E                           Eaug
 I was never cool in school; I'm sure you don't remember me.

    Em/D                               D
And now it's been ten years, I'm still wondering who to be.

        Cmaj7          Caug
And I'd love to mix in circles, cliques,

    G/B        C#m7b5
And social coteries, 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 G/A G  Fmaj7
 We can  be  happy  un- derground.

G              Gaug                 G6                G7
 Who's got the looks, who's got the brains, who's got everything?

C7          B7         Em7   Ebm7   Dm7
 I got this pain in my heart that's all.

Yeah, there's gotta be something else.

Verse 2:

                    G              Gaug
And let me tell you something else;

            G6                  G7
There was a girl that passed me by;

           C7              B7                Em7   Ebm7 Dm7
She gave a smile but I was shy, and I looked down, so   down.

C                         Cm7    F7   G
 (Don't look down no, no; go, go underground)

    Bb7           C           C/D
But now there's a place to go.

Slamming the pit fantastic.

        C7                B7          Em7
Officer Friendly's little boy's got a Mohawk,

       Ebm7       Dm7         C
And he knows just where we're coming from.
