a creeper in a bathroom 'cause my buddy kinda left me alone
    A      B       A   B   A         B     E
But I'd rather fake pee than stand awkwardly, or pretend to check a text on my phone
G#m                    B    C#m B
Everything felt fine when I was half of a pair
        G#m               A  B
Now through no fault of mine, there's no other half there

Chorus:
       E       B     C#m      A       E
Now I'm just Michael in the bathroom, Michael in the bathroom, at a party
      A     B
Forget how long it's been
     E       B     C#m       A      G#m
I'm just Michael in the bathroom, Michael in the bathroom at a party
    A   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
     G#m       G#     C#m      F#  A       B
I'm just Michael who you don't know, Michael flyin' solo, Michael in the bathroom

A B A B
by himself
A B A B
Oh, by himself

Verse 2:

   A    B    A     B  A    B    C#m
I am hiding, but he's out there, just ignoring all our history
     A  B        A    B      A       B     E
Memories get erased, and I'll get replaced, with a newer, cooler version of me
   G#m               B
And I hear a drunk girl sing along to Whitney through the door - I wanna dance with somebody!
    G#m                         A                 B
And my feelings sink, 'cause it makes me think: now there's no one to make fun of drunk girls with anymore!

Chorus:
       E       B     C#m      A       E
Now it's just Michael in the bathroom, Michael in the bathroom at a party
    A     B
I half regret the beers
E       B     C#m      A       G#m
Michael in the bathroom, Michael in the bathroom at a party
      A    B
As I choke back the tears
       A            B
I'll wait as long as I need, until my face is dry
       C#m         F#7
Or I'll just blame it on weed, or something in my eye!
     G#m       G#     C#m      F#
I'm just Michael who you don't know, Michael flyin' solo
A       B      A B A B
Michael in the bathroom by himself!

Bridge:

A       B
Knock, knock, knock, knock
A       B
They're gonna start to shout soon
A       B
Knock, knock, knock, knock
A       B
Oh hell yeah, I'll be out soon

MICHAEL + ENSEMBLE:
Bb      C
Knock, knock, knock, knock

MICHAEL:
Bb      C
It sucks you left me here alone-

MICHAEL + ENSEMBLE:
Bb      C
Knock, knock, knock, knock

MICHAEL:
Bb      C
Here in this teenage battle zone-

MICHAEL + ENSEMBLE:
C       D
Clang, clang, clang, clang

MICHAEL:
C       D
I feel the pressure blowing up-

MICHAEL + ENSEMBLE:
C      D
Bang, bang, bang, bang

MICHAEL:
C      D
My big mistake was showing up-

MICHAEL + ENSEMBLE:
C#      D#
Splash, splash, splash, splash

MICHAEL:
C#      D#       C#m
I throw some water in my face
             F#
And I am in a better place
            A
I go to open up the door
         B
But I can't hear knocking
Anymore

A B A B A B A B

Pre-Chorus:

G#m
And I can't help but yearn
        B C#m B
For a different time
      G#m
And then I look in the mirror
    G#m
And the present is clearer
      A      B
And there's no denying, I'm just-

Chorus:

E B C#m A

   E
At a party
      A   B
Is there a sadder sight than-
E B
*hums*
C#m      A       E
Michael in the bathroom at a party
     A    B
This is a heinous night
     A               B
I wish I stayed at home in bed watching cable porn
     C#m
Or wish I offed myself instead
      F#7
Wish I was never born!
     G#m       G#
I'm just Michael who's a loner
  C#m     F#
So he must be a stoner
G#m    G#
Rides a PT Cruiser
C#m       F#
God he's such a loser
G#m      G#
Michael flyin' solo
C#m      F#
Who you think that you know
A       B      A B A B
Michael in the bathroom by himself
    A B A B
Oh, by himself
    A B A B
Oh, by himself
A      B    A   B
All you know about me is my name
A
Awesome party
B
I'm so glad I came
