Verso 1:
G           D            C 
Twist my words around 
G           D            C 
Put them into all your little boxes 
G           D            C 
Your laughter brings me down 
G           D            C 
Oh you’re all so illogically logical 


D    C               G                   E 
I———don’t know what to do when I’m stuck in a room with you 
D          C 
I ———can’t talk to you 

G          D         C 

 Verso 2:
G             D            C 
Floating off the ground 
G             D            C 
I’ll bounce right out of all your little circles 
G             D            C 
Cause I can’t hang around 
G             D            C 
With anyone whose not expecting a miracle 


D    C               G             E 
I———don’t know what to do when I’m stuck in a room with you 
D          C 
I ———can’t talk to you 

G          D         C 
Ponte:

E                              C 
I wanted to let you in for so long 
G                             D 
I wanted you on my team 
E                                           C 
Lose or win but now that’s so far gone 
G                                                     D 
I gotta get back to doing my own thing 

Verso 3:
G              D            C 
Bouncing off the walls 
G                    D              C 
I’m bouncing because I know what love is 
G              D          C 
But as for all you all 
G                 D              C 
I wonder if you can make any sense of this 

 
D    C                 G                 E 
I———don’t know what to do when I’m stuck in a room with you 
D          C 
I ———can’t talk to you 
G           D          C
