[Intro] E A E A E A E A [Verse 1]
     D               A
Ever since I was a child

                  E  A  E  A
I never had a crowd

      D                   A
I was much too harsh, too wild

               E  A  E  A
Too stinkin’ loud

F#m                   G#m
Nuns and judges, they shed some tears

           A                            B
Said “This delinquent she just terrifies all her peers”

     D                   A
So I tried to play it straight

                          E A E A
But I just played in the mud

          D
Since the age of eight

A                            E A E A
Rebellion was just in my blood

F#m                              Ab
They go red in the face and they pull their hair

            A                         B
Cuz I was a basket case, never really seemed to care
[Chorus 1]
              A          E
There are two girls in a line

B            A
One is doing fine

         E       A E A
I’m the other one

A          E
One’s in a dress

B           A
I’m a muddy mess

        E        A
I’m the other one

Ab                  C#m
Oo, Lord, to be the other one

    D                 A
Who doesn’t quite fit in

                                 E  A E
The other one is all I’ve ever been

    A            E
And that’s how I like it

A           E
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[SUSANNAH, spoken] N.C. Why do you like being the odd man out? [SHEILA, spoken] N.C. It's the mystique I cultivate. Tells everybody: "Don't mess with her." Just steer clear [SUSANNAH, spoken] N.C. I have that mystique as well. I just don't, uh, cultivate it [Verse 2]
D
Whenever I approach

A                          E A E
Most people just walk away

E
But the sad part is

  D                  A
I know they’d likely despise me

                      E A E
If they decided to stay
[Chorus 2]
              A          E
There are two girls in a line

B                A
One has got that shine

        E        A E
I’m the other one

               A        E
Blending in is easy for some

B              A
I’m the sorest thumb

        E        A
I’m the other one

G#                      C#m
Oh I’ve always been the other one

    D                A
Who never quite fits in

                                  E A E
The other one is all I’ve ever been

    A       E
And I don’t like it

        A         E
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
[Bridge]
              G#
Why would you wanna be the same as all the people

                        C#m
All the suckers, making homes and planning parties

                                         F#
Feeding babies, cleaning dishes, serving coffee

                                                     B
Serving every man in sight a Wonder Bread and peanut butter

                          E
Feeling dead but clearing clutter

            G#
Your bed so cold and growing mold

                                    C#m
But it was sold to you at Abraham & Strauss

                              C#m
One of your spouse's favorite stores

                                 F#m
And cuz it's his that means it's yours

                        F#m
You're a minion your opinion is worth less

        B
Than an ordinary house cat

  B
Why you wanna be that?

     A                           B
Like every other person that you know?
[SUSANNAH, spoken] N.C. Cuz it's easier? [SHEILA, spoken] N.C. Is it, though?
                     F#m
All I know is when I see a crowd

                 G#m
I have to figure out how to enter

        A                                B
And for once I’d like to feel like I was just in the center
[Chorus 3]
              A            E
There are two girls in the john

B               A
One is real far gone

        E
I'm the other one

A
The other one

E
The other one

            A                     E
One girl pretends that she don’t care

    B               A
As she fidgets with her hair

        E
I’m the other one

    E
The other one

G#                     C#m
Who decides who is the other one?

        D             A
Is that all I’ll ever be?

            B                                           E  A  E
Even when I have another other one standing next to me-eee

      A                         E
And I guess I don’t know how to feel about it

A       E   A
Nuh-uh, nuh

            E      A                    E
No, no, no, no-ooh oh, no, ooh, no, no, no, no-ooh oh

            E      A       E

No, no, no (no, no, no)

E
No, no, no, no (no)
N.C. No-ooh oh ooh N.C. No, no, no, no-ooh oh ooh!
