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
