Verse 1
D Em (7th fret sounds better)
As one sits and waits for something to happen
A D
I too, sat and waited for you to call
Em
Well I waited too long and I thought, "Hey maybe I should call you."
A D
But by then you had already gone.
Chorus
A D
Oh, oh it's Friday night, I wanted to go out, I didn't want to go to no show.
A D
Didn't wanna cruise main street, I didn't wanna go to no disco no no
G A D G
I just wanted you to come over, sit on my couch and hold me tight,
A D
But you went out with some dumb jock and left me alone with my skateboard
tonight
D Em A D
Verse 2
Now I'm out with my skateboard and pushin so hard, I'm pushin so hard.
I wanna see if I can see if you're still home
But the lights weren't on and you were gone
So on my way home alone I took a shortcut through the park
And just my luck, I saw you sitting in his truck
You were making out with him in the dark, whoa whoa
Chorus

"Why'd you go and change your mind

But with him you're gonna lose
Every ti-ti-ti-ti-time
