What About Me

F     D     F     C

C               Em
Well, there's a little boy waiting
       F                      C
at the counter of the corner shop.
          Am                  Em
He's been waiting down there, waiting
                   F
half the day, they never ever see him
     G
from the top.
        Am             F
He gets pushed around, knocked to the ground.
   D                       F
He gets to his feet and he says

           C
What about me?
    Em
It isn't fair,
  F                    Dm
I've had enough, now I want my share.
          C
Can't you see?
    Em
I wanna live,
    F                           C
but you just take more than you give.

C               Em                          F                    C
Well, there's a pretty girl serving at the counter of the corner shop.
           Am                  Em
She's been waiting back there, waiting for her dreams.
           F                           G
Her dreams walk in and out, they never stop.
             Am              F
Well, she's not too proud to cry out loud.
    D                           F
She runs to the street and she screams

           C
What about me?
    Em
It isn't fair,
  F                    Dm
I've had enough, now I want my share.
          C
Can't you see?
    Em
I wanna live,
    F                           C
but you just take more than you give.

C Em       Am                           G
      So take a step back and see the little people.
 F                    D7
They may be young but they're the ones
              C   Em      Am
that make the big people big.
     G            F
So listen as they whisper,
           C
what about me?
            Em                              F             C
And now I’m standing on the corner, all the world's gone home.
  Am              Em
Nobody's changed, nobody's been saved,
F                G
and I'm feeling cold and alone.
  Am               F
I guess I'm lucky, I smile a lot,
     D                   F              G
but sometimes I wish for more than I've got.

           C
What about me?
    Em
It isn't fair,
  F                    Dm
I've had enough, now I want my share.

Can't you see?
    Em
I wanna live,

F                            C         F
you just take more than you give.
