Lost in the Brass Chords by Various Artists, Lindsay Mendez

[Bb] _ There it goes again, the [Abm] moment's gone, and I'm too lame to speak
[Bb] _
Another wasted _ opportunity _ _
_ Always waiting [Eb] for [Gm] something to happen
But [Eb] _
[F] nothing's gonna happen
_ Not [Bb] for [D] me
[Eb] _ [E] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _
[E] _ _ [Bb] _ [D] _ _ [Eb] _ [E] _ [Bb] _
[D] _ _ [Eb] _ [E] _ [F] _ [D] Buddy, [Eb] _
[E] I'm [Dm] always [Eb] buddy
[E] _ [F] I'm a girl for your [D] _ [Eb] information, forever in [F] this situation
_ Waiting [E] and [F] hoping [D] he'll notice [Eb] how I'm [E] feeling
_ [F] But every time [D] I get him [Gm] near, I fade away, [F] I [Eb] disappear
[Dm] That's me, [D] never [Eb] getting heard
He just smiles and walks away, [C] like I never said [Bb] a _ [F] _ word
[Bb] Oh, [Eb] _
_ _ can [F] anybody hear me?
Am [Bb] I just blowing [Eb] _ air while the whole [F] world marches past?
[Bb] Still I [Eb] go and blow, though I know it gets [F] me nowhere
[D] I [Gm] just get [F] lost, [Bb] lost in the _ [Gm] brass _ _
[Eb] _ _ [F] _ [D] Flutes [Gm] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [Eb] _
_ _ don't [E] sparkle [Dm] quite like [Eb]
batons
[E] _ [F] There's no visual [D] attraction, [C] no [F] stimulus reaction
[Bb] Pretty [Eb] music, _ [Bb] with all the [Eb] pretty that I [E] got
[F] I'm special [D] in a quiet [Gm] way, at least that's [F] what my parents [Dm] say
Whatever, they were never in [Eb] the band
Their hair is turning gray, [C] no, they don't [F] understand _ _ _
[Bb] Oh, [Eb] _ _ _ [Cm] can anybody [F] hear me?
I [Bb] just know, [Eb] I know [Cm] I could sparkle [F] on the grass
But [Dm] my [Gm]
melody _ [Cm] can never [F] be heard clearly
[D] I [Gm] just get _ [Bb] lost, lost, [Eb] [F] lost in the brass
[D] I get [Gm] so [C] lost, lost in [Bb] the [Gm] brass
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Ab] _ Listen, [Db] _ _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ [Eb] background noise
[Ab]
Listen, I make _ [Eb] _ [Ab] music
[Dm] _ _ _ See me, _ _ I'm not one of the [Db] boys I shy, _ _ _ shy, _ _ _ _ shy
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ On my [C] own
[Db] _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ [Db] _ [D] _ _
[Ab] [C] So [Dbm] I don't wear [D] makeup, [Ab] I don't [Dbm] stick my hair [D] up
With [C] some awesome-tastic pink [Bb] barrette
No, I'll never be [Eb] a [Ab] majorette
I'm plain, I'm basic, and I sweat when I get [E] [Eb] nervous
I suck at [C] popularity, _ [Fm] people just [Eb] don't notice me someday
[C] High school's [Db] about to end, and I'll finally find a place
Where this [Bb] woodwind [Eb] doesn't blend _
[Ab] Oh, [Db] _ _ there's a whole world to be [Ab] pursuing
If I could just [Db] get out and leave this all [Ab] here in the [Eb] past
Yeah, they'll [Fm] remember _ [Cm] me, [Db] thinking, gosh, [Eb] how is she [C] doing?
[Fm] And I'll be [Eb] long _ [F] gone
[Bb] Oh, [Eb] _ _ I'll be [F] solo, _ abracado
[Bb] Cutting [Eb] loud and clear, right [F] through the tuba blast
[Dm] Solving her [Gm] _ _ _
[Cm] _ [F] clumsy bass [D] vibrato
I [Gm] won't be [Bb] lost, _ [Eb] lost, lost [F] in the [Ab] brass
And finally they'll see, there's so [F] much more to me at last
I'm [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ [E] _
[Bb] _ _ [Eb] lost, [E] lost [Bb] in the [Eb] brass, [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [E] lost [Bb] in a brass
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] _ _ [D] _ [Gm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
