I always play the A as a bar chord because it sounds better and makes the bridge way
easier to do (just slide up and down the frets). And the G# at the end of each line in the
verses only gets one strum; it’ll make sense if you listen to the song. All bar chords
are F#m, G, G#, and A
Intro:
A D E A G#
Verse 1:
A D E A G#
I just became a member of a club known as the bumbling fools
A D E A G#
Botching the game and the best things in life is the motto and the rule
A D E A G#
So if you can open up your heart and hear me out just for tonight
A D
Baby I got something to prove to you
E A G#
I've gotta show you I can do it right
Chorus:
D E A G#
Get out, don't want to see you again
D E A G#
Maybe we can still be friends
D E A F#m
I know that I'm gonna go and screw it up in the end
D E
(once)
But that's okay cause I'm your average man
A D E A G#
Verse 2:
A D E A G#
So I turned tail and ran, and I know you're not my biggest fan
A
But whatever you want me to
D E A G#
You know that I'm gonna do it now or do the best that I can
A D E A G#
So if you can open up your heart and hear me out just one more time
A D
Baby I've got something to say to you
E A G#
I was wrong and the fault is mine
Chorus:
D E A G#
Get out, don't want to see you again
D E A G#
Maybe we can still be friends
D E A F#m
I know that I'm gonna go and screw it up in the end
D E
But that's okay cause I'm your average man
A D E A G#
Bridge:
A G# G G G# A
A G# G
Baby you could do a whole lot better
G G# A
But you could definitely do a whole lot worse
A G# G G G# A A
G# G
How can I even try to do better
E G A
If you won't give me a chance to be better first
C
'mon!!!
A D E A G#
Chorus:
D E A G#
Get out, don't want to see you again
D E A G#
Maybe we can still be friends
D E A F#m
I know that I'm gonna go and screw it up in the end
D E
But that's okay cause I'm your average man
Outro:
A D E A G#
At the very end:
