I already know what it’s like to
1° 7 1° 2°
be the loser
5 5° 2° 4° 3° 3° 1° 2°
I should find out what it’s like to
1° 1° 7 1° 2°
not be the loser
1° 1° 2°
Or the geek
1° 1° 7 1° 2°
Or the… whatever
7 7 5 6 6 7 6 5
Think I felt inconsequential
5 5 3 5 5 1
Since middle school began
7 7 5 6 6 7 6 5
I knew I had no potential
3 5 3 5 6 6
To be the leading man
5 7 5 6 6 7 6 5
But based on how today’s going
5 5 3 5 5 1
I’m finally gaining ground
7 7 5 6 6 7 6 5
I even got some blood flowing
5 5 3 5 3 5 6 6
With no computer screen around
5 6 6
Which was cool
5 3 5 6 6 6
But what really felt good
3 5 3 5 6 6
Is doing something that
3 5 3 5 6 6 6
I never thought that I could
2° 5 2° 5 1° 7 6
It’s not only school that’s rough
2° 5 2° 5 6° 7 5
Being lonely’s stupid tough
2° 5 2° 5 1° 7 6
Now I think I’ve had enough
5 3 5 5 5 5 5 5 3 7 6 5
Of being the loser, the geek or whatever
2° 5 2° 5 1° 7 6
Michael thinks that weird is rad
5 2° 5 2° 5 6 7 5
But feeling weird just makes me sad
5 2° 5 2° 5 1° 7 6
And I deserve to not feel bad
7 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 7 6 5
From being the loser, the geek or whatever
5 5 2° 5 5 5 5
Sick of being the loser,
5 5 5 7 6 5 6
the geek or whatever, yeah!
5° 3° 2°
Whoa
5 5 5 5 5 5
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
5° 3° 2°
Whoa
5 5 5 5
Uh-huh, uh-huh
7 7 5 6 6 7 6 5
Dad taught me, “Follow your instincts!
6 5 6 6 7
Trust your inner voice!
7 7 7 5° 5° 3° 2°
Listen to your heart!” and such
7 7 7 5 6 6 7 6 5
My whole life I’ve followed my instincts
5 6 5
Well guess what?
5 6 6 6 7 5
My instincts suck so much!
7 7 5 6 6 7 6 5
So now I’m taking directions
6 5 5 5 3
from another voice
7 7 7 5 6 6 7 6 5
If my instincts have an objection
7 7 7 5 6 6
Then that means I’m making
5 6 5
the right choice
5 2° 5 2° 5 1° 7 6
Behaving this way feels bizarre
5 5 2° 5 2° 5 6 7 5
But if things keep up the way they are
5 2° 5 2° 5 1° 7 6
Then soon enough I’ll get real far
7 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 7 6 5
From being the loser, the geek, or whatever
5 2° 5 2° 5 1° 7 6
If Brooke can look me in the eye
5 2° 5 2° 5 6 7 5
Like I’m some normal handsome guy
5 2° 5 2° 5 1° 7 6
I owe it to myself to try
7 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 7 6 5
Not being the loser, the geek or whatever
5 5 2° 5 5 2° 5
Sick of being the loser,
5 2° 5 5 3 5 6
the geek or whatever, yeah!
5° 3° 2°
Whoa
5 5 5 5 5 5
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
5° 3° 2°
Whoa
5 5 5 5
Uh-huh, uh-huh!
5 2° 5° 4° 3° 1° 1° 7 2°
Prompt me, command me, and I’ll obey
5 2° 5° 4° 3° 1° 1° 1° 7 2°
I have the bandwidth to do as you say
5 5 2° 5° 4° 1° 1° 1° 7 2°
Especially now, since I clearly see
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7
The problem has always been me
2° 5 2°
Take a breath
5 1° 7 6
And get prepared
5 2° 5 2° 5 6 7 5
But still, I’m just a little scared
5 2° 5 2°
For who gets cut
5 1° 7 6
And who gets spared
7 5 5 5 5
When I’m the cool dude,
5 5 5 5 7 6 5
the hero, or whatever
2° 2° 2° 2° 5 1° 7 6
If Christine likes me in the end
5 2° 5 2° 5 6 7 5
Will I be able to pretend
5 2° 5 2° 5 1° 7 6
I didn’t fail my one real friend
5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 7 6 5
But that’s the shit I normally would think
5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 7 6 5
Get over it, get priorities in sync
5 6 6 6 5 6 7 6
Just mute the voice inside your head
5 5 2° 5 5 5 5 2° 5 2° 3° 2° 3° 2°
And connect to another source instead
3° 2° 5 2° 5 1° 7 6
I’ve earned the right to selfishly
5 2° 5 2° 5 6 7 5
Be all for one and one for me
5 2° 5 2° 5 1° 7 6
I’ve wasted all eternity
7 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 3 5
Just being the loser, the geek or whatever
5 2° 5 2° 5 1° 7 6
I’m steady as the games begun
5 2° 5 2°
I’m ready, set
5 6 7 5
I’m player one
5 2° 5 2° 5 6 6 7
The future’s now, I’m freaking done
7 5 5 5 5 5
With being the weirdo
5 5 7 6 5 5
The wuss, the underdog
5 5 5 5 5 5 5 7 6 5 5
Being the misfit, the old-school analog
5 5 5 5 5 5 5 7 6
Being the oddball, the weakling freak
6 6 6 6 6 7
The failure, the sucker,
7 5° 5° 5°
the “please don’t speak!”
6 1° 1° 1° 7 1° 1° 7 1° 7 2°
Oh, I can hardly wait for the moment when
3° 3° 2° 3° 3° 2° 3° 3° 4° 3° 2°
I’m not the loser, the geek or whatever
2° 3° 3° 2° 3° 3° 2° 3° 4° 3° 2°
Oh, I’m not the loser, the geek, no never
2° 3° 3° 2° 3° 3° 2° 3° 3° 4° 3° 2°
No, I’m not the loser, the geek or whatever
3° 2°
Ever
