D A
hey , don’t write yourself off yet .
G A D
it’s only in your head you feel left out or looked down on .
D A
just try your best , try everything you can .
G A D
and don’t you worry what they tell themselves when you’re away .

chorus
D A
it just takes some time , little girl you’re in the middle of the ride everything ,
G D
everything will be just fine , everything , everything will be all right ( all right )

hey , you know they’re all the same .
G A D
you know you’re doing better on your own , so don’t buy in .
D A
live right now . yeah , just be yourself .
G A D
it doesn’t matter if it’s good enough for someone else .

( repeat chorus )

D A
hey , don’t write yourself off yet .
G A D
it’s only in your head you feel left out or looked down on .
D A
just do your best , do everything you can .
G A D
and don’t you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say .

( repeat chorus x2 )

end on D

i recommend you use these power chords , not the secondary chords .

D x577xxx ( or D2 xx0230 ) A 5776xx ( or A2
G 3554xx ( or 3200xx )

for the D2 and A2 , mute the low E sting with your index finger .
