Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
[Verse 1]
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
I'm at the bottom of the list, I'm not the type to take a risk.
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
You see my name and ask: who's this, perfect example of it is what it is.
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
My only goal's to do no wrong whichever is I'll go along.
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
Bury my thoughts in on my songs 'cause my music is where I belong.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Dm G
And if we meet eyes, look away and pass by,
Cmaj7 Am
I'm not worth the time, go with the flow.
Dm G
'Cause I'll make sure that I don't stand out,
Cmaj7 Am
'cause I'm afraid to go and break the status quo.
[Chorus]
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
I'm mediocre, I'm a bore, I'm the first knight to die in a war.
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
A side character, nothing more, if not extraordinary, what am I here for?
[Verse 2]
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
You on your worst day is my best, I look at you and I'm depressed.
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
Stuck in the cycle of a medieval quest, nah, I'm really just a mess.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Dm G
Yeah, I make sure that I don't stand out
Cmaj7 Am
'cause I'm afraid to go and break the status quo.
Dm G
'Cause when I'll choose to try to word out all my rhymes,
Cmaj7 Am
I still don't get the lead for the whole show.
N.C.
Ay, hehe, sorry
[Chorus]
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
I'm mediocre, I'm a bore, I'm the first knight to die in a war.
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
A side character, nothing more, if not extraordinary, what am I here for?
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
I'm mediocre, I'm a bore, I'm the first knight to die in a war.
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
A side character, nothing more, if not extraordinary, what am I here for?
[Verse 3]
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
If this were a movie then I'd understudy the fifth extra crossing the street.
Dm G Cmaj7 Am
Wish I were the main girl, the center of your world, a wish is a dream that can't be.
[Outro]
Dm G
I'm sorry that I'm me, I'm sorry that I'm me,
Cmaj7 Am
I'm sorry that I'm positively negative and weak.
Dm G
But I'm happy that I'm me, I'm glad that I am me,
Cmaj7 Am
I'd rather be the supporting role. Who's pretty cute and meek?
I'm at the bottom of the list
I'm not the type to take a risk
You see my name and ask, "who's this?"
Perfect example of it is what it is
My only goal's to do no wrong
Whichever is I'll go along
Bury my thoughts in all my songs ('cause)
My music is where I belong
And if we meet eyes
Look away and pass by
I'm not worth the time, go with the flow
Cus I make sure that I
Don't stand out cus I'm
Afraid to go and break the status quo
I'm mediocre, I'm a bore
I'm the first knight to die in a war
A side character, nothing more
If not extraordinary, what am I here for?
You on your worst day is my best
A look at you and I'm depressed
Stuck in a cycle of a medieval quest
Nah, I'm really just a mess
Yeah I make sure that I
Don't stand out cus I'm
Afraid to go and break the status quo
Cus when I'll choose to try
To word out all my rhymes
I still won't get the lead for the whole show
Ay, hehe, sorry
I'm mediocre, I'm a bore
I'm the first knight to die in a war
A side character, nothing more
If not extraordinary, what am I here for?
I'm mediocre, I'm a bore
I'm the first knight to die in a war
A side character, nothing more
I'm not extraordinary, what am I here for
If this were a movie
Then I'd understudy
The fifth extra crossing the street
Wish I were the main the girl
The center of your world
A wish is a dream that can't be
I'm sorry that I'm me
I'm sorry that I'm me
I'm sorry that I'm positively negative and weak
But I'm happy that I'm me
I'm glad that I am me
I'd rather be the supporting role who's pretty cute and meek
