verse 1
 
G                              F#7    G                                  F#7 
Here I sit a nobody with no one   and being' me ain't really all that fun 
G                                                     G7 
Leaving' her wasn't very smart admitting' I was wrong wouldn't be so hard

          C                            C7 
If it was cool to be a fool I'd be the hippest guy around 
     F7 
If a heartache made you famous I'd be known from town to town 
   C                                D 
If tears were made of pennies and a cold beer brought her back 
   G                Ab7               G 
My bank account and self-esteem would both be in the black 
        C                         E7 
If some Hollywood producer made a movie that was sad 
  F                         Ab 
About some guy who lost the best thing he ever had 
    Dm7                G                      C  
Hey, I could be a star if it was cool to be a fool 

verse 2 
G                                   F#7 
But we all know the way it really is 
     G                                             F#7 
You don't get recognized for doin' things like this 
    G 
You spend a lotta time feelin' sorry for yourself 
                                     G7 
It doesn't really mean that much to anybody else
