Em I've watched the children come and go A Em A late long march into spring A Em I sit and watch those children A Jump in the tall grass Em Leap the sprinkler A Walk in the ground Em A Bicycle clothespin spokes Em A The sound the smell of swingset hands D I will try to sing a happy song D I'll try and make a happy game to play Come play with me I whispered to my new found friend Tell me what it's like to go outside I've never been Tell me what it's like to just go outside I've never been And I never will I'm not supposed to be like this I'm not supposed to be like this But it's okay Hey those kids are looking at me I told my friend myself Those kids are looking at me They're laughing and they're running over here They're laughing and they're running over here What do I do? What can I do? What should I do? What do I say? What can I say? I said I'm no supposed to be like this Let's try to find a happy game to play Let's try to find a happy game to play I'm not supposed to be like this But it's okay...okay | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  Em  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
