Standing on [E] the outside looking [D] in Don't
[F#m] feel any [E] different, [D] it's the way it's

[D] mannequins
You're [F#m] always standing on [E] the outside looking [D]
in
I [F#m]
remember when [E] you taught me how [D] to bake In [F#m] a roadside [E] motel bathtub, [D] I watched you
shave [E] your legs [A] We swore that we would [E] take this to [D] our graves
[F#m]
I remember when [E] you taught me how [D] to bake You [E]
said only I could make [D] you happy
[E] But I'm not gonna tell [D] you how [E]

[F#m] There's a place she longs [E] to be, she'll [D] never go
[F#m] Now I'm standing on [E] the outside looking [D]
in
On [F#m] a wall of paper [E] tigers [D] and imaginary [E] friends
[A] It's a shame I can't be the [E] father to [D]
pretend
Well, [F#m] I'm standing on the [E] outside [D] looking in
I [E]
told [Bm] you how I planned on [D] dying
[E]
But you know how it's [D] joke around
[E]
I'm all for never [D] saying never
At least [Bm] for now, at least [E] for now
[A]
Cause I could never [D] make you happy
[A]
But I know just how to calm you [D] down
[A]
You know I could see the [D] future
Only [Bm]
