Capo on 2nd fret

C Am

Out of the rain I burst in through the front door,

C Am

Soaking and bleeding again I hit the floor spinning

Backpack on my back, it's weighing me down

Weighing me down, weighing me down.

C Am

I think it's that I don't know kids and they don't know me

C Am

But I know one thing, that I'm safer in my room

I've got the internet, I meet friends on msn,

Friends' friends, friends' friends, they tell me

C Am

C Am

Shit out of kids, that chase you in the street

G F

That'd help me out... That'd help me out

But after a while I get tired,

G C

They try to get me to study but I've got

And I think I've got a world view

And there's not many people like me round here I can tell you

G Am

And I think I'm the future

And I think I'm dead

if I lose track

'Cause they don't know my dad

He's this town through and through

Old school fifty-something balding racist

F C

And so his mates are too
