F C Gm Bb
F C Bb
I didn't know what I would find
F
When I went looking for a reason, I know
C Bb
I didn't read between the lines
Gm
And, baby, I've got nowhere to go
Bb
I tried to take the road less traveled by
Gm Bb
But nothing seems to work the first few times
C
Am I right?
F C
So how can I ever try to be better?
Bb
Nobody ever lets me in
F C
I can still see you, this ain't the best view
Bb
On the outside looking in
Gm
I've been a lot of lonely places
Bb C
I've never been on the outside
F C Bb
You saw me there, but never knew
F
That I would give it all up to be
C Bb
A part of this, a part of you
Gm
And now it's all too late so you see
Bb
You could've helped if you had wanted to
Gm Bb
But no one notices until it's too
C
Late to do anything
F C
How can I ever try to be better?
Bb
Nobody ever lets me in
F C
I can still see you, this ain't the best view
Bb
On the outside looking in
Gm
I've been a lot of lonely places
Bb C
I've never been on the outside
Dm F Bb C
Dm F Gm Bb
*
Oh, yeah
F C
How can I ever try to be better?
Bb
Nobody ever lets me in
F C
I can still see you, this ain't the best view
Bb
On the outside looking in
Gm
I've been a lot of lonely places
Bb C F
I've never been on the outside... Ohh.
C Gm Bb
F C Gm
