Mister Glassman

C G A# G# G

[Verse 1]
C
Let's paint a picture: you're in 
class
    G
The teacher writes the notes too 
fast
    A#
And there's a boy who sits in back
      G#            G
Who's too afraid to raise his hand
    C
And ask if she can slow it down
   G
So nervously he looks around
      A#
Can't bare to stand out in the crowd
         G#          G
And he's only gotten half the notes 
now
    C
The school bell rings and he feels 
deflated
   G
He looks at his hand, he should've 
raised it
    A#
His biggest fear, he should've faced
 it
    G#              G
And now he's lost inside the pages
   C
He might be there but you'd never 
notice
      G
Got a lot to say but he's soft 
spoken
A#
He's a book that just isn't open
  G#               G
A tiny ripple in a stormy ocean

[Bridge]
C         D#
Glassman, Mister Glassman
A#          Gaug
Glass...man

[Chorus]
       C
Mister Glassman!
     G
He's really soft-spoken
    A#                   G#       
You never notice glass unless its 
G
broken
       C
Mister Glassman!
      G
He's really soft-spoken
    A#                   G#       
You never notice glass unless its 
G
broken

[Verse 2]
  C
A few years later, and now it's prom
 season
       G
Mister Glass isn't going, unless he 
has a reason
          A#
There's a cutie in his class that he
 likes a lot
           G#                  
But he's afraid to ask, because 
         G
they've never talked
Continues after the ad
C
Plus if she says yes, what's he 
gonna do?
        G
Doesn't have a car, dude, he's 
screwed
                           A#
He doesn't feel cool, he's too 
subdued, And he's scared to meet her
 parents too
G#           G
Boohoo, just another chance he blew
             C
Cause theres too many things going 
on in his head
G
And he's always in his head thinking
 too far ahead
A#
Could've gone to prom, But instead 
he lays in bed
G#                                
Thinkin' of  all the things that 
  G
he left unsaid till he's red
C
Sorry, Mister Glass, the world has a
 way
    G
But now I'm sure you've heard many 
people say:
     A#
"You miss every opportunity you 
don't take"
      G#               G
Don't be shy, kid, make your own 
fate

Glass...man

[Chorus]
       C
Mister Glassman!
     G
He's really soft-spoken
    A#                   G#       
You never notice glass unless its 
G
broken
       C
Mister Glassman!
      G
He's really soft-spoken
    A#                   G#       
You never notice glass unless its 
G
broken

[Verse 3]
    C
Now Mister Glass is older, and he's 
doing just fine
         G
Yeah, he made it through high 
school, Even though he was shy
           A#
He's got a group of good friends, 
and his future is bright
       G#                      
And he still gets sad, but he's 
 G
happy with his life
  C
Remember when he didn't ask the 
cutie to prom?
               G
Well, now he's got a couple kids, 
And they're calling her mom, man
      A#
And remember when he couldn't raise 
his hand in class?
              G#                   
Well now he's up on stage in front 
   G
of fans, rappin' fast
       C
But he still gets scared and he 
still gets nervous
          G
Cause you gotta fear the waves if 
you wanna go surfin'
A#
Nothin' is for certain, Like does 
cursive have a purpose?
       G#
Was it worth it that you learned it?
         G
Probably not, I don't know, I 
digress
        C                          
But the point i'm tryna stress. Is 
                            G
that we're all just made of glass
Even when we're at our best, We can 
                A#
break, we can splinter
Or disappear or lose our temper, 
                         G#
Even if you think you're bulletproof
     G
I am glass, and so are you

    C                         
Its hard to get by when you're 
 G
feelin' so shy
    A#                          G#
You gotta keep on movin' just a 
        G
step at a time
