(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)
