C                                   F
Inside jokes that I never know, but I
Still laugh until I cry
C                                         F
Group photos but I'm standing off to the side
I'm just camera shy

       C                    Cmaj7
Always at the birthday parties
(Always at the birthday parties)
            F             Fm
But never close to anybody

Chorus:
            C
I've been chosen last since the kindergarten
     Cmaj7
Walk in the grass and it's disregarded
F
Fast walk to the lunch table
Fm
And pack up before I'm ready to go
          C
I don't speak my mind, I just sit and listen
Cmaj7
I'm there on time 'cause they won't know I'm missing
F
Sometimes I would rather stay home
Fm
Than show up to be ignored and alone

Carpool everywhere, but there's never room
For me to go too
Ride my bike like all of us used to do
Oh, I don't have a clue

Why I'm at the birthday parties
(Why I'm at the birthday parties)
When I'm not close to anybody

Chorus - x2
