Below are the lyrics and the chords to the song if you want to sing and play along.
Verse 1
Can you tell me how it goes? (B, B D#7 bass, E)
When he leaves you on the road (G#m, D#m, F#)
Will you tell me how great he is? (B, B D#7 bass, E)
When to him you’re on a numbered list (G#m, D#m, F#)
Does he listen to your pleads? (B, B D#7 bass, E)
Or does he just ignore your needs? (G#m, D#m, F#)
Does he give you warm hugs? (B, B D#7 bass, E)
Or does he turn around and shrugs? (G#m, D#m, F#)
So tell me does he take care of you? (B, B D#7 bass, E) ^^
If he don’t pay the revenue (G#m, D#m, F#)
Does he keep you well fed? (B, B D#7 bass, E)
If all he gives you is loaves of bread (G#m, D#m, F#)
Is he at all concerned with your well-being? (F#, G#m, E)
If all he ever thinks of you as a useless thing (F#, G#m, E)
Does he help you to accomplish your big dreams? (F#, G#m, E)
Or does he pull you back and lowers your self-esteem? (F#, G#m, E)…
Chorus 1
Even though you shut many doors in my face (B)
And you made me feel like I am out place (F#)
I’ll just live with it, since I’m always the outcast (G#m, E)
You treat me like I’m only an object in space (B)
And you’d rather take him on a wild chase (F#)
It’s okay because I’m always just your outcast (G#m, E)
Instrumental
Verse 2
Tell me how long it has been since (B, B D#7 bass, E)
You felt like princess with your prince? (G#m, D#m, F#)
Can you recall if he ever once, (B, B D#7 bass, E)
Gave you a smile or shared some fun? (G#m, D#m, F#)
Surely you won’t ever lie to him cause he’s perfect (F#, G#m, E)
Even though you’ve told me several of them like I’m handpicked (F#, G#m, E)
I know it must be hard for you to think of him otherwise (F#, G#m, E)
But have you searched long enough to see if anything else flies? (F#, G#m, E)
Chorus 2
Even though you push me away from your face (B)
And you make me feel like I’m some sort of disgrace (F#)
I’ll just live with it, since I’m always the outcast (G#m, E)
Even though I always finish the race, (B)
Yet you still choose him over me, a replace (F#)
It’s okay because, I’m always just your outcast (G#m, E)
Bridge
You have taken me, for granted, who knows why? (D, A, E)
I’ve just been truthful, helpful, and merciful to you (D, A, B)
I’m not perfect, I never claimed to be, though I’ve tried (D, A, E)
But I will always be right there by your side (D, A, E, F#)
