         A
I don't mind,
 C#m              B                      A
Letting you down easy, but just give it time
      C#m                  B                       A
If it don't hurt now well just wait, just wait a while
                    C#m         B       A
You're not the big fish in the pond no more
         C#m           B
You are what they're feeding on
     A
So what are you gonna do
          C#m                      A   C#m
When the world don't orbit around you?
    A
So what are you gonna do
         C#m                       A   C#m
When the world don't orbit around you?

Living in the real world
          A
Ain't it good?
  C#m B     A   C#m  B
Being all alone

Where you're from
You might be the one who's runnin' things
Well you could ring anybody's bell
and get what you want
You see it's easy to ignore trouble
When you're livin' in a bubble

So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you?
(Mm-mm-mm-ah-ah-ah)
So what are you gonna do
When nobody wants to fool with you?
(Oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ah)

Chorus

          A
Ain't it good to be on your own?
         C#m                     B
Ain't it fun you can't count on no one?
          A
Ain't it good to be on your own?
         C#m                     B
Ain't it fun you can't count on no one?
          A
Ain't it fun?
C#m    B       A        C#m B
Living in the real world

Don't go crying to your mama

Ain't it fun? Ain't it fun?
Baby, now you're one of us
Ain't it fun? Ain't it fun? Ain't it fun?
