Fm
Your happy friends
              A#m
Call you depressing
Fm                             A#m
Cause you wonder why we're all alive
Fm
Your downer friends
                 A#m
Think you’re too happy, too happy
Fm                         A#m
Cause you still celebrate sometimes

Your hippie friends call you a sellout
’Cause you buckle down and get a job
You still get high
but you're no hippie, no hippie
But all your work friends think you are


  A#m                 Fm          C#
I guess the last time you had any fun
    A#m               Fm         C#
Was way back when you weren't anyone

Chorus:
    C#                   G#
So goodbye Ordinaryish People
G#                           A#m
We had quite the run didn’t we though
        C#            D#       G#
But you gotta be somebody sometime
G#                         A#m
I don't wanna pack up and leave though
            C#           D#     G#
When you're nobody then nobody minds

Your pretty friends, they call you ugly
Your ugly friends, they call you vain
No, you're not stupid, you're just special, special
Well, that’s what all your smart friends say

I guess the last time you had any fun
(Oh, the last time you had any fun)
Was way back when you weren’t anyone
(Way back when you weren't anyone)

Chorus:
So goodbye, ordinaryish people
We had quite the run, didn’t we, though?
But you gotta be somebody sometime
I don't wanna pack up and leave, though
When you're nobody, then nobody minds

Your attention, please
Please yell if you're paying attention
I don’t wanna pack up and leave though
When you're nobody, then nobody minds
