[Intro]
Abmaj7 G7 Cm7 Eb Eb7

[Verse 1]
Abmaj7
Been staring at you for days
G7
But you never seem to look my way
Cm7 Eb Eb7
My “I love you’s” in your alphabet soup seem to go to waste
Abmaj7
Been keeping myself at bay
G7
Now everything’s going pear-shaped

[Pre-Chorus]
Cm7
I guess boys with beating hearts
Eb Eb7
Beat a boy buried in the backyard
Abmaj7
Every time I try to make contact
G7
Feels like a supernatural attack
Cm7
Misinterpret then you react
Eb
I guess it’s back to the attic
Eb7
I’m so dramatic
Abmaj7
It’s so sad
G7 Cm7
But the last time that I let someone inside
Eb Eb7
I was buried alive

[Chorus]
Abmaj7
Hi
G7 Cm7
I’m your friendly neighborhood poltergeist
Eb Eb7
Nobody ever looks at me twice
Abmaj7
I’m used to being see-through
G7 Cm7
But it feels so bad when it happens with you
Eb Eb7
Wish you see me the way I see you

[Verse 2]
Abmaj7
I been spelling my name in your lego bricks
G7
I don’t know how to be more obvious
Cm7
You’re close enough to almost touch
Eb Eb7
But not close enough to hold
Abmaj7
Been tryna make my move
G7
But that dude keeps stealing you

[Chorus]
Abmaj7
Hi
G7 Cm7
I’m your friendly neighborhood poltergeist
Eb Eb7
Nobody ever looks at me twice
Abmaj7
I’m used to being see-through
G7
But it feels so bad when it happens with you
Cm7 Eb Eb7
Wish you see me the way I see you

[Bridge]
Abmaj7 G7
La-la-la la
Cm7 Eb Eb7
La-la-la la
Abmaj7 G7
La-la-la la
Cm7 Eb Eb7
La-la-la la

[Outro]
Abmaj7 G7
I don’t know why I tried
Cm7
When this was only ever gonna end
Eb Eb7
With my demise
Abmaj7 G7
I don’t wanna die twice
Cm7 Eb Eb7
It wasn’t very fun the first time
Abmaj7 G7
I don’t know why I try
Cm7 Eb Eb7
This rejection got me feeling cold as ice
Abmaj7 G7
I don’t wanna die twice
Cm7 Eb Eb7
It wasn’t very fun the first time
Abmaj7 G7 Cm7 Eb Eb7
I don’t know why I try
Abmaj7 G7
I don’t wanna die twice
Cm7 Eb
It wasn’t very fun the first time
