[Verse 1]
C                  Am
James did you ever wonder,
      G                   F
Why I switched out of our homeroom?
                         G
It was all because of you.
C                       AM
James was it really just
  G                  F
A summer thing or was
              G
That a lie too?

[Pre-Chorus]
C                         Am
I heard the rumors from Inez
       G                   F
Can't believe a word she says
                                     G
Most times, but this time was it true?
    Am          G      C    F
The worst thing that I ever did
    Am     G       F   G
Was when I trusted you

[Chorus]
              C
How could you show up at my party
   Am               G
Uninvited, saying sorry
         F                   Am
I don't care, it doesn't change
a thing
    G
You made that decision for me
              C
When you were with her was it
      Am
everything you dreamed of?
       G                F
Was it worth destroying me?
           Am              G
James your seventeen, you knew
what you were doing
             C
I don't need you

C              C               Am
James, I think I know where it all
went wrong
    G                F
My favorite song was playing
                         G
From the far side of the gym
C           Am
I couldn't find you
          G
I looked everywhere
   F                  G
So I just danced with him

[Bridge]
Am          G
I should've known
                     F
You weren't thinking of me
when she pulled up like
  G
A figment of your worst intentions
Am                        G
Did she force you in, or did
you just comply
F
Slept next to her, and
       G                      C
Didn't think of me all summer long

[Verse 3]
C                        Am
James, you're here on my doorstep
       G                  F
And we haven't talked for weeks now
                          G
But it's finally sinking in
C                Am
I didn't think about
G           F
What I'd say when
                G
I see your face again

[Pre-Chorus]
    Am    G      C      F
The only thing I wanna do
    Am   G     F   G
Is just ignore you
        C
But you showed up
           Am G F Em G
at my party
      C
Yeah, you showed up
            Am G F Em G
at my party

[Chorus]
         D
When you showed up at my party
   Bm                 A
My heart, it started racing
   G                  D
I forgot what it was like
    Em                   A
To see you with all your friends
       D
If you kiss me, will it be just
      Bm
like the first time?
           A             G
Will it be so breathtaking?
            D
We're only seventeen,
   Em          A
we don't know anything
             D        A G
But I know I miss you

[Outro]
               D       A G
Standing in my cardigan
                D         A G
Kissin' in your car again
G
Stopped at a streetlight
           D        G
You know I miss you
