G* C* Em* C*
I could have died, maybe I should have died when I saw you walk inside
G* C* Em*
C*
And as you shut the door, I put my eyes back on the floor, when all I really wanted was
look some more
A* C* G* C*
Does a wallflower play, or does a wallflower stay on his wall?
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/carolines_spine/wallflower_tab_ver_2.html ]
G* C* Em* C*
You see I live alone, but I've made my happy home, all my furniture is centered around
my phone
G* C* Em* C*
I'm waiting for the call, my imaginary friends and all, those who would never let me be
by the fall
A* C* G* C*
Does a wallflower know, when it's time he outgrow his wall?
A* C* E5 F#5 C5 A5

E5 F#5 C5 A5
Yeah his wall
E5 F#5 C5 A5 (play lead rythm fill over these 2 lines)
E5 F#5 C5 A5
E5 F#5 C5 A5
Time and time and time and time and only time has feeling for me
E5 F#5 C5 A5
Maybe, maybe father time will feel sorry for me
E5 F#5 C5 A5
I knew, I knew when there was a time, when I knew it all
E5 F#5 C5 A5 E5
Why don't I ever leave my wall? Why don't I ever leave my wall?
F#5 C5 A5 E5 F#5 C5 A5
Why don't I ever leave my wall? Please don't ever leave my wall, my wall

G* C*
You know that siren's getting louder and these people are starting to crowd in on me
Em* C*
All I smell and taste is garlic and gunpowder
G* C*
Cause I shot the bad guy dead, but he got me in the head
Em* C*
Oh with the girl of my dreams she's mentioning to me how much I've bleed
A* C* G* C*
Where do the wallflower go, when their flowers get pulled from this wall?
A* C* G*
Oh and though she says I'm brave and bold, she knows a flower cannot hold up a wall
C* Em D/F# C Asus
I can't hold up this wall any longer, any longer
Em D/F# C Asus
Cause all I have is time and time and time
