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

[Ab] She was killin' herself, just died of fear.
[Eb]
[Fm] The diary she kept [Eb] underneath her bed, [Db] hid all those words that [Ebm] she never said.
[Db] We could've been sisters, cheered at the games.
[Fm] We could've known from, shared the same limousine.
[Db] 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.
[Db]
[Fm]
[Db]
[Eb]
[Db] It's time to make a stand, take responsibility.

that might as [F] well read.
