Verse
      A9     B      A9       B
I am hanging in the bathroom
       A9            B       C#m
At the biggest party of the fall
        A9         B        A9      B
I could stay right here or disappear
     A9            B
And nobody'd even notice at all
Instrumental
A9 B
A9 B
       A9     B    A9      B
I'm a creeper in a bathroom
          A9          B        C#m
'Cause my buddy kinda left me alone
        A9          B              A9       B
But I'd rather fake pee than stand awkwardly
       A9              B          E
Or pretend to check a text on my phone
Pre-Chorus
    G#m                                      B
Everything felt fine when I was half of a pair
                 G#m                                   A   B7
Now through no fault of mine, there's no other half there
Now I'm just
Chorus
E              B
Michael in the bathroom
C#m            A9              E
Michael in the bathroom, at a party
           C11        B
Forget how long it's been
          E              B
I'm just Michael in the bathroom
C#m            A9              G#m
Michael in the bathroom at a party
        C11         Badd9
No you can't come in!
    A                         B
I'm waiting it out 'til it's time to leave
     C#m                   F#7
And picking at grout as I softly grieve
          E               G#
I'm just Michael who you don't know
C#m             F#7
Michael flyin' solo
A9             B
Michael in the bathroom by himself
Instrumental
A9 B
A9 B
   All by himself

Verse
       A9   B          A9      B
I am hiding, but he's out there
        A9            B        C#m
Just ignoring all our history
          A9   B              A9     B
Memories get erased, and I'll get replaced
         A9           B         E
With a newer, cooler version of me
Pre-Chorus
      G#m                                                   B
And I hear a drunk girl sing along to Whitney through the door
I wanna dance with somebody!
       G#m
And my feelings sink, 'cause it makes me think:
            A                                 B7
Now there's no one to make fun of drunk girls with anymore!
Now it's just
Chorus
E              B
Michael in the bathroom
C#m            A9              E
Michael in the bathroom, at a party
         C11        B
I half regret the beers
          E              B
Michael in the bathroom
C#m            A9              G#m
Michael in the bathroom at a party
          C11        Badd9
As I choke back the tears
              A                       B
I'll wait as long as I need, until my face is dry
             C#m                           F#7
Or I'll just blame it on weed, or something in my eye!
          E               G#
I'm just Michael who you don't know
C#m             F#7
Michael flyin' solo
A9             B
Michael in the bathroom by himself
 
Bridge
A9            B
Knock, knock, knock, knock
A9            B
They're gonna start to shout soon
A9            B
Knock, knock, knock, knock
A9            B
Oh hell yeah, I'll be out soon
A#            C
Knock, knock, knock, knock
A#          C
It sucks he left me here alone-
A#            C
Knock, knock, knock, knock
A#           C
Here in this teenage battle zone-
C             D
Clang, clang, clang, clang
C           D
I feel the pressure blowing up-
C           D
Bang, bang, bang, bang
C          D
My big mistake was showing up-
C#              D#
Splash, splash, splash, splash
C#            D#
I throw some water in my face
C#m
And I am in a better place
F#7
I go to open up the door
A9               B
But I can't hear knocking
Anymore

A9 B
Pre-Chorus
            G#m
And I can't help but yearn
                   B
For a different time
                 G#m
And then I look in the mirror
And the present is clearer
            A           B7
And there's no denying, I'm just-
Instrumental
E  B
Chorus
C#m  A9  E
         At a party
            C11    B
Is there a sadder sight than-
E  B
*hums*
C#m            A9              G#m
Michael in the bathroom at a party
           C11     Badd9
This is a heinous night
          A                              B
I wish I stayed at home in bed watching cable porn
             C#m
Or wish I offed myself instead
            F#7
Wish I was never born!
          E               G#
I'm just Michael who's a loner
C#m             F#7
So he must be a stoner
E          G#
Rides a PT Cruiser
C#m             F#7
God he's such a loser
E              G#
Michael flyin' solo
C#m                F#7
Who you think that you know
A9             B
Michael in the bathroom by himself
Interlude
