Might smile, but it ain't that funny

Sing along to the pain, they love it

Life's like a merry-go-round

You got a problem with the fans? There's the door

D                                              A

Ain't no tellin' what'll happen when I pick up the microphone, get the fans together

Been a year and a half, feels like it's gone forever

 G
Ain't no drink in my hand, but you know the buzz is comin'

 G                                Am
Big steps in the game, yeah, the Hulk is running

                       A
My thoughts are funny, it feels like I'm onto something, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
  A                        Em
I'm high off the music, my head's in the clouds

Bm                       F#m
I kinda like it up here; I am not comin' down

G
I'd rather be alone, I am not good in crowds

Am
Which is kinda confusin', I know—been that way since a child

E
They laugh and they tell me I'll never get out

F#m                D
I'm just tryna be me, I am nobody else

G
I don't care what you think, I'm just bein' myself

 A
So I guess for now
[Chorus]
G                Em
I'll just be the outcast

B
I'll just be the outcast

F#m                 G
I'll just be the outcast

G                    A
I guess I'll be the outcast
[Verse 2]
E
Yeah, I guess I don't fit the mold of rap

 E
'Cause I'm respectin' women

F#m
I heard your record, I was laughin at it (Ha, ha, ha)

F#m                            B
Maybe they would like me more if I got a little graphic with it

B                        G                                  F
Nah, I don't wanna blend in with you little rappin' idiots- I'd rather be the outcast

F
I ain't never puttin' out trash

A
I take a hundred and staple it right to my tongue

A                                            E
I always put the money where my mouth's at, agh!

E
Feels good to be here now

                         D
I'm a weird person with a weird crowd

B
What, you don't like that?

 B                                            D#m
That's cool, that's great, that's fine, okay, you can leave now

G
Got a weird smile, but I like it though

G
I paint it on me and I'm walkin' to the microphone

                                A
And put the caution tape around me like I did in Intro 1, yeah!

A
Yeah, they got me reminiscin' now!

E
Yeah, you done know I'm 'bout to go mad

E
Never wanted something so bad

  F#
Goosebumps through the whole track

F#
Ain't no way I'm gonna hold back

                         G
Got me thinkin' that I'm cookin' in a meth lab

G
I don't blow it up in front of my own eyes

G
You look a little lost, you ain't get that?

Am
Comin' from a town where nobody is a rapper

Am                                  D
Guess I never get the memo, must've missed that

 D
Wow!

E
Here I go in my feelings again, I can feel it again

F#m
So I lay in my bed, in my cell with the pen

F#m                      E
And I dwell on my sins, I keep wonderin' when

Em
Time to open the the doors, they don't know who I am

 Em
But I pick up the keys and I put on my Timbs

Em                               A
And I stare at the locks and the tat on my skin

A                       G#m
And I think to myself, "I don't wanna fit in"
[Pre-Chorus]
  A                        Em
I'm high off the music, my head's in the clouds

Bm                       F#m
I kinda like it up here; I am not comin' down

G
I'd rather be alone, I am not good in crowds

Am
Which is kinda confusin', I know—been that way since a child

E
They laugh and they tell me I'll never get out

F#m                D
I'm just tryna be me, I am nobody else

G
I don't care what you think, I'm just bein' myself

 A
So I guess for now
[Chorus]
G                Em
I'll just be the outcast

B
I'll just be the outcast

F#m                 G
I'll just be the outcast

G                    A
I guess I'll be the outcast
[Verse 3]
A     D#m
Yeah, tryna focus

E
Take a knife to my head then I cut it open

E
Take my brain, put it on the floor—tryna figure out my motives

G#
Y'all thought I was an issue when the door was locked

     A
Nah, you should see me when the door opens

E
Every night I can hear voices

  D#m
Put a camera in my face, might turn Joker like I'm Mike Posner

       Em
Always been a little complex

Em
Difficult to process

        F#m                                             Bm
Some of y'all wanna sit around and try to pick apart my bars

Bm                           Em
Here's some lines you could dissect:

Em                G
If I'ma die, I'ma die givin' everything that I have

     D                                   Am
Take a deep breath, I don't need y'all's respect

Am                                           A
I'm a reject kid at recess playin' games with his make-believe friends

      E
Yeah, I don't ever take a night off
Lights off in the room and I write songs
F#m
I might fall into my thoughts once in a while when the mic's off

F#m                                G
You ain't ever seen no drive like mine, better hop outta my car

G
I'm about to unlock my doors

A
You ain't got a seat belt on, better find one

A
Gettin' sick of people tellin' me to smile more

Em
T.S. was a chapter I'll never forget, it was therapy for me

Em
But it's time to turn the page now

B                                     A
Hey, shut up! I'm tryna tell 'em my story!

           Em                         D#
I'm sorry, I wasn't yellin' at y'all, I was talkin' to the voices

          Am
I rip out the drums of the industry's ears for tryin'

                  G
to ignore me and playin' while singin' this chorus
[Chorus]
G                Em
I'll just be the outcast

B
I'll just be the outcast

F#m                 G
I'll just be the outcast

G                    A
I guess I'll be the outcast
[Chorus]
G                Em
I'll just be the outcast

B
I'll just be the outcast

F#m                 G
I'll just be the outcast

G                    A
I guess I'll be the outcast
