[Verse]
F#                              Ab
Early to the party, you’re the first one there
D#m                       Ab
Overdressed and under prepared
F#                                 Ab
Standing in the kitchen, stressing out the host
D#m                         Ab      D#m  D
Pulling teeth ’til anyone arrives

Excuse yourself and smoke a cigarette outside
D#m                                     Ab
There’s three new faces coming up the drive
F#                                  Ab
Exhale nervous greetings as they shuffle past
D#m                       Ab        D#m   D
Can’t he ever show up on time

Bird on the wall

Catcher calling all the shots
          B                   D#m
Catcher tying you in knots
               F5*
Won’t let you leave

[Verse]
F#
What happened to manners? 
                   Ab
I guess he’s had a few
D#m                                   Ab
He’s talking shit, he never thinks of you
F#                                           Ab
So bite your lip and watch him walk off with his friends
D#m                         Ab    D#m  D
Leaving you all alone once again

Catcher calling all the shots  x3
          B             D#m
Catcher tying you in knots
                  Ab     
Never lets you leave
