Strum
D-DU-UDU
lookin at all the rows
all these records like big zero's
got your picture on the back of a 45'
a placeholder till you take up mine
a placeholder till you take up mine
i'm the person you'll never need
the biggest loser on 16th street
the invisable man with the see through mind
a placeholder till you take up mine
a placeholder till you take up mine
break off in someones laughter
you can tell right there
he's still a square
he likes the way that you look now
like an open book
(A LITTLE BREAK PART OR SOMETHING. IT'S THE SAME CHORDS AS THE CHORUS)
just like my favorite song
some pretty words that didn't last that long
like a package sent priority, overnight
placeholder can you take up mine
placeholder can you take up mine
placeholder come and take up mine
placeholder come and take up mine
