Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
In  case you were wondering
 I can't get comfortable in my own  skin
 But it was bound  to happen
In  case you were wondering,
 I'm twenty three and avoiding the bar scene,
Lycra  pants, and designer  jeans.
In  case you were wondering,
 I'm staying in.
 I won't smell like cheap  perfume or cigarettes  tonight.
And  every word that I said got drowned  out
 by a dance  remix of a pop song  I don't care about.
In  case you forgot how bad  I've been down,
 just ask  around 'cause you know this  town loves to run its mouth.
Say,  say you'll stay in  with me today.
 Say, say you'll stay.
 'Cause you won't find me on the north Jersey  club scene
 With the Girls  Gone Wild B-team.
 I don't need  to pump  my fist to look  sweet.
In case  you were wondering,
 I promised myself that I would try to  be more social at parties.
Can  someone tell these kids liking  the rain no longer counts as an  idiosyncrasy.
In  fact, I think that Rupert  Holmes wrote a song about it in  the '70s.
And  consequently, he also  saved the Pina Colada industry
Say,  say, say, say you'll stay.
Say,  say, say, say you'll stay.
 VERSE III/OUTRO
I  can't believe I ended up here  again
 watching this terrible  band play songs I hate in the  basement.
I  can't believe that I got stuck  here again
 while the kid with  the dreads tells me he's smarter  on acid.
I  can't believe that I'm not finding  a way so just say.
