Tone: [D]
Verse 1:
i [Bm]hope this doesn't freak you out
but i thought i'd just say [G]'hey'
i [D]know we've barely spoken out of school
but it seems i've grown [A]attached
to the thought of you
and to tell the [Bm]truth
Chorus 1:
i use humour to m[G]mask my insecurities
[D]so i try to be funny quite a [A]bit
[Bm]and look at me now
stumbling [G]over a joke you've probably heard befor[D]before
'cause all i'm paying
attention [A]to is the way you look at him
so [Bm]across the room and clear my head
[G]wishing it was me instead who[D]who
always keeps you [A]interested
[Bm]i close my eyes and count to [G]ten
i need to [D]stop overthinking it [A]
Verse 2:
[Bm]i might not be [G]everything you ask for
i [D]know that [A]
and [Bm]you might take a look at me and [G]say
[D]'is this the kind of guy who
chases after me these [A]days?'
Chorus 2:
[Bm]guys who use humour to [G]mask their insecurities
[D]well i try to be funny quite a [A]lot
[Bm]and look at me now
stumbling [G]over myself at a party i wasn't invited [D]to
[A]drink in my hand trying to find a spot to sleep
and i see [Bm]you
you with him
i start to [G]drift off
nothing left but me and my [D]thoughts
does she even know [A]that i exist?
[Bm]i close my eyes and count to [G]ten
i need to [D]stop over thinking [A]this
Verse 3:
i would [Bm]ask you to take me as i am[G]am
but it won't do any good[D]good
because [A]what you see isn't who i am
i would show you if i could
[Bm]i change the way i speak
and how i act
and what i [G]say
'cause i'm [D]afraid you won't like me any other wa[A]way
Chorus 3:
[Bm]i use humour to [G]mask my insecurities
so [D]i try yo be funny all the time[A]time
[Bm]and look at me now
stumbling [G]over the words of a song i wrote for you[D]you
a song you'll probably never hea[A]hear
because i'm too ashamed
[Bm]too afraid
what kind of [G]person writes a song
about a g[D]girl he's barely spoken to[A]to
[Bm]i close my eyes and count to [G]ten
i need to stop over[D]overthinking you
