(Verse)
D Em
Everybody is leaving
Bm G
from this town and from me
D
They've got the burning flame,
Em
they sure achieve their aim
Bm G
You know that's tough for me to see
D Em
Oh, how I wish I could
Bm G
do the same as them and go
D Em
Just pack my bags and goodbye
Bm G
Get out fast or fade away real slow
G
'Cause what you see is
(Chorus)
Bm
What you get right here
A G
Where a change is nowhere near
G Bm
What you see is what you get from me
A G
In this duckpond, leave me be
(Verse)
D Em
I pretend my life is perfect
Bm G
like the faces on TV
D Em
Yeah, that's the only way to face another day
Bm G
Try to deny the misery
D Em
But those are the ways of lonely's
Bm
and like a clown
G
Yeah, I do act
D Em
No matter where I could be
Bm
or would like to go
G
I'm stuck here, that's a fact
G
'Cause what you see is
(Chorus)
Bm
What you get right here
A G
Where a change is nowhere near
G Bm
What you see is what you get from me
A G
In this duckpond, leave me be
(BRIDGE)
Em G
I'm too weak, I'm down on my knees
Em G
Too feeble for something new
Em G
Feels like there's nothing I can do
D A
Em G
Keep on laughing 'bout me
Em G
Keep on doing your own
Em G
But someday, I will
D A
Be that one
(OUTRO)
Bm A
Be that one
G
Yeah, someday I will
Bm A
be that one
G
be that one
Bm A
be that one Yeah, someday I will
G
be that one
Bm A
be that one Yeah, someday I will
G
be that one
D (End on D)
