Em D C
Standing on the outside looking in
Em D C D
Don't feel any different it's the way it's always been
G D C
In the world the headless well dressed mannequins
Em D C
You're always standing on the outside looking in
[Verse]
Em D C
I remember when you taught me how to bathe
Em D
In the roadside motel bathtub
C D
I watched you shave your legs
G D C
You swore that we would take this to our graves
Em D C D
I remember when you taught me how to bathe
[Verse]
C D
You said only I can make ya happy
C D
But I'm not gonna tell you how
C
I don't want this to last forever

Only now, only now
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Em D C
There's a place she longs to be she'll never go
Em D C D
Took a picture out the window with the camera on her phone
G D C
Got off one more time then put back on her clothes
Em D C
There's a place she longs to be she'll never go
[Verse]
Em D C
Now I'm standing on the outside looking in
Em D C D
In a world of paper tigers and imaginary friends
G D C
It's a shame I can't be bothered to pretend
Em D C D
When I'm standing at the outside looking in
[Verse]
C D
I told you how I planned on dying
C D
But you know I always joke around
C
I'm up for never saying never
D
At least for now, at least for now
[Verse]
G C G
Because I could never make you happy
C G
But I know just how to calm you down
C
We don't have to see the future
D
Only now, only now
