i was on my lunch break; i almost started crying / for the boy at the top of the bridge
F D# C# G# F G# D#
he didn't jump, but if he had, he wouldn't be the only one / who thought that he had to give in
G# C# A# C# G# C# A# C#
and you said you didn't have it all that bad / and i said i didn't have it all that bad
F D# C# G# F G# D#
but i snuck off to parking lots and playgrounds after dark / my parents' basement while they were
asleep
F D# C# G# F G# D#
i didn't talk with a lisp; i dressed like all the straight boys did / i didn't talk about who i had
kissed
F D# C# G# F G# D# (2x)
G# C# A# C# G# C# A# C#
and now you don't really have it all that bad / and now i don't really have it all that bad
F D# C# G# F G# C#
but i don't kiss you at the grocery store / and i don't kiss you at the library
F D# C# G# F G# C#
i don't kiss you at the rest stop off the interstate / and i don't kiss you at my parents'
D#
house when they are not asleep

i was on my lunch break; i almost started crying / ‘cause it really does get better if you wait
F D# C# G# F G# D#
and there are times now when i still feel afraid / but gone are the times when i feel ashamed
G# C# A# C# G# C# A# C#
and so for all the kids that really have it pretty bad / for all the kids that never had the chance
F D# C# G# F G# C#
maybe i should kiss you at the grocery store / and maybe i should kiss you at the library
F D# C# G# F G# C# D#
maybe i should kiss you at my parents' house / and maybe i should kiss you at the movies
F D# C# G# F G# C#
maybe i should kiss you when we go out to dinner / and maybe i should kiss you every night before i
F D# C# G# F G# C# D#
and maybe i should kiss you at the rest stop off the interstate on the border of georgia and tennessee
