[Verse 1]
G  F       G      F
Cat got my tongue
            G
And I don't think
        F            G   F
I get along with anyone
G    F        G    F
Blood running cold
           G
I'm on the outside of
     F          G         F
the greatest inside joke
      G   F       G       F
And I hate all my clothes
              G
Feels like my skin doesn't
     F            G      F
 fit right over my bones
     G    F         G   F
So I guess I should go
            G
The party's done, and
        F              G
 I'm no fun, I know, I know
  F
I know, I know

[Chorus]
G          Em
 I broke a glass,
               Bm
I tripped and fell
          C                G
I told secrets I shouldn't tell
           Em          Bm
I stumbled over all my words
          C                G
I made it weird, I made it worse
     Em     Bm      C
Each time I step outside
G     Em     Bm N.C.  G Em Bm
 It's social suicide
            C
It's social suicide
G           Em         Bm
 Wanna curl up and die
            C
It's social suicide

Ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah

[Verse 2]
  G
I laughed at the wrong time,
   F
sat with the wrong guy (Uh-huh)
G
Sеarchin' "how to start
         F
 a conversation?"
on a website (How to flirt?)
  G
I talkеd to this hot guy,
 F
 swore I was his type
G
Guess that he was makin'
          F
out with boys, like
 the whole night (Oh)
G             F
 Everythin' I do is tragic (Oh)
G            F
 Every guy I like is gay (Oh)
G            F
 The morning after I panic (Oh)
G             F
 Oh God, what did I say?
 (Oh, oh, oh)
