JEREMY:
FF
I already know what it’s like to
Be the loser
I should find out what it’s like to
Not be the loser, or the geek, or the whatever
Bb majorBb C majorC
I think I felt inconsequential
DmDm C majorC
Since middle school began
Bb majorBb C majorC
I knew I had no potential
Am7Am7
To be the leading man
Bb majorBb C majorC
But based on how today’s going
DmDm C majorC
I'm finally gaining ground
Bb majorBb C majorC
I even got some blood flowing
Am7Am7
With no computer screen around
G+G
Which was cool
Bb majorBb
But what really felt good
G+G
Was doing something that
Bb majorBb C majorC
I never thought that I could
FF
It’s not only school that’s rough
C majorC
Being lonely’s stupid tough
Bb majorBb A minorAm
Now, I think I’ve had enough
Eb MajorEb
Of being the loser, the geek, or whatever
FF
Michael thinks that weird is rad
C majorC
But feeling weird just makes me sad
Bb majorBb A minorAm
And I deserve to not feel bad
D MajorD Eb MajorEb
From being the loser, the geek, or whatever
Bb majorBb
Sick of being in the loser, the geek or whatever yeah!
FF
Woah! Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh!
Eb MajorEb
Woah! Uh huh, uh huh!
Bb majorBb C majorC
Dad taught me “Follow your instincts!
D MajorD C majorC
Trust your inner voice! Listen to your heart!” And such
Bb majorBb C majorC
My whole life I've followed my instincts
JEREMY, spoken:
C#C#
Well guess what!?
D MajorD (Stop)
My instincts suck so much!
JEREMY, sung:
C majorC D MajorD
So now I’m taking direction
E minorEm D MajorD
From another voice
C majorC D MajorD
If my instincts have an objection
BB E minorEm
Then that means I’m making the right choice!
G+G C majorC
Behaving this way feels bizarre
D MajorD
But if things keep up the way they are
C majorC A minorAm
Then soon enough I’ll get real far
FF
From being the loser, the geek, or whatever
G+G C majorC
If Brooke can look me in the eye
D MajorD
Like I’m some normal handsome guy
C majorC D MajorD
I owe it to myself to try
E minorEm FF
Not being the loser, the geek, or whatever
C majorC
Sick of being the loser, geek, or whatever yeah!
G+G
Woah! Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh!
FF C majorC D MajorD
Woah! Uh huh, uh huh!
G+G
?: Prompt the good in me and I’ll obey!
FF C majorC BB
I have the bandwidth to do as you say!
Eb MajorEb
Especially now, since I clearly see
BB
The problem has always been me
Eb MajorEb
Take a breath And get prepared
Bb majorBb
But still I’m just a little scared
AbAb
For who gets cut
FF
And who gets spared
C#C#
When I'm the cool dude, the hero, or whatever
Eb MajorEb
If Christine likes me in the end
Bb majorBb
Will I be able to pretend
AbAb G+G
I didn’t fail my one real friend?
AbAb Bb majorBb
But that’s the shit I normally would think
BB C#C#
Get over it, get priorities in sync
Bb majorBb C majorC
Just mute the voice inside your head
C#C# AbAb (Bb majorBb)
And connect to another source instead
(Single Strum)
FF
I’ve earned a right to selfishly
C majorC
Be all for one and one for me
Bb majorBb G+G
I’ve wasted all eternity
Eb MajorEb
Just being the loser, the geek, or whatever
G+G
I'm steady and the game's begun
D MajorD
I’m ready, set, I’m player one!
C majorC BB
The future’s now, I'm freakin done
C majorC
With being the weirdo, the wuss, the underdog
E minorEm FF
Being the misfit, the old school analog
C majorC D MajorD
Being the odd-ball, the weakling freak
E minorEm FF
The failure, the sucker, the “please don’t speak!”
C majorC D MajorD
Oh, I can hardly wait for the moment when
Bb majorBb
I’m not the loser, the geek, or whatever
FF
Oh, I’m not the loser, the geek, no never!
A minorAm
No! I’m not the loser, the geek, or whatever
D MajorD G+G Bb majorBb C majorC FF
Ever again!
MICHAEL, spoken:
Jeremy?
JEREMY, spoken:
Optic nerve blocking, on
SQUIP, spoken:
Now, let’s get to work
