Tuning: Standard

I might as well be a Japanese exchange student
        Am                                        F
Cause' people want to know me, right when I show up
               C                         G
But then the thrill wears off, and then I'm alone
  Am                    
until Beyonce rolls through town,
     F
and they think that I can call and score a ticket
When I can't.

       C  G          F                        Am
Cause' I don't know her, like you don't know me
          G    Am              F
It's a lonely world when it's all that you see
C           G     F                        Am
It doesn't matter if I got a good heart in me
This gets lonely.

Until Paul McCartney rolls through town,
      F
and they think that I can get in on the guest list,
When I can't.

       C  G          F                      Am
Cause' I don't know him like you don't know me.
          G     Am             F
It's a lonely thing when it's all that you see.

Last year I got the cover,
    Am                   F
my phone wouldn't stop ringing and ringing.
       C               G          Am               F
They called more than mother and that is saying something
       C                G           F
Well lately it’s been quiet and my phone just picks up dust calls
                D/F#
“It’s all about who you know”
         F                           G
but you don’t really have to know anyone

So be nice to the Japanese exchange students,
         Am                                            F

               C                    G
you may have found yourself in a similar place
            Am                                   F             G             
Where you found you looked around and just saw loads of empty space.

                            C   G          F
And you were thinking how you don't know them,
                     Am
like they don't know you.
         G       Am          F
It's a lonely feeling after all that you do.
C                  G                Am         F
Got a good heart, got a good soul, what must I do to prove it anymore?
C                 G          
I got friends in high and low places,
Am                F
and it's all the same to me.

C            G        Am           F
I love the Japanese, I love the Japanese,
C            G            Am-F
those from Japan and overseas.
C            G       Am                 F
I love the Japanese, do you love the Japanese?
C            G        Am  F
Those from Japan and overseas,
C            G          Am      G   C
Those from Japan and overseas, like me.
