Am
Sitting in my room feelin' sorry For myself -
I can't feel worse
          G        F                   Am
Well what else? I wonder what I could say
    Am
To stop the voices taunting, laughing
                                                 G
The way they're acting, I wish they'd just disappear
     F
The joke is always on me (it's always on me)

  C            G/B   Am         G              F
Why don't they understand That we are all the same
And we all feel lost at times
  C           G/B    Am
Why don't they understand
      G              F
That someone else's pain, Is not for gain

Chorus:
  C                      G/B
Sticks and stones won't break my soul
     Am                    G
Get out of the way, I'm invincible
   F                                            C
Throw them down 'Cause the one you hurt's not around
     G/B        Fm
Not around It's not your place - honestly

In the end, you'll be the victim
You're the one who has to live with yourself
And when you're reaching for help
There'll be no one, there's no one (There's no one)

Why don't you understand
That we are all the same?
And we all feel lost at times
Why don't you understand
That someone else's pain
Is not for gain?

Chorus:
Sticks and stones won't break my soul
Get out of the way; I'm invincible
Throw them down
'Cause the one you hurt's not around (Not around)
Not around (Not around)
It's not your place
Honestly

A#                               C
I won't live in chains I've got somethin' to give
         A#         G#              C
I won't play these games Yeah, I'd rather live
               A#
You know I've come too far - to be like you are

Why don't you understand
That we are all the same?

Chorus:
Sticks and stones won't break my soul
Get out of the way; I'm invincible
Throw them down
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la

Throw them down
'Cause the one you want's not around (Not around)
Not around (Not around)
Not around anymore
It's not your place
Honestly
