C G A# G# G
[Verse 1]
CLet's paint a picture: you're in class
The Gteacher writes the notes too fast
And A#there's a boy who sits in back
Who's G#too afraid to Graise his hand
And Cask if she can slow it down
So Gnervously he looks around
Can't A#bare to stand out in the crowd
And he's G#only gotten Ghalf the notes now
The Cschool bell rings and he feels deflated
He Glooks at his hand, he should've raised it
His A#biggest fear, he should've faced it
And G#now he's lost inGside the pages
He Cmight be there but you'd never notice
Got a Glot to say but he's soft spoken
A#He's a book that just isn't open
A G#tiny ripple in a Gstormy ocean
[Bridge]
CGlassman, D#Mister Glassman

Mister Glassman
[Verse 2]
A Cfew years later, and now it's prom season
Mister GGlass isn't going, unless he has a reason
There's a A#cutie in his class that he likes a lot
But he's afG#raid to ask, because they've Gnever talked
CPlus if she says yes, what's he gonna do?
Doesn't Ghave a car, dude, he's screwed
He doesn't feel cool, he's A#too subdued, And he's scared to meet her parents too
G#Boohoo, just Ganother chance he blew
Cause theres Ctoo many things going on in his head
GAnd he's always in his head thinking too far ahead
A#Could've gone to prom, But instead he lays in bed
G#Thinkin' of  all the things that he Gleft unsaid till he's red
CSorry, Mister Glass, the world has a way
But Gnow I'm sure you've heard many people say:
"You A#miss every opportunity you don't take"
Don't G#be shy, kid, make Gyour own fate
[Bridge]
CGlassman, D#Mister Glassman
A#Glass...manGaug  
[Chorus]
Mister CGlassman!
He's Greally soft-spoken
You A#never notice glass unG#less its Gbroken
Mister CGlassman!
He's rGeally soft-spoken
You A#never notice glass unG#less its Gbroken
N.C.
Mister Glassman
[Verse 3]
Now CMister Glass is older, and he's doing just fine
Yeah, he Gmade it through high school, Even though he was shy
He's got a A#group of good friends, and his future is bright
And he G#still gets sad, but he's Ghappy with his life
ReCmember when he didn't ask the cutie to prom?
Well, now he's Ggot a couple kids, And they're calling her mom, man
And reA#member when he couldn't raise his hand in class?
Well now he's G#up on stage in front of Gfans, rappin' fast
But he Cstill gets scared and he still gets nervous
Cause you Ggotta fear the waves if you wanna go surfin'
A#Nothin' is for certain, Like does cursive have a purpose?
Was it G#worth it that you learned it?
Probably Gnot, I don't know, I digress
But the Cpoint i'm tryna stress. Is that we're all just made of Gglass
Even when we're at our best, We can break, we can spA#linter
Or disappear or lose our temper, Even if you think you're G#bulletproof
I am Gglass, and so are you
[Bridge]
CGlassman, D#Mister Glassman
A#Glass...manGaug  
[Chorus]
Mister CGlassman!
He's Greally soft-spoken
You A#never notice glass unG#less its Gbroken
Mister CGlassman!
He's rGeally soft-spoken
You A#never notice glass unG#less its Gbroken
[Outro]
Its Chard to get by when you're Gfeelin' so shy
You A#gotta keep on movin' just a G#step at a Gtime
Mister CGlassman
He's Greally soft-spoken!
You A#never notice glass unG#less its Gbroken! Mista'
CShooby doo wop
GShooby doo way
A#Shooby dooby dooby doo
G#Woppity Gwop

He's Greally soft-spoken!

C G A# G# G

[Verse 1]

Let's paint a picture: you're in class

The teacher writes the notes too fast

And there's a boy who sits in back

G# G

Who's too afraid to raise his hand

And ask if she can slow it down

So nervously he looks around

Can't bare to stand out in the crowd

G# G

And he's only gotten half the notes now

The school bell rings and he feels deflated

He looks at his hand, he should've raised it

His biggest fear, he should've faced it

G# G

And now he's lost inside the pages

He might be there but you'd never notice

Got a lot to say but he's soft spoken

He's a book that just isn't open

G# G

A tiny ripple in a stormy ocean

[Bridge]
