Em                 A  
   I'm so bored, I wanna get in trouble 
Em                 G  
   Buried alive, Beneath my life's rubble 
Em                      A  
   I'll tell you what's really making me sad 
Em                     G  
   Your disinterest is driving me mad 
Em                 A  
   You're so fine 
Em             G  
   If you were mine I'd love you up 
Em           A  
   Give me a sign my darling 
Em             G  
   Well, I can shine, If you'd just let me know 


Em                A  
   What's a fella gotta do 
Em                             A  
   To spend a little time with you?     x2 

Em                 A  
   I'm so tired of feeling I could be more 
Em                   G  
   I need a purpose, What am I for? 
Em                A  
   What I'd like,   After close inspection 
Em               G  
   Is for you to look in my direction 
Em                 A  
   You're so fine 
Em             G  
   If you were mine I'd love you up 
Em           A  
   Give me a sign my darling 
Em             G  
   Well, I can shine, If you'd just give it up 


Chorus 

Em (let ring) 

Em                   A  
   I'm so bored, I'd welcome a disaster 
Em             G  
   Anything to make the heart beat faster 
Em                     A  
   But I got a feeling we could be so right 
Em                   G  (Mute) 
   Make my day, I'll make your night
