Chords

Standard

1st verse :
                          G
The last selection in the ballgame
     Em -  D -   C
Does never get a pass
C                           G
 Not appreciated's just his first name
          Em -     D -     C
He's the scapegoat of the class
C                                  G
 There are no friends to cheer him up and
   Em -      D -     C
no girls, no sweet romance
C                       G
 And it's impossible to expand
         Em -        D -    C
when you never got a second chance



Chorus :
       G               Em        D     C       
Do you know who's that guy who's all alone ?
       G              Em           D            C>let ring     
Do you care enough to see, he's in pain and misery ?



2nd verse :
(C)                      G
  He's not going to the school-prom
   Em -    D -     C
He said he had the flue
C                         G
 Trumped-up excuses as he told mom
    Em -  D -       C
I'm safer here with you
C                                  G
 She told her son some day they'll all be
Em -         D -      C
Sorry for mistreating you
C                           G
 Don't be afraid my son and trust me
          Em -              D -     C
You'll be someone they will look up to
