capo 3

well how does it feel now
that you’re on the outside looking in
now you know how it feels to be someone who is all alone

well i felt like that for quite sometime now
until i met you
and then you threw it away as if it were no use to you

prechrous
lets pretend that this didn’t happen at all
let’s pretend we’re strangers brushing shoulders in the halls

chorus
now ill show you what its like to live on the outside
now that youve shown me what its like to be on the inside
and I’ve tried and I’m hurting from trying to get back to you
maybe i should’ve been on the inside with you, too

so many mistakes I’ve made in the past,
maybe i should’ve been more careful when i was with you
we both know you made those mistakes too

and I’ve tried, and tried and tried
to get it all off my chest
but every time i try to forgive myself i just regret

pre chorus

chorus

bridge
(am, c, em, c)
and don’t you think I’ve tried n I’ve tried to get back to you?
its like a tidal wave and i can’t seem to find you
youve disappeared on me once or twice now
im not asking for your sympathy but what do i do now?

let’s pretend that this didn’t happen at all
lets pretend we’re strangers, we don’t know each other at all

chorus 2x
last sentence
maybe i should walk away from being inside with you
