D A Em G x2
 
D         A                 G
 I didn’t know what I would find
 When I went looking for a reason, I know
D         A                G
 I didn’t read between the lines
                                Em
 And, baby, I’ve got nowhere to go
                               G
 I tried to take the road less traveled by
Em                             G
 But nothing seems to work the first few times
 A
 Am I right?
 
   D              A
So how can I ever try to be better?
G
Nobody ever lets me in
D                    A
I can still see you, this ain’t the best view
G
On the outside looking in
Em
I’ve been a lot of lonely places
G          A
I’ve never been on the outside
 
D           A                G
 You saw me there, but never knew
 I would give it all up to be
D          A               G
 A part of this, a part of you
                                  Em
 And now it’s all too late so you see
                                G
 You could’ve helped if you had wanted to
Em                    G
 But no one notices until it’s too
 A
 Late to do anything
 
D              A
How can I ever try to be better?
G
Nobody ever lets me in
D                    A
I can still see you, this ain’t the best view
G
On the outside looking in
Em
I’ve been a lot of lonely places
G          A
I’ve never been on the outside

I am still learning to play barre chords, so I made up my own bridge transition using the four main chords. Thank you for this!
