C      C/H            Am
Betty, I won’t make assumptions
        G                    F
about why you switched your homeroom
                           G
But I think it’s cause of me
C      C/H            Am
Betty, one time I was riding
        G                F
On my skateboard when I passed your house
                       G
It’s like I couldn’t breathe

C              C/H         Am
You heard the rumors from Inez
             G                F
You can’t believe a word she says most times
                      G
But this time it was true
    Am            G    C     F
The worst thing that I ever did
     Am     G      F G
was what I did to you

Chorus:
                C                C/H
But if I just showed up at your party
           Am                 G
Would you have me? Would you want me?
           F             Am
Would you tell me to go fuck myself
    G
Or lead me to the garden?
        C                C/H
In the garden would you trust me
      Am              G              F
If I told you it was just a summer thing?
          Am           G
I’m only seventeen, I don’t know anything
              C
But I know I miss you

Betty, I know where it all went wrong
Your favorite song was playing
From the far side of the gym
I was nowhere to be found
I hate the crowds, you know that
Plus, I saw you dance with him

You heard the rumors from Inez
You can't believe a word she says
Most times, but this time it was true
The worst thing that I ever did
Was what I did to you

Chorus

Am                      G
I was walking home on broken cobblestones
              F
Just thinking of you when she pulled up
        G
Like a figment of my worst intentions
Am                              G
She said, "James get in let’s drive." Those days
             F
turned into nights, slept next to her
   G                            C
But I dreamt of you all summer long

Betty, I'm here on your doorstep
And I planned it out for weeks now
But it's finally sinkin' in
Betty, right now is the last time
I can dream about what happens when
You see my face again

    Am     G      C       F
The only thing I want to do
   Am      G      F  G
Is make it up to you
       C                C/H Am G F C G
So I showed up at your party
          C               C/H  Am G F C G
Yeah, I showed up at your party

Chorus

G                 D      A G
Standing in your cardigan
G              D       A G
Kissing in my car again
G
Stopped at a streetlight
             D      D/F# G
you know, I miss you
