[Verse 1]
[A]I never wan[E]ted to be
[G]better than my [A]friends
I just wanted [E]to prove wrong
the [G]people in my [A]head
The ones who [E]told me
I'd be [G]better off [A]dead
The ones who [E]told me
that [G]I would never w[A]in
When I delivered [E]newspapers
they [G]said I was too [A]slow
When I was a bar[E]ista
they said [G]I made lousy f[A]oam
When I worked in [E]retail
they [G]said I was a [A]slob
Much too dumb for [E]school
and much too [G]lazy for a [A]job

[Verse 2]
So [A]I r[E]ode my b[G]ike like l[A]ightning
And I made capuc[E]cinos
that would [G]make the angels [A]sing
Took two showers a [E]day
and I [G]dressed up like a [A]princess
Shook my fist in my own [E]face
and said "I'll [G]show you who's the [A]best"
I wrote the kinds of [E]papers
teachers [G]hang up on their [A]walls
I was employee of the [E]month
at seven [G]different shopping [A]malls
And one time playing [E]football
I pulled the [G]tendons in my [A]leg
To prove that I was [E]tough
I hopped on [G]one foot

[Interlude 1]
And finished up the
[A](game)[E][G][A]
[A][E][G][A]

[Verse 3]
I [A]thought if I suc[E]ceeded
I'd be [G]happy and they'd [A]go away
But first thing every [E]morning
I'd still [G]wake up and I'd [A]hear them say
"You're fat, ugly, and [E]stupid,
you should [G]really be a[A]shamed
No one will ever [E]like you
you're not [G]good at any[A]thing"[A]

[Bridge 1]
And [A]sometimes I'd [E]rise to the [A]challenge
But [A]other times I'd [E]feel so bad
that [G]I could not get o[A]ut of bed
And [A]on the days I [E]stayed in bed
I [G]sang and sang and [A]sang
A[A]bout how crappy [E]I felt,
not realizing [G]how many other

[Interlude 2]
people would relate

[Verse 4]
Now [A]people send me [E]emails [G]that say
[A]thanks for saying the [E]things
they didn't [G]know how to [A]say
And the people in my [E]head still
[G]visit me some[A]times
And they bring all of their [E]friends
but [G]I don't m[A]ind
I [E]play my gui[G]tar like [A]lightning
When I sing I [E]like it
when you [G]sing too loud and [A]clear
Different voices [E]different tones
all [G]sayin' "yeah, we're [A]not alone"
I got good at [E]feeling bad
and [G]that's why I'm still [A]here
I got good at [E]feeling bad
and [G]that's why I'm still [A]here
I got good at [E]feeling bad
and [G]that's why I'm still

[Outro 1]
