[Verse 1]
       C              G
Please help me God, I feel so alone
    Am
I'm just a kid, I can't take it on my own
     C                          G
I've cried so many tears, yeah, writing this song
Am
Trying to fit in. Where do I belong?
  C                        G
I wake up every day, don't wanna leave my home
   Am
My mamma's askin' me why I'm always alone
    Dm                 Em
Too scared to say, too scared to holler
F*
I'm walking to school with sweat around my collar
    C             G
I'm just a kid, I don't want no stress
   Am
My nerves are bad, my life's a mess
    C                       G
The names you call me, they hurt real bad
  Am
I want to tell my Mom

She's havin' trouble with my Dad
C                            G
  I feel so trapped, there's nowhere to turn

Come to school

Don't wanna fight I wanna learn

So please mister Bully

Tell me what I've done

I know it ain't easy but that's okay
        C
Just be hopeful


[Verse 2]
                       G
Why do you trip at the colour of my skin
    Am
And whether I'm fat or whether I'm thin
    C                  G
You call me loser, you call me a fool
  Am
I ain't got a choice, I gotta go to school
  C                      G
I wish I had an angel to stand by my side
    Am
I'm shaking with fear, I'm so scared inside
Dm                         Em
Doesn't really matter if I ain't got the looks

I didn't ask to be born but now I have to pay
  C*                     G*
