(Intro)
[D] [A] [Em] [G]
[D] [A] [Em] [G]
(Verse 1)
[D]I didn't [A]know what I would [G]find
[G]When I went looking for a reason, I know
[D]I didn't read [A]between the [G]lines
[G]And, baby, I've got nowhere to [Em]go
(Pre-Chorus)
[Em]I tried to take the road less [G]traveled by
[Em]But nothing seems to work the [G]first few times
[A]Am I right?
(Chorus)
So [D]how can I ever try [A]to be better?
[G]Nobody ever lets me in
[D]I can still see you, [A]this ain't the best view
[G]On the outside looking in
[Em]I've been a lot of lonely places
[G]I've never [A]been on the outside
(Verse 2)
[D]You saw me [A]there, but never [G]knew
[G]That I would give it all up to be
[D]A part of [A]this, a part of [G]you
[G]And now it's all too late, so you [Em] see
(Pre-Chorus)
[Em]You could've helped if you had [G]wanted to
[Em]But no one notices un [G]til it's too
[A]Late to do anything
(Chorus)
[D]How can I ever try [A]to be better?
[G]Nobody ever lets me in
[D]I can still see you, [A]this ain't the best view
[G]On the outside looking in
[Em]I've been a lot of lonely places
[G]I've never [A]been on the outside
(Instrumental)
[Bm] [D] [G] [D/F#]
Oh [Bm]yeah [D] [Em] [G]
(Chorus)
[D]How can I ever try [A]to be better?
[G]Nobody ever lets me in
[D]I can still see you, [A]this ain't the best view
[G]On the outside looking in
[Em]I've been a lot of lonely places
[G]I've never [A]been on the outside
[D] [A] [Em] [G]
[D] [A] [Em]
