Now I'm [Bm] standing on the outside and [C] I'm waiting in the [G] rain.
[Bm] Tell me why must [C] I always [G] explain.
Read [Bm] my soul to the crowd.

What [G] the cost.
Most [Bm] of them laugh at like [C]
a [D] nonsense.

They were [Bm] hypocrites and parasites [C] and people that [G] drink.
[Bm] Tell me why must [C] I [G] [Am] always [G] explain.

I can't be everywhere at [Bm] once.
There's always [C]
somebody to [G] see.

And I [G] tell you who [Bm] I am time [C] and time and time [G] again.
[Bm] Tell me why must [C] I [G] always explain.
Well I [Bm] sat on the highway and I tried [C]
on [G] with the show.
Always [Bm] telling people [G] things they're [C] too [Bm] lazy to [D] know.
