This pattern is used for all of the verses. Often on the second C#m7 they throw the
up to fret 7 for the last two strums.
A* C#m7 A* C#m7
A is for angry, which is what you are at me
A* C#m7 G* Bm7
A is for adult, which is what I'll never be
A* C#m7 A* C#m7
A is for applesauce, my favorite meal
A* C#m7 G* Bm7
A is for Adam, which is how I sometimes feel;
G* Bm7 E
Like I'm the only man on Earth, and I've forgotten what that's worth
A is for Arthur, he's a lovable drunk
A M & Azing, like Thelonius Monk
A is for argument, A is for apparent
A is for antagonism that's not even there and
it's just you begging for attention or something I won't even mention
CHORUS:
D E(7) A A7
And I don't even know why you keep on trying
D E(7) A A7
Like I don't even know why I keep on lying
D Bm G F#m
There are millions of people in worlds of their own
D A E
And two of them can't let go
A is for algebra, I learned it in school
A is what Fonzie said, 'cause he was very cool
A is for adversary, A is for affection
A's for arousal, you are giving me an erection
C'mon I'm trying to show affection for longer than a half an hour
[Chorus]
BRIDGE:
(I'm not totally sure on this part, but it's the best I could do)
Gm F Dm Gm Cm Bb Gm Cm Dm
Gm F
I met a woman I used to know
Dm Gm
Long before you, long ago
Cm Bb
All I could say, after hello
Gm Cm Dm
Was "are you still single?"
A is for attitude I can't help but wield
A is for arrogance; emotional shield
A is for acting, A is for abhorrently
A is for asshole, which is what I am, how rude of me.
I owe you an apology I'm sorry
[Chorus]
Then it repeats the intro riff for a while.
