Intro: G  G

Verse:
G              C
Six schools in six years
     D                   Em
Been kicked out of every place
             G
Everything I ever do is wrong
      C
Never find where I belong
     D
Everybody on my case

Instrumental: G G G D

Verse:
G
The same old story
D
The same old song
          Em
Don’t act up
          C
Don’t act out
   G
Be strong
          Em
I keep my head down
          Em
I keep my chin up
       C
But it ends up all the same
      G              C           Cm           Eb
With “pack your bags Percy you’re always to blame”

Chorus:
                  Ab     Bb
I never try to do anything
                     Cm   Eb
I never mean to hurt anyone
                            Ab
I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid
       Bb
a good kid
       Gm Eb
a good son
                Ab          Bb
But no one will take my side
                 Cm          Eb
All I ever do is take the fall
                            Ab
I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid
          Bb
Guess I’m good for nothing at all

Instrumental: D D D D

Verse:
G
Gabe, was a world class jerk
D
Dad, was never there
         Em                  C
The only family, that really mattered
          G
Well, she vanished into the air
      Em
Now I finally find a haven
           C
Some place safe where I can stay
           Em             C        Cm         Eb
’til it’s “pack your bags Percy now go, go away!”

Chorus:
                  Ab      Bb
I never try to do anything
                     Cm    Eb
I never mean to hurt anyone
                            Ab
I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid
      Eb                  Gm Eb
Yeah, Percy that’s a good one
                Ab          Bb
But no one will take my side
                 Cm          Eb
All I ever do is take the fall
                            Ab
I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid
          Bb
Guess I’m good for nothing at all

Verse:
G              C
The schools in six years
      D
Every battle
      Em
Every day
            G
No one ever tells you that they’re proud
       C
No one asked me
                         D
“Percy how’d you like to come around and stay?”
                Em
All you get are bad grades
      Em
And a bum rap
      C
And a bad rep
      C
And a good smack
    G
And no friends
    G
And no hope
    Bb
And no mom

She’s taken away

Instrumental:
Ab Bb Cm Eb

Chorus:
                      Ab      Bb
I swear I never stole anything
                      Cm   Eb
I never meant to hurt anyone
                            Ab
I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid
       Bb
a good kid
                Eb  F
Who’s had a bad run
                      Ab
And all I need is one last chance

To prove I’m good enough for someone

Ab Bb
                    Cm    Bb
I’m good enough for someone

I’m good enough for someone
