Conor Oberst - Standing on the outside looking in

^EmStanding on the ^Doutside looking ^Cin ^EmDon't feel any diffe^Drent it's the w^Cay it's always b^Deen In the ^Gworld the headless we^Dll dressed manne^Cquins You're always st^Emanding on the ^Doutside looking ^Cin

I re^Emmember when you taught ^Dme how to ^Cbathe In the road^Emside motel bath^Dtub I w^Catched you shave your ^Dlegs You ^Gswore that we would take ^Dthis to our ^Cgraves I re^Emmember when you taught ^Dme how to ^Cbathe ^D

You said only I can make ya ^Chappy ^D But I'm not gonna tell you ^Chow ^D I don't want this to last for^Cever Only now, only ^Dnow

There's a ^Emplace she longs to be ^Dshe'll never ^Cgo Took a p^Emicture out the ^Dwindow with the ca^Cmera on her ^Dphone Got off ^Gone more time then put ^Dback on her ^Cclothes There's a ^Emplace she longs to be ^Dshe'll never ^Cgo

Now I'm ^Emstanding on the ^Doutside looking ^Cin In a ^Emworld of paper ^Dtigers and i^Cmaginary ^Dfriends It's a s^Ghame I can't be ^Dbothered to p^Cretend When I'm ^Emstanding at the ^Doutside looking ^Cin ^D

I told you how I planned on ^Cdying ^D But you know I always joke a^Cround ^D I'm up for never saying ^Cnever At least for now, at least for ^Dnow

^GBecause I could never make you ^Chappy ^G But I know just how to calm you ^Cdown ^G We don't have to see the ^Cfuture Only now, only ^Dnow
