Misc Originals – Banyan Bean - Strumming Through The Pain (Guitar)

G                                D
In the schoolyard, they call him names,

                            C
He walks alone, feeling the shame,

           Em                    D
But in his heart, he knows their wrong,

                                G
That's why I wrote this country song.

     G                                       D
He’s strumming through the pain, finding his voice,

                                       C
Turning all his hurt into something of choice,

           Em                D
With every note, he feels so free,

D                          G
This boy in the shadows is me.

G                                 D
Late at night, he sits out on his bed,

                                    C
Words in his head that he wishes he said,

              Em                    D
He’s tired of feeling like he don’t belong,

                                G
That's why I wrote this country song.

     G                                       D

                                       C

           Em                D

This boy in the shadows is me.

G                                     D
So if you feel lonely, just pick up a pen,

                                    C
Write your own story, let the music begin,

                   Em                         D
Your gonna have to wait, it might be nice and long

                                G

No more hiding, he’ll stand proud,

                                       C
With a crowd around him, he’ll finally see,

                Em                        D
The boy who was lost is who he’s meant to be.
