Verse 1
(Sounds nice palm-muted with downstrokes)
C                             G
Hey, don't write yourself off yet
                           F                            C
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
C                                      G
Just try your best, try everything you can
                              F                            C
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away


Chorus
        C
It just takes some time
                                 G
Little girl you're in the middle of the ride
                            F
Everything, everything will be just fine
                            C
Everything, everything will be alright, alright


Verse 2
Hey, you know they're all the same
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in
Live right now, yeah, just be yourself
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else


Verse 3
Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
Just do your best, do everything you can
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say
