Verse
[Eb]Betty won’t stop listening to modern rock
How [C]she hates to be [Bb]alone
[Eb]I try to compensate her lack of love with coffee cake
[C]Ice cream and a bottle of [Bb]ten dollar wine she says hey
[Eb]I rock the Haro sport, I rock the cow girl blues

[C]The future freaks me [Bb]out

[F]and now I think I’m [Bb]ready
to [Eb]bust a [Ab]move
Check it[F] out I’m rocking [Bb]steady
To the [Eb]beat in my [Ab]head
It goes [F]oh, [Bb]oh-oh-oh
I know that [Eb]she’s the [Ab]only [F]one
I’d rather [Gb]waste our time together
N.C.
Yeah, ‘cause we can get down
Instrumental
[Eb] [C] [Bb]
[Eb] [C]
Verse
[Eb]Betty can’t quit carving question marks in my wrist
[C]How come we’re so [Bb]alone
[Eb]We waste away the days with nicotine and television samples
[C]From an era we [Bb]hate to admit we embrace
[Eb]We fail to represent, we fail to be content
[C]We fail at everything we [Bb]ever even try to attempt
[Eb]And so the story goes as only Betty knows
[C]It’s time to take [Bb]control (Get Down)
Chorus

I’d rather [Gb]waste my time with her
Bridge
[Eb]Betty, I [Ab]need you
I [F]miss you
I’m [Bb]so alone
[Eb]without you
To [Ab]call up on the
[F]weekends with my
[Bb]cellular phone
[Eb]Betty it’s so hard to relate[Ab]
To the whole human race[F]
I don’t know where to begin[Bb]
I don’t know where to begin[Eb]
If we can both find a [Ab]way
To do the things that we [F]say
We might not sit in our [Bb]rooms
And drink our daydreams away
[Eb]Betty, I’m a dreamer
[Ab]I’m not a vicious schemer
Oh [Gb]Betty won’t you.. ah fuck it
Chorus

I know that [Eb]she’s the [Ab]only [F]one
I’d rather [Gb]waste our time together
N.C.
Yeah, ‘cause we can get down
