Verse:
E B A
I didn’t know what I would find
(A)
When I went looking for a reason, I know
E B A
I didn’t read between the lines
(A)
And, baby, I’ve got nowhere to go
F#m A
I tried to take the road less traveled by
F#m A
But nothing seems to work the first few times
B
Am I right?
Chorus:
E B
So how can I ever try to be better?
A
Nobody ever lets me in
E B
I can still see you, this aint the best view
A
On the outside looking in
F#m
I’ve been a lot of lonely places
A B
I’ve never been on the outside

Verse:
E B A
You saw me there, but never knew
(A)
I would give it all up to be
E B A
A part of this, a part of you
(A)
And now it’s all too late, so you see
F#m A
You could’ve helped if you had wanted to
F#m A
But no one notices until it’s too
B
Late to do anything
Chorus:
E B
How can I ever try to be better?
A
Nobody ever lets me in
E B
I can still see you, this aint the best view
A
On the outside looking in
F#m
I’ve been a lot of lonely places
A B
I’ve never been on the outside
