I gotta tell you, Rabbi

G                               C      Csus2         F
When you're a geek, it's the loneliest thing in the world

                  F                        F/A
You're always wondering what everybody's laughing about

            F                        G

Nothing is worse

              F                                  G
The girls all roll their eyes and walk away when you get close

               C     Csus2             F
You've got a fatal disease no one can -- diagnose

It's contagious, it's viral

         Am       G
It's a downward spiral

       F       C            G
The loneliest thing in the world

But when you're cool

When you wanna get to second base

If you're cool, you know you got a shot

    C
But oh!
If you're not –

It's the loneliest thing in the world
G [EVAN] Oh, yeah
             C

        G
If you like the wrong movies
If you like the wrong bands If you take the wrong classes
        C

          G
If it's Saturday night
And you don't have any plans 'Cause you spent the past week
           C
