D MajorD
I'm a little boy with glasses
The one they call a geek
B minorBm
A augmentedA little girl who never smiles
'Cause I have braces on my teeth
G+G D/F#D/F# E minorEm A augmentedA
And I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep
D MajorD
I'm that kid on every playground
Who's always chosen last
B minorBm
A augmentedA single teenage mother
Tryin' to overcome my past
G+G D/F#D/F# E minorEm
You don't have to be my friend
A augmentedA
But is it too much to ask
D MajorD
Don't laugh at me
B minorBm
Don't call me names
G+G A augmentedA
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
D MajorD B minorBm
In God's eyes we're all the same
G+G A augmentedA
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
D MajorD
Don't laugh at me
D MajorD
I'm the beggar on the corner
You've passed me on the street
