   C#              F#
I woke up, it was seven
 G#           F#
Waited till eleven
         C#              F#           G#  F#
Just to figure out that no one would call.
             C#             F#
I think I've got a lot of friends
    G#                  F#
But I don't hear from them.
C#              F#         G#
What's another night all alone?
              D#m           F#         G#
When you're spending every day on your own
And here it goes

Chorus:
C#          F#      G#
I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare
C#          F#         G#            F#
I'm just a kid and I know that it's not fair
D#m           F#         C#           G#
Nobody cares cause I'm alone and the world
D#m             F#       G#
Is havin' more fun than me
   C#
Tonight

And maybe when the night is dead,
I'll crawl into my bed
I'm staring at these four walls again
I'll try to think about the last
time I had a good time
Everyone's got somewhere to go
And they're gonna leave me here on my own
And here it goes

Chorus

F#
What the hell is wrong with me?
 G#              C#
Dont fit in with anybody
F#                        F# C# F#
How did this happen to me?
F#                           G#
Wide awake, I'm bored and I can't fall asleep
    D#m                               G#
And every night is the worst night ever

I'm just a kid, I'm just a kid
I'm just a kid, I'm just a kid, yeah, I'm just a kid
I'm just a kid, I'm just a kid
And I'm just a kid, I'm just a kid, I'm just a kid

Chorus:
I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid, I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares, 'cause I'm alone and the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world
I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid, I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares, 'cause I'm alone and the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world
Nobody cares, 'cause I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me tonight

I'm all alone tonight
Nobody cares tonight
'Cause I'm just a kid tonight
