Intro:
[E] I was never cool in school,
[Em/maj] I'm sure you don't remember me.
And [G/D]now it's been ten years,
I'm still [D]wondering who to be.
And I'd [Em]love to mix in [Em/maj]circles, cliques,
And [G/D]social cote-[C#dim]ries, that's me. Hand me my nose ring,
[G/D] (Can we be [D]happy?) Show me the mosh pit,
[C] (Can we be happy?)
[G] We [G/A]can [G/B]be [C]hap-[G/B]py [G/A]un -[G]der-[F]ground.

Verse 1:
G Gaug
Who's got the looks,
Who's got the [G6]brains, who's got [G7]everything?
[C] I got this [B7]pain in my [Em7]heart [Ebm7]that's [Dm7]all.
[C] (Hey you, with the [Cm]long and [F7]lonely [G]face).
Yeah, there's [Bb]gotta be [C]something else.[C/D]
Verse 2:
G Gaug
And let me tell you something else;
There was a [G6]girl that passed me [G7]by;
She gave a [C]smile but I was [B7]shy,
And I looked [Em7]down, [Ebm7]so [Dm7]down.
[C] (Don't look down no, no; [Cm]go, go [F7]under-[G]ground).
But [Bb]now there's a [C]place to go.[C/D]

[G] It's the morning now,
[G7] It's the evening, it's [Em]everything.
[Eb7] I click my [D7]heels, and I'm there...

Verse 3:
G Gaug
And we'll be decked in all black,
Slamming the [G6]pit fantastic.[G7]
Officer [C]Friendly's little [B7]boy's got a [Em7]Mohawk,
And he [Ebm7]knows just [Dm7]where we're [C]coming from.
(It's industrial; [Cm]work it [F7]under-[G]ground).
Get down,[Bb] get down, [C]get [C/D]down, yeah!
