I've transcribed this song in its original key for those that don't have access to a If you have one, it sounds best with a capo on the second fret, making the necessary to preserve the original key (A is played as G, Bm is played as Am, etc.)

I'm a ^Afirst ^Bmtimer ^F#m wishing I was someone ^Delse When I ^Asee you by ^D your^Eself ^A In a ^Acori^Bmdor ^F#m where you find yourself not ^Dblocked By the ^Adoors you ^D loc^Eked ^A

^Bm You won't do what the doctor ^Dordered ^Bm You won't see ^Dsomeone ^Eelse Come on ^Bmback to ^Dme ^Bm My ^Dpride to^F#mmorrow

You say you ^Afeel ^Bmhollow^F#m and you know it's cause you ^Dare Well at^A least so^D f^Ear ^A

Solo A Bm F#m D (you can throw some 7th in to liven it up) A D E A

^Bm I think of you with ^Dhesitation ^Bm I think of ^Dyou too ^Ehard Come on ^Bmback to ^Dme ^Bm But don't ^Dmake me s^F#morry
