Intro:

E
 I was never cool in school,

 I'm sure you don't remember me.
    G/D
And now it's been ten years,
          D
I'm still wondering who to be.
	Em
And I'd love to mix,
   Eaug
In circles, cliques,
    G/D         C#dim
And social cote-ries, that's me.
Hand me my nose ring,
G/D         D
 (Can we be happy?)
Show me the mosh pit,
C
 (Can we be happy?)
G   G/A  G/B C   G/B
 We can  be  hap-py,

 Un-der-ground.

G              Gaug
 Who's got the looks,
              G6
Who's got the brains,
          G7
Who's got everything?
C           B7         Em7
 I got this pain in my heart,
Ebm7    Dm7
 That's all.
C
 (Hey you,
         Cm       F7     G
With the long and lonely face).
              Bb
Yeah, there's gotta be,

 Something else.

Verse 2:

(C/D)
 And let me tell you,
G               Gaug
 Something else,
	    G6
There was a girl,
               G7
That passed me by,
           C               B7
She gave a smile but I was shy,
             Em7
And I looked down,
Ebm7 Dm7
 So  down.
C
 (Don't look down no no,
Cm     F7    G
 Go go under-ground).
    Bb
But now there's,
  C           C/D
A place to go.

(D)
 And we'll be decked,
   G         Gaug
In all black,
             G6             G7
Slamming the pit fantastic.
        C                 B7
Officer Friendly's little boy's,
      Em7
Got a mohawk,
       Ebm7       Dm7
And he knows just where,
      C
We're coming from.
