EmStrumming on my sCix string
Wondering what this wAmorld might bring
Little oB7l' me
Don't know what to tell them         (same as previous)
I hardly know who is my friend
Late at night
I sit up and try to find the answer to it all
I think I'm going crazy
I haven't been me lately
And I'm loCsing my mind
Only moCst of the time
And I don'Emt, don't know why
I'm stCuck in this mud
With nCowhere to run
And I don'B7t know why
EmI keep thinking this life's not for me
CWhat am I doing
What am I proving to soAmmeone, or aB7nybody
EmLord, I can't take this anymore
I'm getting resCtless
I gotta test this, oh this thAming they call the reH7al worldEm  
Been telling myself that it's alright
Everything will turn out alright
I'll just give it a little time
But that ain't working no more
I don't think it worked before
And I'm losing my mind
Only most of the time
And I don't, don't know why
I'm stuck in this mud
With nowhere to run
And I don't know why
I keep thinking this life's not for me
What am I doing
What am I proving to someone, or anybody
Lord, I can't take this anymore
I'm getting restless
I gotta test this, oh this thing they call the real world
Oh the real world
The real world
I'm getting restless
I gotta test this, oh this thing they call the real world

Em C

Strumming on my six string

Wondering what this world might bring

Little ol' me

Don't know what to tell them (same as previous)

I hardly know who is my friend

Late at night

I sit up and try to find the answer to it all

I think I'm going crazy

I haven't been me lately

And I'm losing my mind

Only most of the time

And I don't, don't know why

I'm stuck in this mud

With nowhere to run

And I don't know why

I keep thinking this life's not for me

What am I doing

Am B7

What am I proving to someone, or anybody

Lord, I can't take this anymore

I'm getting restless

Am H7 Em

I gotta test this, oh this thing they call the real world

Been telling myself that it's alright

Everything will turn out alright

I'll just give it a little time

But that ain't working no more

I don't think it worked before

And I'm losing my mind

Only most of the time

And I don't, don't know why

I'm stuck in this mud

With nowhere to run

And I don't know why

I keep thinking this life's not for me

What am I doing

What am I proving to someone, or anybody

Lord, I can't take this anymore

I'm getting restless

I gotta test this, oh this thing they call the real world

Oh the real world

The real world

I'm getting restless

I gotta test this, oh this thing they call the real world
