C Am Em F
[Verse 1]
C Am Em F C
Understand the things I say, don't turn away from me
C Am Em F C
Cause I spent half my life out there, you wouldn't disagree
C Am Em F C
D'you see me, d'you see, do you like me, do you like me standing there
C Am Em F C
D'you notice, d'you know, do you see me, do you see me, does anyone care
[Chorus 1]
C Am Em F C
Unhappiness, where's when I was young, and we didn't give a damn
C Am Em F C
'Cause we were raised, to see life as fun and take it if we can
C Am Em F C
My mother, my mother she’d hold me, she’d hold me, when I was out there
C Am Em F C
My father, my father, he liked me, oh he liked me, does anyone care
[Verse 2]
C Am Em F C
Understand what I've become, it wasn't my design
C Am Em F C
And people everywhere think some-thing better than I am
C Am Em F C
But I miss you, I miss 'cause I liked it, 'cause I liked it, when I was out here
C Am Em F C
D'you know this, d'you know, you did not find me, you did not find, does anyone care
[Chorus 2]
C Am Em F C
Unhappiness, where's when I was young, and we didn't give a damn
C Am Em F C
'Cause we were raised, to see life as fun and take it if we can
C Am Em F C
My mother, my mother she’d hold me, she’d hold me, when I was out there
C Am Em F C
My father, my father, he liked me, oh he liked me, does anyone care
