Aj:
Am
Sitting in my room feelin' sorry For myself - I can't feel worse
          G       F                   Am
Well what else? I wonder what I could say
   Am
To stop the voices taunting, laughing
                                                G
The way they're acting, I wish they'd just disappear

The joke is always on me (it's always on me)
