[verse 1] AmDm I'm sorry if I seem uninterested AmE or I'm not listenin' or I'm indifferent AmDm truly I ain't got no business here AmE but since my friends are here I just come to kick it AmDm But really I would rather be at home all by myself AmE not in this room with people who don't even care about my well-being AmDm I don't dance don't ask I don't need a boyfriend AmE So you can go back please enjoy your party AmDm I'll be here Somewhere in the corner AmE under clouds of marijuana with this boy who's hollering AmDm I can hardly hear over this music I don't listen to AmE And I don't wanna go with you so tell my friends that I'll be over here [Chorus] DmAm oh-oh-oh here oh-oh-oh here EAm oh I asked myself what am I doin' here DmAm oh-oh-oh here oh-oh-oh here E and I can't wait until we break up out [verse 2] AmDm Excuse me if I seem a little unimpressed with this AmE an anti-social pessimest but usually I dont mess with this AmDm and I know you only mean the best and your AmE intentions aren't to bother me but honestly I'd rather be AmDm Somewhere with my people we can kick it and just listen to AmE Some music with a message like we usually do AmDm And we'll discuss our big dreams how we plan to take over the planet AmEAm so parden my manners I hope you'll understand that I'll be here DmAmE Not there in the kitchen with that girl who's always gossiping about her friends AmDmAm So tell them I'll be here right next to the boy who's throwin' up E cause he can't take what's in his cup no more Am Oh God why am I here
[chorus] DmAm oh-oh-oh here oh-oh-oh here EAm oh I asked myself what am I doing here DmAm oh-oh-oh here oh-oh-oh here E and I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here
[bridge] DmAm Hours later congrgating next to the refridgerator E some girl talkin' 'bout her haters she ain't got none DmAm how did it ever come to this I should have never come to this E so holla at me I'll be in the car when you're done Dm I'm stand-offish don't want what you're offering AmEAm and i'm done talking awfully sad it had to be that way Dm so tell my people when they're ready that i'm ready AmE and I'm standing by the TV with my beanie low Am Yo I'll be over here
[Chorus] DmAm oh-oh-oh here oh-oh-oh here EAm oh I asked myself what am I doing here DmAm oh-oh-oh here oh-oh-oh here EAm and I can't wait until we break up out of here DmAm if you're ready then I'm ready yeah yeah EAm If you're ready then I'm ready yeah yeah
