G#
Careful as I write her name
D#/G
On the corner of the page
Fm                        C#
Make it look like it was her, all along
     G#
And I put the paper in my bag
D#/G
As I'm walking back to class
Fm
And the notes I wrote
      C#
That took me so long
Cm
She doesn't notice me
           C#
She just smiles and says
                  Cm
"Thank you for the trigonometry"
              C#
'Cause that's all it meant to her

Chorus:
C#
But I spent
Fm          C#
22 days and 21 nights
  G#                    D#
Crossing every T, just making it right
Fm         C#              G#
Only to discover it's not worth
      D#
Doing Annabelle's homework
 Fm                     C#
Doesn't matter how many papers I write
G#                         D#
End of the equation won't be you and I
    Fm            C#              G#
And now I'm just another who got hurt
      D#
Doing Annabelle's homework
Fm       C#
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
G#       D#
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Fm       C#
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
G#    D#
Doing Annabelle's homework

Careful as I walk away
So she can't see it on my face
How I look and now I'm feeling so bad
I'm disappointed in myself
'Cause I know love's not for sale
Oh, my mother raised me better than that
She doesn't notice me
She just smiles and says
"Thank you for the geography"
'Cause that's all it meant to her

Chorus

Fm                    C#
I'm alive, you don't know I'm here
      G#                       D#
Just circling around in your atmosphere, yeah
Fm                    C#
I'm alive, you don't know I'm here
     G#                     D#
Just circling around, just circling

Chorus:
22 days and 21 nights
Crossing every T, just making it right
Only to discover it's not worth
Doing Annabelle's homework
Doesn't matter how many papers I write
End of the equation won't be you and I
And now I'm just another who got hurt
Doing Annabelle's homework
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
And now I'm just another who got hurt
Doing Annabelle's homework
