1. Well, I see him every morning in the schoolyard

                                       A

    when the school bell rings,

                            A   

    and when he passes in the hallway,

                    E                                 A

    well, he doesn‘t seem to notice me.

D

    He‘s got a crush on my best friend,

            D                                                                 A

    but she don‘t care, ‘cause she loves someone else,

             A                                               E                                A

    I‘m standing on the outside, not the inside where I wanna be.

2. Just the other day I was praying

                                        A

    he would give me a chance,

       A                                                      E

    hoping he would choose me for his partner

                                     A

    for the high school dance.

D

    I was standing outside the class,

                D                                                 A

    but it wasn‘t  me, but my best friend he asked.

                A                                        E

    I went running back inside, teary eyed,

                                                A

    and left the two of them behind.

(spoken :)  Oh, how I love him, but I can‘t even let him know,

                                              A

    cause he loves my best friend.

                            A

    But she don‘t care, she loves someone else.

A

    And I asked my mama, and she said :

A                          - D

    Love‘s unkind,        love‘s so unkind.

                      - A                                 - E                                     - D - A

    She said :       Just keep it in mind,      ‘cause you may find :

(spoken : )    Oh, why has love to be so ? 

A

    Why did I have to love him so ?
