Verse 
F#              A               D 
Standing on the outside looking in 
               E9                          D                
Don't feel any different it's the way it's always been 
E        A7                            Esus               
In the world the headless well dressed mannequins 
D             F#m             C               D7 
You're always standing on the outside looking in 

Verse 
    F#m7                    E         D 
I remember when you taught me how to beg 
           F#            E 
In the roadside motel bathtub 
   D7                         A7 
I watched you shave your legs 
                        E                D 
You swore that we would take this to our graves 
    D/F#                      E9      D     E7sus 
I remember when you taught me how to beg 

Verse 
E7                          D      E9 
You said only I can make ya happy 
            E              D 
But I'm not gonna tell you how 
E7                        E7sus   D 
I don't want this to last forever 
     Bm7          E 
Only now, only no-ow 

Instrumental: |F#m7 |E D |A |A |G#m7 | 

Verse 
G#              F#9             E            D 
There's a place she longs to be she'll never go 
        F#m                   D                      E 
Took a picture out the window with the camera on her phone 
                   A                         D 
Got off one more time then put back on her clothes 
C/E                             E            D 
There's a place she longs to be she'll never go 

Verse 
             F#         E               D 
Now I'm standing on the outside looking in 
A#/D  F#            E9             D     Em 
In a world of paper tigers and imaginary friends 
        A               E7             D 
It's a shame I can't be bothered to pretend 
              F#m                        D   Em7 
When I'm standing at the outside looking in 

Verse 
  E                            D      E7 
I told you how I planned on dying 
                      D           E7 
But you know I always joke around 
E                       D7 
I'm up for never saying never 
         D/F#    Bm   B7           E 
At least for now,     at least for now 

Verse 
A                           D        F#m A 
Because I could never make you happy 
A7                              Dmaj9    A 
But I know just how to calm you down 
                         Dmaj9  D 
We don't have to see the future 
     Bsus  Bm7      E9 
Only now,      only now
