Tuned down half a step

Cheerleaders hate me

librarians too

i look at them they look at me

F C

and i realize they're looking through

shopgirls ignore me

and the hookers all boo

i disappear in front of them as i

F C

walk along the avenue

Dm F

cause i got nobody

F Bb F

i must be cold-blooded

Dm Bb F

and i wonder if they hear my heartbeat blues

the dirt on my collar

the cracks in my skin

they never say a word to me

F C

like i'm just some kinda mannequin

out on the schoolyard

and down on the street

i cross my heart and hope to die

F C

there will be someone there for me

Dm F

cause i got nobody

F Bb F

i must be cold-blooded

Dm Bb F

and i wonder if they hear my heartbeat blues

i got a heart that makes the sound of a rockin' band

F5 D5 F5

where are you going

Bb5 C5 Bb5

a happy ending doesn't happen til the audience stands

F5 D5 F5

tell me a story

Bb5 C5 Bb5

i got a hundred pages written on the back of my hand

F5 D5 F5

where are you going

Bb5 C5 Bb5

i got a heart and you can have it if you let me be your man
