Verse 1:
A                         Bm
D                          A
 I did my best just to fit in
A                            Bm
 Broke my heart on the playground, mmh
D                          A
 When they said I was different


Pre-Chorus:
    C#
Oh, now
         F#m                              D
Now, I'm all grown up and nothin' has changed

Yeah, it's still the same

It's a hard life on easy street
           F#m        C#m               D       A
Just white painted picket fences far as you can see
       F#m      A           D            A
If you think we live in the land of the free

You should try to be black like me

 My daddy worked day and night
D                             A
 For an old house and a used car
A                         Bm     D
 Just to live that good life, mmh
                          A
It shouldn't be twice as hard

Oh, now
