Intro A#, Gm, Cm, D#          (chorus are all the same) (verses are the same)

Verse 1                      

A#
Finally
                  Gm  
I'm letting go of all my downer thoughts
                       Cm 
In no time there'll be one less sad robot
              F 
Looking for a chance to be something more than just metal
A#
Now I'm going part time
       Gm 
With a film projectionist
              Cm
And she's the vinyl queen

From my surfer dream
              F
She likes the beach boys more than radio metal
D#
And she's so good
     Cm                F  
But, she's no good for me

Chorus

        A#      F 
Miss Delaney
           Gm     D#
What's the matter?
                  A#
You waited by the window
                   F  
(You waited by the window)
                Gm     D#
I waited by the door

        A#   F  
Miss Delaney
               Gm       D#
Where's your boyfriend?
               A#
He isn't up in heaven
       F                  Gm     D#
So why treat him like he's dead?

Verse 2

It's not that everyday
Everyday is coming up with the green grass
But the time's passed
When I think of you 
Whenever I'm at dinner

Finally
I've found someone to dull this lovely scene
I don't spend my nights searching 
For earthquakes
It's biblical how fucked my sleep can be
But she won't sleep with me

Chorus

Miss Delaney
What's the matter?
You waited by the window
(You waited by the window)
I waited by the door
Miss Delaney
Where's your boyfriend?
He isn't up in heaven
So why treat him like he's dead?
(continue to play chorus as "dead" is repeated)

Breakdown

F             F#m      
From here you can't find everything
Gm
Arin, I
      Cm           F 
Would never lie to you

Chorus

Miss Delaney (Miss Delaney)
Whatcha sad for?
You waited by the window
And I was kicking down your door
Miss Delaney
Where's your boyfriend? 
(Where's your boyfriend)
He isn't up in heaven
So why treat him like he's dead?
