[Ab]
[Eb] He hid behind his lunchbox, [Fm] everyday at that bus stop, where [Ab] some big ol' boys got their
kicks, kickin' him [Ab] around.
He was scared as hell of that recess bell, [Fm] that playground's more like a battlefield,
and he knew he'd get himself killed if he didn't back [Eb] down.
[Fm] With black in his eye [Eb] and blood in his mouth, [Ab] on the way home, all he thought about, is
we could've been teammates, we could've been friends, [Fm] you could've made a difference, you
could've stepped in, [Db] if you didn't like me, you should've just let me be.

[Ab] she was killing herself, she died [Eb] fitting in.
[Fm] The diary she kept [Eb] underneath her bed, [Db] hid all those words [Bb] that she never said.
[Db] We could've been sisters, cheering at the games, [Fm] we could've gone to prom, shared the
same limousine, if you didn't like me, you should've [Ab] just let me [Eb]
be.
But [Db] no, [Ab]
you had to pick on me.
