[Verse 1]
C C/G
Being born is a curse
C C/G
dying young's worse
F
Finding love
C C/G C
is the meaning of life
G
And in the land of the freedom
G
invisible chains
F
You get what you paid for
C C/G C C/G
Sometimes you pay twice
C C/G
And you go through the motions
C C/G
Confused and alone
F
And you wonder why the truth
C C/G C C/G
Ain’t easy to see
G
And they put you through school
G
Tell you you're grown
F
and then put you to work
C C/G C C7
To buy shit you don't need
[Chorus]
F
What's the matter with being a loner
C G
Even a nobody's somebody too
F C
Even the bums on the street are just dreamers
G C
Facing the crowd no different than you
Bb F C
Ooooh, no different than you
Bb F C
Ooooh, no different than you
[Instrumental]

C C/G
[Verse 2]
C C/G
And if you don't fit the mold
C C/G
They'll call you a failure,
F
You travel too much and
C
They'll say that you're lost
G
And you can take your pick
G
You either came from an ape
F
Or the dad of a magic man
C
up on a cross
C C/G
And loneliness follows
C C/G
it's always there with you
F
Through marriages, mortgages,
C
sickness and health
G
And you can fight your whole life
G
to be who you are
F
Then decide that you'd rather
C C7
be somebody else
[Chorus]
F
What's the matter with being a loner
C G
Even a nobody's somebody too
F C
Even the bums on the street are just dreamers
G C
Facing the crowd no different than you
Bb F C
Ooooh, no different than you
Bb F C
Ooooh, no different than you
Bb F C
Ooooh, no different than you
[Outro]
