E                   B 
i am hanging in the bathroom 
       A             B      C#m 
at the biggest party of the fall 
        E                  B 
i could stay right here or disappear 
    A             B          E 
and nobody'd even notice at all  
E                  B 
i'm a creeper in a bathroom 
         A           B       C#m 
cause my buddy kinda left me alone 
        E                          B 
but i'd rather fake pee than stand awkwardly 
   A                  B          E 
or pretend to check a text on my phone
[Pre-Refrain]
Abm 
Everything felt fine 
                     B 
when i was half of a pair 
                Abm 
and through no fault of mine 
                      A          B 
there's no other half there
[Refrain]
              E             B 
Now I'm just Michael in the bathroom 
A              B             E 
Michael in the bathroom at a party 
            A       B 
Forget how long its been 
         E              B 
I'm just Michael in the bathroom 
A              B             C#m 
Michael in the bathroom at a party 
        A          B 
No, you can't come in 
    A                        B 
I'm waiting it out 'til it's time to leave 
    C#m                      F# 
and picking at grout while I softly grieve 
         E               B 
I'm just Michael who you don't know 
C#m            F# 
Michael flying solo 
A              B             E 
Michael in the bathroom by himself 
E    B    A    B    E    B    A    B 
All by himself

E                     B 
I am hiding, but he's out there 
        A             B     C#m 
Just ignoring all our history 
         E                    B 
Memories get erased and I'll get replaced 
        A             B         E 
With a newer, cooler version of me
[Pre-Refrain]
Abm 
And I hear a drunk girl 
                                      B 
Singing along to Whitney through the door (I wanna dance with somebody!) 
       Abm 
And my feelings sink cuz it makes me think 
            A                                 B 
Now there's no one to make fun of drunk girls with anymore
[Refrain]
             E             B 
Now its just Michael in the bathroom 
A              B             E 
Michael in the bathroom at a party 
          A       B 
I half regret the beers 
         E              B 
I'm just Michael in the bathroom 
A              B             C#m 
Michael in the bathroom at a party 
            A       B 
As I choke back the tears 
             A                     B 
I'll wait as long as I need til my face is dry 
             C#m                           F# 
Or I'll just blame it on weed or something in my eye 
         E               B 
I'm just Michael who you don't know 
C#m            F# 
Michael flying solo

E      E      E      E 
Knock, knock, knock, knock

F      F      F      F 
Knock, knock, knock, knock 
Bb           C 
Here in this teenage battlezone 
G      G      G      G 
Clang, clang, clang, clang 
C          D 
I feel the pressure blowing up 
G     G     G     G 
Bang, bang, bang, bang 
C          D 
My big mistake was showing up 
Ab      Ab      Ab      Ab 
Splash, splash, splash, splash 
C#           Eb          C#m 
I throw some water in my face 
                     F# 
And I am in a better place 
                    A 
I go to open up the door 
                      B 
But I can't hear knocking 
    E 
Anymore 
E    B    A    B    E    B    A    B
[Pre-Refrain]
            Abm 
And I can't help but yearn 
                B 
For a different time 
            Abm 
And then I look in the mirror and the present is clear 
            A          B 
And there's no denying I'm just

This is a heinous night 
         A                              B 
I wish I stayed at home in bed watching cable porn 
          C#m                             F# 
Or wish I offed myself instead wish I was never born 
         E               B 
I'm just Michael who's a loner 
   C#m          F# 
So he must be a stoner 
E               B 
Rides a PT Cruiser 
C#m          F# 
God he's such a loser
