All around I see raining
Things don’t seem to go my way
Got a dark cloud that’s hanging
And it seems to follow me
Oh won’t you just wake up
feel the humming
This cruel world is killing you
better start running
Catch up with your life, catch on up
Before the whole thing is through
Have you once? Have you twice?
Have you even considered
it be really good for you
To go out and go on
take another better look around
You are just another white boy
Thinking you’re so hardcore
Take step outside see what’s shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside see what’s shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside see what’s shaking in the real world
But you don’t know
how my heart laments
I really got a good excuse
to complain
My parents got divorced
Can’t heal the pain
And now there is only cheap regrets
I guess that’s just the way it be
Is it the world or how I see me
Boy now you are really, really bugging
Yes you are bugging me,
can’t you just shut right up
Your cup is overflowing, overflowing
And you think it is indeed
You don’t even know what side
you are fighting for
Boy won’t you turn your game boy off
Start pretending
it’s you against the world
I am sick and I am tried of hearing
of hearing you always say
I really got a good excuse to complain
My parents got divorced
Can’t heal the pain
Go take a step outside see what’s shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside see what’s shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside see what’s shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside see what’s shaking in the real world
[ Guitar Solo ]
Go take a step outside see what’s shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside see what’s shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside see what’s shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside see what’s shaking in the real world

version 2
Capo:no capo

This song is one of the best songs for guitar players up and coming.
This song absulutley sounds awsome on my 12 string.
Always play A and G as a bare chord because that is the way that the man him self JOHN

All around I see raining
Things don't seem to go my way
God a dark cloud is hanging
And it seems to follow me
Boy, won't you just wake up
Hear the humming
This cool world is giving you
Better start running
Catch up with your life
I catch on up
Before the whole thing is through
Have you once have you twice
Have you even considered
It would be good for you
To gotta go and take another look around
You are just another white boy
Thinking your so hardcore
Go take a step out side and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step out side and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step out side and see what's shaking in the real world
But you don't know how my heart laments
I've really got a good excuse to complain
My parents got divorced can't heal the pain
Now there is only cheap regrets
I guess that's just the way it be
Is it the world, oh how I see me?
Boy now you are really
Really bugging
Yes you are bugging me
Can't you just shut right up
Your cup is overflowing
Overflowing
And you think it is too deep
You don't even know what side
You are vouching for
Boy would you turn your Game-boy off
Stop pretending it's you against the world
I am sick and I am tired
Of hearing you always say
I really got a good excuse to complain
My parents got divorced can't heal the pain
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
