^GSometimes I sit and wonder why ^A7I was born ^CWhen everything that I touch Seems to t^Gurn out wrong^{D G}Though I'm a mistake There must be a ^A7place I belong^C

But I'm ou^Ctside lo^Doking ^Gin [Luke 15:14] ^G(Life looks so e^Dmasy, they all seem so h^Am7appy) Yes, I'm out^Cside loo^Dking i^Gn ^G(And everyone's pr^Dmetty but I feel so u^Am7gly) I'm all a^Clone wit^Dhout a fr^Emiend 'Cause I'm out^Cside loo^Dking i^Gn

^GThe plan was laid I guess I was m^A7ade this way [Psa 51:5] I've tr^Cied before but I just can't se^Gem to ch^Dange ^GStill my heart longs to belong ^A7I wish there was a w^Cay
