E/A              Em           
All alone by the table of food
         D        G           D
   in my wrinkled suit and my borrowed tie
E/A               Em              
 Only thinking of something to say
          D      G         D
   in the moment after the girl goes by
G         G/F            G/E            G/Eb           
 Everyone else is having fun or else pretending to
G       G/F           G/E            G/Eb           
 I eat another cru-di-te** 


C       G/B
 I quit, I'm done
      Am                         D
 'cause I don't think it's gonna turn out OK
     C                G/B
It's no fair and it's no fun
   Am                    D
If every time it's gonna end the same way:
C#dim     Cm              G
 Me: zero, Big bad world: one


E/A                 Em             
At the office we're all having cake
               D         G          D
   'cause it's someone's birthday I don't know who
E/A                  Em               
Get my plate and I'm scanning the room
           D    G             D
   and the only seat is right next to you
G          G/F           G/E                G/Eb           
 I get the nod, the tiny smile that doesn't come with teeth
G          G/F              G/E            G/Eb           
 Maybe you don't know who I am


C       G/B
 I quit, I'm done
      Am                         D
 'cause I don't think it's gonna turn out OK
     C                G/B
It's no fair and it's no fun
   Am                    D
If every time it's gonna end the same way:
C#dim     Cm              G
 Me: zero, Big bad world: one

          C              G/B
Staying in-side lying in bed
         Am                   Em
Noticing something that's not there
         C                G/B
Follow my heart, follow my head
            Bb            C                 Cmaj7
I'll follow anything that might get me somewhere

E/A                      Em               
Catch her eye when she's pouring my coffee
       D         G           D
   and search my head for an opening line
E/A              Em              
But I see by the look on her face
        D       G               D
   if I keep my mouth shut I'll save some time
G             G/F             G/E          G/Eb           
 What if the best that I can be just isn't good enough?
G          G/F           G/E            G/Eb           
 Isn't it better not to know?

C       G/B
 I quit, I'm done
      Am                         D
 'cause I don't think it's gonna turn out OK
     C                G/B
It's no fair and it's no fun
   Am                    D
If every time it's gonna end the same way:
C#dim     Cm              
 Me: zero, Big bad world: one

** Wikipedia sez: Crudite - Raw vegetables that are cut up and served as an hors d'oeuvre. If you can't pronounce "hors d'oeuvre" then good luck pronouncing "Crudite." Hint, it does not rhyme with "Luddite".
