Introducción:
Am
Am
Dm
I'm sorry if I seem uninterested
Am
E
Or I'm not listenin', or I'm indifferent
Am
Dm
Truly I ain't got no business here
Am
E
But since my friends are here, I just came to kick it
Am
Dm
But really I would rather be at home all by myself
Am
E
Not in this room with people who don't even care about my well-being
Am
Dm
I don't dance, don't ask, I don't need a boyfriend
Am
E
So you can, go back, please enjoy your party
Am
Dm
I'll be here, Somewhere in the corner
Am
E
Under clouds of marijuana, With this boy who's hollering
Am
Dm
I can hardly hear, Over this music I don't listen to
Am
E
Am
And I don't wanna get with you, So tell my friends that I'll be over here
Dm
Am
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
E
Am
Oh I asked myself, what am I doin' here?
Dm
Am
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
E
And I can't wait 'til we can break up out
Am
Dm
Excuse me if I seem a little unimpressed with this
Am
E
An anti-social pessimist, but usually I don't mess with this
Am
Dm
And I know you mean only the best and your
Am
E
Intentions aren't to bother me, But honestly I'd rather be
Am
Dm
Somewhere with my people, We can kick it and just listen to
Am
E
Some music with a message, like we usually do
Am
Dm
And we'll discuss our big dreams, How we plan to take over the planet
Am
E
Am
So pardon my manners, I hope you'll understand that I'll be here
Dm
Am
E
Not there in the kitchen, With the girl who's always gossiping about her friends
Am
Dm
Am
So tell them I'll be here, Right next to the boy who's throwin' up
E
Cause he can't take what's in his cup no more
Am
Oh God why am I here?
Dm
Am
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
E
Am
Oh I asked myself, what am I doin' here?
Dm
Am
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
E
And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here
Dm
Am
Hours later congregating next to the refrigerator
E
Some girl talkin' 'bout her haters, she ain't got none
Dm
Am
How did it ever come to this? I should've never come to this E (mute until Dm)
Dm
I'm stand-offish, don't want what you're offerin'
Am
E
Am
And I'm done talkin', awfully sad it had to be that way
Dm
So tell my people when they're ready that I'm ready
