E B
i am hanging in the bathroom
A B C#m
at the biggest party of the fall
E B
i could stay right here or disappear
A B E
and nobody'd even notice at all
E B
i'm a creeper in a bathroom
A B C#m
cause my buddy kinda left me alone
E B
but i'd rather fake pee than stand awkwardly
A B E
or 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
[Chorus 1]
E B
Now I'm just Michael in the bathroom
A B E
Michael in the bathroom at a party
A B
Forget how long its been
E B
I'm just Michael in the bathroom
A B C#m
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#
and picking at grout while I softly grieve
E B
I'm just Michael who you don't know
C#m F#
Michael flying solo
A B E
Michael in the bathroom by himself
E B A B E B A B
All by himself
[Verse 2]
E B
I am hiding, but he's out there
A B C#m
Just ignoring all our history
E B
Memories get erased and I'll get replaced
A B E
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 cuz it makes me think
A B
Now there's no one to make fun of drunk girls with anymore
[Chorus 2]
E B
Now its just Michael in the bathroom
A B E
Michael in the bathroom at a party
A B
I half regret the beers
E B
I'm just Michael in the bathroom
A B C#m
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 til my face is dry
C#m F#
Or I'll just blame it on weed or something in my eye
E B
I'm just Michael who you don't know
C#m F#
Michael flying solo
A B E
Michael in the bathroom by himself
E B A B E B A B
[Bridge]
E E E E
Knock, knock, knock, knock
A B
They're gonna start to shout soon
E E E E
Knock, knock, knock, knock
A B
Ah hell yeah I'll be out soon
F F F F
Knock, knock, knock, knock
Bb C
It sucks he left me here alone
F F F F
Knock, knock, knock, knock
Bb C
Here in this teenage battlezone
G G G G
Clang, clang, clang, clang
C D
I feel the pressure blowing up
G G G G
Bang, bang, bang, bang
C D
My big mistake was showing up
Ab Ab Ab Ab
Splash, splash, splash, splash
C# Eb 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
E
Anymore
E B A B E B A B
[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 2]
E B
......
A B E
........................At a party
A B
Is there a sadder sight
E B
{humming}
A B C#m
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 F#
Or wish I offed myself instead wish I was never born
E B
I'm just Michael who's a loner
C#m F#
So he must be a stoner
E B
Rides a PT Cruiser
C#m F#
God he's such a loser
E B
Michael flying solo
C#m F#
Who you think that you know
A B E
Michael in the bathroom by himself
E B A B E B A B
All by himself
E B A B E B A B
All by himself
E B C#m F#
All you know about me is my name
A B
Awesome party I'm so glad I came
E E E
