the strumming here changes when he starts singing "but when you leave..."
youll have to listen to the song for the exact strumming he employs
these chords continue throught the rest of the song
[unnecessary moaning]
Well your favourite holiday is the Fourth of July
It’s like 90 degrees, but reminds you exactly like Christmas
I had a one night stand, but I never kissed her on the bed
And all of my best friends say I’m fucked in the head
And I am calling my parents to say that I’m alive
And I’m apologising for ruining their lives
Well I don’t like working with my friends, I don’t like getting high
But I will do what it takes so I can survive
And I am nothing more than a picture
That is hanging in your room
[x2]
Well I’ve been telling my friends
That I’ve made lots of friends
And I am telling my girlfriend that I love her the same
[x3]
But don’t worry
Because I will grow up
And I will act like him so I don’t have to pretend like I care when you leave
And I will sell out and I will write my songs about a boy and girl who always get along
And I will drop out, and I will tell my friends that I have honors diplomas and I have scholarships
But I will grow up
And I will act like him so I don’t have to pretend like I care when you leave
But when you leave
[x2]
And you were walking down the aisles and I was sitting in the pews
And I was staring at the ceiling because I can’t stare at you
But you were walking down the aisles and I was sitting in the pews
And I was staring at the ceiling because I can’t stare at you
But you’re my best friend, so I will love you til the very, very, end
But you’re my best friend, so I will love you til the very, very, end
The very, very, end
