VERSE 1 I’ve learned to slam on the brake
A/C# D E
Before I even turn the key
A/C# D E
Before I make the mistake
A/C# D F#m E
Before I lead with the worst of me
A/C# D E
Give them no reason to stare
A/C# D E
No slipping up if you slip away
A/C# D E
So I got nothing to share
A/C# D F#m E
No, I got nothing to say

Bm F#m E
PRE-CH Step out, step out of the sun
A/C# D
If you keep getting burned
Bm F#m E
Step out, step out of the sun
A/C# D
Because you’ve learned
E |E
Because you’ve learned

F#m D
CHORUS On the outside, always looking in
A E
Will I ever be more than I’ve always been?
F#m D
‘Cause I’m tap, tap, tapping on the glass
A E
I’m waving through a window
 F#m D
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
A E
So I wait around for an answer to appear
F#m D
While I’m watch, watch, watching people pass
A E C#7/F F#m
I’m waving through a window, oh
D A E D Esus E
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me?

And no one tells you where you went wrong
