What About Me – Shannon Noll
Easiest way I find, is to play with capo on 4 (to get original key) because then 
you get to play the easiest chord forms :) to transpose though, just use the 
buttons at the side.  Original will be in the key of E.
[Intro]

[Verse]
CWell, there's a Emlittle boy waiting
at the Fcounter of the corner sChop.
He's been Amwaiting down there, Emwaiting
half the day, they Fnever ever see him

He gets Ampushed around, Fknocked to the ground.
He Dgets to his feet and he Fsays
[Chorus]
What about Cme?
It iEmsn't fair,
I'Fve had enough, now I Dmwant my share.
Can't you Csee?

[Verse 2]
CWell, there's a Empretty girl serving at the cFounter of the corner Cshop.
She's been Amwaiting back there, Emwaiting for her dreams.
Her dreams Fwalk in and out, they never Gstop.
Well, she's nAmot too proud to Fcry out loud.
She Druns to the street and she sFcreams
[Chorus]
What about Cme?
It iEmsn't fair,
I'Fve had enough, now I Dmwant my share.
Can't you Csee?
