Standard Tuning
[Capo 2]

Em
Underneath these stairs
Em
I hear the sneers and feel glares of
C
my cousin, my uncle and my aunt.

Em
Can't believe how cruel they are
Em
and it stings my lighting scar
                     C
to know that they'll never ever give me what I want.

Am
I know I don't deserve these
D7
stupid rules made by the Dursleys
G       D      Em
here on Privet drive.

Am
Can't take all of these muggles,
C
but despite all of my struggles,
B7
I'm still alive.
