D A Em G x2
DAG I didn’t know what I would find
 When I went looking for a reason, I know 
DAG 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
EmG But nothing seems to work the first few times
A Am I right?
 
DA So how can I ever try to be better?
G Nobody ever lets me in
DA 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
GA I’ve never been on the outside
 
DAG You saw me there, but never knew
 I would give it all up to be 
DAG 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
EmG But no one notices until it’s too
A Late to do anything
 
DA How can I ever try to be better?
G Nobody ever lets me in
DA 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
GA I’ve never been on the outside
