[Intro: Patrick Stump]
I got troubled thoughts and the self-esteem to match
What a catch, what a catch, whoa...

[Verse 1: Patrick Stump]
You'll never catch us, so just let me be
Said, "I'll be fine 'til the hospital or American embassy"

[Pre-Chorus: Patrick Stump]
Miss Flack said, "I still want you back"
Yeah, Miss Flack said, "I still want you back"

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
I got troubled thoughts and the self-esteem to match
What a catch, what a catch
And all I can think of is the way I'm the one who charmed the one
Who gave up on you, who gave up on you, oh, whoa...

[Verse 2: Patrick Stump]
They say the captain goes down with the ship
So when the world ends, will God go down with it?

[Pre-Chorus: Patrick Stump]
Miss Flack said, "I still want you back"
Yeah, Miss Flack said, "I still want you back"

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
I got troubled thoughts and the self-esteem to match
What a catch, what a catch
And all I can think of is the way I'm the one who charmed the one
Who gave up on you, who gave up on you...

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Bridge: Patrick Stump]
What a catch, what a catch, what a catch, what a catch, whoa...

[Reprise: Elvis Costello]
I will never end up like him
Behind my back, I already am
Keep a calendar, this way you will
Always know

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
I said, I got troubled thoughts and the self-esteem to match
What a catch, what a catch
And all I can think of is the way I'm the one who charmed the one
Who gave up on you, who gave up on you

[Fall Out Boy Reprises]

[Reprise: Gabe Saporta]
Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman
Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town...

[Reprise: Travie McCoy]
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And sugar, we're goin' down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it...

[Reprise: Brendon Urie]
Dance, dance, we're falling apart to halftime
Dance, dance, and these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me...

[Reprise: Doug Neumann]
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race...

[Reprise: Alex DeLeon]
One night, yeah and one more time
Thanks for the memories, even though they weren't so great
He tastes like you
Only sweeter...

[Reprise: William Beckett]
Growing up
Growing up...

[Outro: Patrick Stump]
I got troubled thoughts and the self-esteem to match
What a catch, what a catch...

Fall Out Boy

Fall Out Boy is an American rock band hailing from Wilmette, Illinois. The band was formed in 2001 by Pete Wentz, who supplies bass and lyrics to the band, and guitarist Joe Trohman, who both used to be part of metalcore band Arma Angelus. Trohman later recruited vocalist Patrick Stump, who initially tried out as the band’s drummer, after meeting him in a bookstore. After the release of Project Rocket/Fall Out Boy, a split EP with Project Rocket. It was recorded without current drummer Andy Hurley due to him being disinterested in the project; Hurley later joined in 2003 as a replacement touring drummer.

Fueled By Ramen, who were a small independent label at the time, personally called Fall Out Boy to ask them to record a full-length record after hearing one of their demos online. This album became their 2003 debut, Take This To Your Grave, and was a tipping point between the band’s underground success to success in the mainstream. It was the band’s last album to feature Stump as the lead lyricist.

The band’s 2004 acoustic EP, My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue, became their first charting release and gave fans a taste of what to expect on their sophomore album From Under The Cork Tree. The album creation was set back in February 2005 after Wentz’s suicide attempt, which influenced songs such as “7 Minutes In Heaven (Atavan Halen).” The album was released in May 2005 through Island Records, featuring guest vocals from William Beckett of The Academy Is… and Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco.
