Em

I've watched the children come and go

A2                  Em

A late long march into spring

  A2                      Em

I sit and watch those children

                 A2

Jump in the tall grass

Em

Leap the sprinkler

A2

Walk in the ground

    Em             A2

Bicycle clothespin spokes

              Em                A2

The sound the smell of swingset hands



       D                        (Riff)

I will try to sing a happy song

             D                    (Riff)

I'll try and make a happy game to play



Come play with me I whispered to my new found friend

Tell me what it's like to go outside

I've never been

Tell me what it's like to just go outside

I've never been

And I never will



I'm not supposed to be like this

I'm not supposed to be like this

But it's okay



Hey those kids are looking at me

I told my friend myself

Those kids are looking at me

They're laughing and they're running over here

They're laughing and they're running over here

What do I do?

What can I do?

What should I do?

What do I say?

What can I say?



I said I'm no supposed to be like this

Let's try to find a happy game to play

Let's try to find a happy game to play

I'm not supposed to be like this

But it's okay...okay
