Chorus:
 D
He wasn't what
I wanted what
I thought no
 G
He wouldn't even
open up the door
 D
He never made me
feel like I was
         G
special He isn't
really what
               D C D
I'm looking for.

This is when I start
to bite my nails
And clean my room when
all else fails
I think it's time for me
to bail (Time to bail)
This point of view
is gettin' stale

I'll sit on my bed
alone (Bed alone)
Starin' at the phone
(At the phone)

Na na na na na
      G
we've all
      D
got choices
C  Em    D
Na na na na
      G
we've all
     D
got voices
C   Em    D
Na na na na na
      G
stand up make
      D
some noise
C  Em    D
Na na na na
      G
stand up make
      D
some noise

I'll sit on my bed alone
Starin' at the phone
