Verse:
DbmGbm I'm sorry if I seem uninterested
DbmAb Or I'm not listenin', or I'm indifferent
DbmGbm Truly I ain't got no business here
DbmAb But since my friends are here, I just came to kick it
DbmGbm But really I would rather be at home all by myself
DbmAb Not in this room with people who don't even care about my well-being
DbmGbm I don't dance, don't ask, I don't need a boyfriend
DbmAb So you can, go back, please enjoy your party
DbmGbm I'll be here, Somewhere in the corner
DbmAb Under clouds of marijuana, With this boy who's hollering
DbmGbm I can hardly hear, Over this music I don't listen to
AmEAm -plays into Chorus-
And I don't wanna get with you, So tell my friends that I'll be over here
Chorus:
GbmDbm Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
AbDbm Oh I asked myself, what am I doin' here?
GbmDbm Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Ab And I can't wait 'til we can break up out
Verse:
DbmGbm Excuse me if I seem a little unimpressed with this
DbmAb An anti-social pessimist, but usually I don't mess with this
DbmGbm And I know you mean only the best and your
DbmAb Intentions aren't to bother me, But honestly I'd rather be
DbmGbm Somewhere with my people, We can kick it and just listen to
DbmAb Some music with a message, like we usually do
DbmGbm And we'll discuss our big dreams, How we plan to take over the planet
DbmAbDbm So pardon my manners, I hope you'll understand that I'll be here
GbmDbmAb Not there in the kitchen, With the girl who's always gossiping about her friends
DbmGbmDbm So tell them I'll be here, Right next to the boy who's throwin' up
Ab Cause he can't take what's in his cup no more
Am -plays into Chorus-
Oh God why am I here?
Chorus:
GbmDbm Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
AbDbm Oh I asked myself, what am I doin' here?
GbmDbm Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Ab And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here
Bridge:
GbmDbm Hours later congregating next to the refrigerator
Ab Some girl talkin' 'bout her haters, she ain't got none
GbmDbm How did it ever come to this? I should've never come to this
E -mute until Dm-
So holla at me, I'll be in the car when you're done
Gbm I'm stand-offish, don't want what you're offerin'
DbmAbDbm And I'm done talkin', awfully sad it had to be that way
Gbm So tell my people when they're ready that I'm ready
DbmAb And I'm standin' by the TV with my beanie low
Am -plays into Chorus-
Yo I'll be over here
Chorus:
GbmDbm Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
AbDbm Oh I asked myself, what am I doin' here?
GbmDbm Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
AbDbm And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here
GbmDbm If you're ready then I'm ready yeah yeah
AbDbm If you're ready then I'm ready yeah yeah
