The Lads (New Zealand) - Town

^BI used to be so ^C#7scared of ^Egoing to Manner^Bs Mall ^BOf walking past those ^C#7staring eyes that ^Emade me feel so ^Bsmall ^BCreeping up and ^C#7down trying to ^Efind a fault to ^Bsee ^BSo they could lock me ^C#7up inside and ^Ethrow away the ^Bkey

^BI've tried being ^C#7someone else just ^Eso I could belong^{B B}I've lived my life in ^C#7fear of putting ^Eone foot ^Bwrong ^BAlthough your words may ^C#7hurt me it's ^Etime for me to ^Bgo ^BI'm trying trying to be m^C#7yself now.......And I ^Ethink that you should ^Bknow that...

^GI can go into ^Dtown by myself if I want to Look ^Aaround at the world with my own eyes I don't ^Ehave to be afraid ^GWhy do we try to be the ^Dsame competing with each other All dressed ^Aup in brown cords and pyjamas ^EPretending to be cool

^BI watched the world go ^C#7by through the ^Ewindow of my ^Bmind ^BBut how I saw ^C#7myself made friends ^Ehard to ^Bfind ^BI wasn't sure you ^C#7liked me ^Ealthough I think you ^Btried ^BI wanted you to ^C#7like me mor^Ee, to fill the ^Bhole inside

^BAccepting who I ^C#7am didn't ^Ecome from being the ^Bbest ^BOr earning popu^C#7larity by ^Epassing all your ^Btests ^BThe thing that helped me^C#7 most Was when the re^Ealisation ^Bcame ^BThat there is a God who ^C#7love's me, Who ^Eknows me by my ^Bname
