D A
Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
G A D
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
D A
Just try your best, try everything you can.
G A D
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride everything,

Everything will be just fine, everything, everything will be all right (all right)

END on D
I recommend you use these power chords, not the secondary chords.
D – x577xxx (or D2 – xx0230) A – 5776xx (or A2 –
G – 3554xx (or 3200xx)
For the D2 and A2, mute the low E sting with your index finger.
