Verse 1
Dadd4 
I'll make
Cmaj7 
A twenty   dollar bet
Em 
Adam won't get
G 
His lunchbox back
Dadd4 
I took it
Cmaj7 
An hour     ago
Em 
He's cryin' in the snow
G 
I'll never let it go
Dadd4 
I hope
Cmaj7 
When Adam     goes home
Em 
He hides it from his mom
G 
He thinks of me alone
Dadd4 
And when
Cmaj7 
We're swimmin' at the Y
Em 
I'll splash him in the eye
G 
I'll dunk him 'til he cries
