C
You don't know my name
Am                F
you don't know anything about me
Dm             Am
I try to play nice
                  F      G
I want to be in your game
C
The things that you say
Am               F
You may think I never hear about them
Dm                Am
But word travels fast
                          F         G
I'm telling you to your face I'm standing here behind your back

[Chorus] x2
C    Dm                 F   G
You don't know how it feels To be outside the crowd
C   Dm                    F   G
You don't know what it's like To be left out
C       Dm                 F
And you don't know how it feels
Dm                         F
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in
C
If you could read my mind
Am              F
You might see more of me that meets the eye
Dm                    Am
And you've been all wrong
             F          G
Not who you think I am You've never given me a chance

[Bridge]
Am
Well, I'm tired of staying at home
D               C
I'm bored and alone
D                           F
I'm sick of wasting all my time

[Chorus] x2
C    Dm                 F   G
You don't know how it feels To be outside the crowd
C   Dm                    F   G
You don't know what it's like To be left out
C       Dm                 F
And you don't know how it feels
Dm                         F
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in
C
If you could read my mind
Am              F
You might see more of me that meets the eye
Dm                    Am
And you've been all wrong
             F          G
Not who you think I am You've never given me a chance
