Standard (EADGBE)

And I was a boy from school

Helplessly helping all the rules

And there was a boy at school

Hopelessly wrestling all his fools

And there was a girl at school

Blaming all the words she learned from home

Nothing could keep her a child

Long hours, don't you know we tried?

 We tried, but we didn’t have long

 We try, but we don't belong

 We tried, but we didn't have long

 We try but we don't belong

Now I find you on the street

Breaking rules hopelessly we meet

Lives are found but loves are lost

Say goodbye to everything nothing caused

(repeat with other similar verse)

 We tried, but we didn’t have long

 We try, but we don't belong

 We tried, but we didn’t have long

 We try, but we don't belong, ohooohh

I got, I got lost

You said this was the way back

I got, I got lost

You said this was the way-- back

 We tried, but we didn’t have long

 We try, but we don't belong

 We tried, but we didn’t have long

 We try, but we don't belong. . .
