[Opening]
[E] [E7] [A] [Am]
[E]Life isn’t quite what I thought I’d be
When [G#]I was a kid on VOIP
I [C#m]thought when I get older
I’d [A]marry her, I [Am]told her
[E]Now I’m 26 and I work in an office
[G#]9 til 5’s not the best, I’ll be honest
[C#m]If I could change a single thing
[A]I’d make it [Am]me and not him [F#m]

[chorus]
But [A]he’s in your bed, [Am]I’m in your Twitch Chat [E]
[A]I’ve got the key and [Am]he’s just a doormat [E]
And [A]even though he’s got [Am]social skills
That [E]doesn’t mean I can’t [E7]pay the bills
[A]Anyway, make the [Am]most of him,
Cause [E]she moves on pretty [G#]bloody quick, [A]oh oh[Am]
[F#m]Your new boyfriend’s an [F#m]arsehole, Woo!

[verse 2]
[E] [G#] [C#m] [A] [Am]
[E]Yeah, I’ve met Jared, of course I’ve met Jared
The [G#]one that took you away from me
[C#m]You hit it off instantly
I [A]know, cause you won’t stop [Am]telling me
I’ve [E]seen his jawline, shoulders and muscles
[G#]Push against his fashion sense
I’ve [C#m]thought about what he looks like nude
[A](I’m not gay though) [Am]

[verse 3]
[E]
Cause [E]she’s living the dream [G#]
Oh, [C#m]she’s living the dream
From [A]back when we were [Am]seventeen
[E]She’s living the dream [G#]

[verse 4]
Oh, [C#m]she’s living the dream
From [A]back when we were [Am]seventeen
[E]How on earth can I be saved?
When I’m one click away from insane

[verse 5]
[C#m]I just think that I deserve
A [A]little bit of what [Am]I earned
I’m [E]not gonna make another scene
The [G#]one I made when I was 23
Means I’m [C#m]not allowed in Disney World [A] [Am] [F#m]

[chorus]
But [A]he’s in your bed, [Am]I’m in your Twitch Chat [E]
[A]I’ve got the key and [Am]he’s just a doormat [E]
And [A]even though he’s got [Am]social skills
That [E]doesn’t mean I can’t [E7]pay the bills
[A]Anyway, make the [Am]most of him,
Cause [E]she moves on pretty [G#]bloody quick, [A]oh oh[Am]
[F#m]Your new boyfriend’s an [F#m]arsehole,

[Closing]
[E] [G#] [C#m] [A] [Am]
I [E]think about you everyday [G#]
So [C#m]how on earth can I be [A]saved [Am]
I [E]think about him a lot as [G#]well
[C#m]Maybe if he wasn’t fine as [A]hell [Am]
Cause you’re [E]beauty
And you’re [G#]grace
Your [C#m]telephone calls are my [A]favourite [Am]place
[E]I want you to [G#]notice me
[C#m]With no restraining [A]order [Am]please (Jason De[E]rulo!)
I want you to [G#]care
