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