Verse 1:

    D5                     A5
Hey, don't write yourself off yet
                           G5                          D5
It's only in your head you feel left out, or looked down on
                                      A5
Just try your best, try everything you can
                         G5                         D5
and don't you what they tell themselves, when you're away


Chorus:

         D5
It just takes some time
                                 A5
little girl you're in the middle of the ride
                           G5
everything everything will be just fine
                           D5
everything everything will be alright


Verse 2:

     D5                      A5
Hey, you know they're all the same
                             G5                       D5
you know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in
                        A5
live right now, just be yourself
                            G5                      D5
it doesn't matter if that's good enough, for someone else


Chorus: (x2)

         D5
It just takes some time
                                 A5
little girl you're in the middle of the ride
                           G5
everything everything will be just fine
                           D5
everything everything will be alright

(from the high 19 till the 12 is fast up and down picking, I think it is 6 picks at 
each, but it may be 8, play it how you think.)

Verse 3:

     D5                      A5
hey, don't write yourself off yet
                            G5                          D5
it's only in your head you feel left out, or looked down on
                             A5
do your best, do everything you can
                                 G5                    D5 
and don't you worry what their bitter hearts, are gonna say


Chorus:

         D5
It just takes some time
                                 A5
little girl you're in the middle of the ride
                           G5
everything everything will be just fine
                           D5
everything everything will be alright



that is the whole song, pretty simple, just one riff, you have to remember to use 
palm muting on the verses and not on the chorus, and if you can't manage the solo, 
get a mate to play it!  any corrections or praise, send to
