D MajorD A augmentedA G+G G minorGm D MajorD


Verse 1:

       F# minorF#m
It's hard to explain


C majorC    G/BG/B           D MajorD
Inherently it's just always been strange


       F# minorF#m
Neither here nor there

C majorC     B minorBm     G+G     D MajorD
Always somewhat out of place everywhere


  F# minorF#m
Ambiguous


C majorC     G/BG/B          D MajorD
Without a sense of belonging to touch


     F# minorF#m
Somewhere halfway


C majorC        G+G           D MajorD
Feeling there's no one completely the same


Chorus:

C#m7C#m7   F#7F#7
Standing alone


B minorBm
Eager to just


A minorAm         D MajorD    G+G
Believe it's good enough to be what

 F#7F#7
You really are


N.C.
But in your heart


 B minorBm        A#A#
Uncertainty forever lies


  A augmentedA
And you'll always be


N.C.
Somewhere on the


  G+G  D MajorD
Outside


Verse 2:

       F# minorF#m
Early on, you face


C majorC    B minorBm     D MajorD
The realization you don't


N.C.
Have a space


     F# minorF#m
Where you fit in


C majorC    G+G
And recognize you


       E minorEm D MajorD
Were born to exist


Chorus:

C#m7C#m7   F#7F#7
Standing alone


Bm7Bm7
Eager to just


Am7Am7        D MajorD    G+G
Believe it's good enough to be what


  F#F#
You really are


N.C.
But in your heart


 B minorBm        G minorGm
Uncertainty forever lies


A augmentedA
And you'll always be


N.C.
Somewhere on the


  G+G G minorGm D MajorD
Outside


Break:

D MajorD
And it's hard


N.C.
And it's hard


N.C.
And it's hard


Verse 3:

BB     E minor 7Em7
Irreversibly


A#mA#m      D MajorD
Falling in between


N.C.
And it's hard


     BB
And it's hard


      E minor 7Em7
To be understood


A#m7A#m7
As you are


N.C.
As you are


F#7F#7 D MajorD
Oh, and God knows


Chorus 2:

      C# minorC#m       F#F#
That you're standing on your own


Bm7Bm7
Blind and unguided


Am7Am7     G#G#
Into a world divided


    Gmaj7Gmaj7
You're thrown


       C#m7C#m7      F#7F#7
Where you're never quite the same


Bm7Bm7        A minorAm   D MajorD
Although you try, try and try


  Gmaj7Gmaj7
To tell yourself


  F#m7F#m7
You really are


F#7F#7        B minorBm         G minorGm
But in your heart uncertainty forever lies


  A augmentedA
And you'll always be


          G+G G minorGm D MajorD
Somewhere on the outside


N.C.
You'll always be


A augmentedA        G+G G minorGm D MajorD
Somewhere on the outside
