verse 1 

Just another day 
Bm                     D 
Seems like everybody's (got a problem) 
G 
No one knows how 
        D 
But (we all want to solve 'em) 
Bm 
You could give a (dime) 
        D 
Give a (hand) 

Or give a (shit) 
   G                              D 
Or you could look away and (never deal with it) 

Bm 
For example 
                    D 
This girl is pretty fly for a white gal 
G                            D 
All the guys want her though she's a juvenile 
      Bm                   D 
She's really kinda sad and just don't care 
           G                         D 
'Cause the only one she wants is her best friend Claire 

Bm 
What's going on? 
D 
What's going on? 
         Bm 
Ready or not (not) 
    D                  Bm            D                    Bm 
The world moves on and on and on and on and on and on and on 
    D 
Yo, what's going on? 

Pre-Chorus 

C               G 
There's nothing much to me 
    D 
I'm simple like you are, ordinary (simple like you are) 
C        G 
My tired eyes can see 
     A 
That time may fly 
           A 
And what's left is 

Meant to be 

Chorus 

D           G 
I'm looking out 
                   Bm 
And you're looking in 
                     G 
It's taken more than time 
   F#m       G 
To erase the stain 
         A              D 
And it's never been the same

She and her girls are drinking bacardi 
D                                 G 
Ever since she walked through the door 
                       D                     Bm 
All the guys have been flexing and tryin' to score 
                 D 
But she's a good girl 
                  G 
So she won't have none of that 
                  D 
She takes another sip 
           Bm                         D                 G 
But has no clue of the spike from the G to the H to the B 
                    D 
She wakes up on the morning 
                         Bm 
Bruised and raped in the street
