Janine Berdin - The Side Character

Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
Dm G Cmaj7 Am

[Verse 1]
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
I’m at the bottom of the list, I’m not the type to take a risk.
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
You see my name and ask: who’s this, perfect example of it is what it is.
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
My only goal’s to do no wrong whichever is I’ll go along.
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
Bury my thoughts in on my songs ‘cause my music is where I belong.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Dm G
And if we meet eyes, look away and pass by,
Cmaj7 Am
I’m not worth the time, go with the flow.
Dm G
‘Cause I’ll make sure that I don’t stand out,
Cmaj7 Am
‘cause I’m afraid to go and break the status quo.

[Chorus]
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
I’m mediocre, I’m a bore, I’m the first knight to die in a war.
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
A side character, nothing more, if not extraordinary, what am I here for?

[Verse 2]
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
You on your worst day is my best, I look at you and I’m depressed.
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
Stuck in the cycle of a medieval quest, nah, I’m really just a mess.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Dm G
Yeah, I make sure that I don’t stand out
Cmaj7 Am
‘cause I’m afraid to go and break the status quo.
Dm G
‘Cause when I’ll choose to try to word out all my rhymes,
Cmaj7 Am
I still don’t get the lead for the whole show.
N.C.
Ay, hehe, sorry

[Chorus]
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
I’m mediocre, I’m a bore, I’m the first knight to die in a war.
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
A side character, nothing more, if not extraordinary, what am I here for?
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
I’m mediocre, I’m a bore, I’m the first knight to die in a war.
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
A side character, nothing more, if not extraordinary, what am I here for?

[Verse 3]
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
If this were a movie then I’d understudy the fifth extra crossing the street.
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
Wish I were the main girl, the center of your world, a wish is a dream that can’t be.

[Outro]
Dm G
I’m sorry that I’m me, I’m sorry that I’m me,
Cmaj7 Am
I’m sorry that I’m positively negative and weak.
Dm G
But I’m happy that I’m me, I’m glad that I am me,
Cmaj7 Am
I’d rather be the supporting role. Who’s pretty cute and meek?
