["Guest List"]

[ B / G# / E ] x3 (with lead A)

[ B / G# / E ] (different rhytmn) x4 (with lead A)

[Verse]:
B               G# E
  I was hanging at the show
B                G#    E
  Feeling like a fat potato
B              G#       E     F#
  I don't know what I'm doing here
B           G#     E
  I saw her at the door
B         G#        E
  And she looked as bored
B       G#   E       F#
  As me so I got her in

[Chorus]:
G#                  F#                E
   I put her on the guest list at the show
    F#                     G#             F#            E
And now I get to watch her dance like the other weirdos do

[ B / G# / E ] x2 (with lead A)

[Verse]:
I saw she brought a camera
She did the groin-o-rama
And we were really having fun
I told her I was the singer
I felt like Harvey Klinger
And then she smacked me in the head

[Repeat Chorus]

[ B / G# / E ] x4 (with lead B)

[Repeat Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus to end] (with lead C)
