Tuning: Standard
I might as well be a JaCpanese excGhange student
Cause' pAmeople want to know me, right when I show uFp
But then the thCrill wears off, and then IG'm alone
unAmtil Beyonce rolls through town,
and tFhey think that I can call and score a ticket
When I can't.
Cause' CI dGon't know hFer, like you don't know mAme
It's a lonGely wAmorld when it's aFll that you see
CIt doesn't mGatter Fif I got a good heart in Amme
This gets lonely.
I might as well be a JapCanese excGhange student
Cause' peAmople want know me, right when I show uFp
But then the thriCll wears off, and then IG'm alone
UAmntil Paul McCartney rolls through town,
and thFey think that I can get in on the guest list,
When I can't.
Cause' CI dGon't know hFim like you don't know Amme.
It's a lonGely thAming when it's aFll that you see.
CIt doesn't maGtter iFf I got a good heart in Amme.
This gets lonely.
Last yCear I got the cGover,
my pAmhone wouldn't stop riFnging and ringing.
They caClled more than mGother and tAmhat is saying somFething
Well laCtely it’s been quGiet and my pFhone just picks up dust calls
“It’s all about D/F#who you know”
but you dFon’t really have to know anyGone
So be nice to the JaCpanese exGchange students,
Cause' peAmople want to know them, right when they show uFp,
you may have foCund yourself in a simGilar place
Where you foAmund you looked around and just saw loFads of empty sGpace.
And you were thinking how yoCu doGn't know thFem,
like they don't know Amyou.
It's a loGnely feeAmling after aFll that you do.
CGot a good heart, gGot a good soul, wAmhat must I Fdo to prove it anymore?
CI got friends in hGigh and low places,
Amand it's all the sFame to me.
CI love the JaGpanese, I Amlove the JapFanese,
            C              G  Am-F  
those from Japan and overseas.
CI love the JaGpanese, Amdo you love the JapFanese?
CThose from JaGpan and oAmversFeas,
CThose from JaGpan and oveAmrseas, lGike Cme.
