Intro: A- (strum the A string until the end of the verse)

There's a crowd inside
Free in spirit
Nothing dazzling
In appearance
We do the best with
With what we have
No, no, no
We aren't models
We aren't actors
We are those who sit up in the rafters
After all,
that's where
You will find the action

There's a place for you and all my friends

When the sun falls down a new day begins

Where feeling good 
         F#m        E
Is good enough
       A               D
Take a left on College Avenue
    F#m                        E
And call your friends they can all come too
        A                    D
