Key: AA | Capo: 0fr |  Left-Handed 

Intro : (finger picked) A  A \ C#  D   F#m9    E7   Bm   

Verse 1
             A                   D \ C            A
There's something I'd like to confess
          F#m7       A \ D          D \ C 
At the risk of exposing my faults
            Bm            A           F#m         A \ D
But I'm starting to find that most of the time
   D \ C                F#m         E     
I just don't like people at all

Verse 2
             A                   D \ C            A
When I saw you five minutes ago
          F#m                   A \ D          D \ C 
I was afraid you might talk off my ear
    Bm         A               F#m          A \ D
I panicked inside and decided to hide
        D \ C             E              A Asus4  A   G#m      
And that's how I ended up here
Chorus

F#m                           F#m \ F
Crouching behind the live lobster tank
 Asus2 \ D                                  Asus2 \ C# 
Hoping you'd just pass me by, oh...
 D \ C             E                F#m   A \ D
That's how I ended up here
 D \ C             E             A A \ C# D  F#m9 E7  Bm  
That's how I ended up here

Verse 3
A             D \ C              A
Oh how I wish I could say
          F#m7       A \ D          D \ C 
It's my first time to hide in this spot
            Bm            A           F#m         A \ D
But with all of the people I try to avoid
   D \ C                F#m         E     
I find myself down here a lot

Bridge
(stop time) * A                    D \ C            A     
I mean, just look at these guys in the tank
              F#m          A \ D                        D \ C  * (end stop time)
With the red rubber bands 'round their arms
           Bm             A               F#m               A \ D
If they don't open up and just keep to themselves
         D \ C         E          A Asus4  A   G#m      
They won't do anyone harm

Chorus

       F#m                                F#m \ F
So I screen my calls,   don't answer the door
         A \ D                                 Asus2 \ C# 
Sometimes wish I could disappear,
        D \ C               E                F#m   A \ D
oh...that's how I ended up here
         D \ C             E               
That's how I ended up ..

Instrumental
 A                          Bm         
Building a wall so no one could bother me
A \ C#                  D
Living my life in isolation
 A                           Bm
Opening up to only those close to me
A \ C#                            D    
Nobody's close to me, what have I done?

See, I really want to be known
           F#m7            A \ D               D \ C 
But I'm not quite as strong as the fear
                Bm             A             F#m        A \ D
That you won't understand the fool that I am
