[Verse 1]
Am  C        Gadd11
You freak me out
   Fmaj7    Am
So I stay in
       C      Gadd11
Do you see me now?
       Fmaj7   Am
Do you have my pin?
      C          Gadd11
No, I don’t know how
            Fmaj7  Am
You’ll show up or when
       C          Gadd11
But it freaks me out
   Fmaj7
So I stay in

[Pre-Chorus]
         Am            C
You say “Boy I’m not a stalker
      Gadd11                Fmaj7
But I watch you when you’re walking
    Am                C
You call all kinds of people
          Gadd11
Who aren’t me
    Am              C
You love me in such weird ways
              Gadd11          Fmaj7
Like when you lead me back to your
place
        Am            C
And you do it without words
              Gadd11
But don’t you worry ‘cause
             Am   C     Gadd11
I heard everythi- i- i- ing."

[Chorus]
           F
Now you’re looking
            C
through the peephole
       Gadd11      Am
On the door of my apartment
   F              C
My panic’s at the ceiling
        Gadd11           Am
But I'm flat down on the carpet
         F                  C
You say “Boy, I know you’re in there
        Gadd11           Am
And the way you tease is unfair
    F               C
And this ain’t Misery
        Gadd11
But I’d break your knees
Gadd11                F  C  Gadd11
To keep you here with me
   Am                 F  C  Gadd11
To keep you here with me"

[Verse 2]
Am  C        Gadd11
You freak me out
   Fmaj7   Am
So I stay in
      C     Gadd11
Alone on my couch
         Fmaj7    Am
Watching Netflix again
              C        Gadd11
It’s like I’m watching You
     Fmaj7     Am
But it’s about me
         C
And just to be clear
  Gadd11
I mean the show, you’re Joe
