Verse 1
(A major) I never (E major) wanted to be
(G major) better than my (A major) friends
I just wanted (E major) to prove wrong
the (G major) people in my (A major) head
The ones who (E major) told me
I'd be (G major) better off dead (A major)
The ones who (E major) told me
that (G major) I would never (A major) win
When I delivered (E major) newspapers
they (G major) said I was too (A major) slow
When I was a bar (E major) ista
they said (G major) I made lousy (A major) foam
When I worked in (E major) retail
they (G major) said I was a (A major) slob
Much too dumb for (E major) school
and much too (G major) lazy for a (A major) job

Verse 2
So (A major) I (E major) rode my (G major) bike like (A major) lightning
And I made capuc (E major) cinos
that would (G major) make the angels (A major) sing
Took two showers a (E major) day
and I (G major) dressed up like a (A major) princess
Shook my fist in my own (E major) face
and said "I'll (G major) show you who's the (A major) best"
I wrote the kinds of (E major) papers
teachers (G major) hang up on their (A major) walls
I was employee of the (E major) month
at seven (G major) different shopping (A major) malls
And one time playing (E major) football
I pulled the (G major) tendons in my (A major) leg
To prove that I was (E major) tough
I hopped on (G major) one foot
Interlude 1
And finished up the
(A major) (game) (E major) (G major) (A major)
(A major) (E major) (G major) (A major)
Verse 3
I (A major) thought if I suc (E major) ceeded
I'd be (G major) happy and they'd (A major) go away
But first thing every (E major) morning
I'd still (G major) wake up and I'd (A major) hear them say
"You're fat, ugly, and (E major) stupid,
you should (G major) really be a (A major) shamed
No one will ever (E major) like you
you're not (G major) good at any (A major) thing" (A major)
Bridge 1
And (A major) sometimes I'd (E major) rise to the (A major) challenge
But (A major) other times I'd (E major) feel so bad
that (G major) I could not get (A major) out of bed
And (A major) on the days I (E major) stayed in bed
I (G major) sang and sang and (A major) sang
A (A major) bout how crappy I (E major) felt,
not realizing (G major) how many other

Verse 4
Now (A major) people send me (E major) emails (G major) that say
(A major) thanks for saying the (E major) things
they didn't (G major) know how to (A major) say
And the people in my (E major) head still
(G major) visit me some (A major) times
And they bring all of their (E major) friends
but (G major) I don't (A major) mind
I (E major) play my gui (G major) tar like (A major) lightning
When I sing I (E major) like it
when you (G major) sing too loud and (A major) clear
Different voices (E major) different tones
all (G major) sayin' "yeah, we're (A major) not alone"
I got good at (E major) feeling bad
and (G major) that's why I'm still (A major) here
I got good at (E major) feeling bad
and (G major) that's why I'm still (A major) here
I got good at (E major) feeling bad
and (G major) that's why I'm still
