Verse 1
D G D F#m Em
forgotten dirt road two ruts between weeds, mailman won't go there, bus turns around
D G D F#m Em
trailer floor creaks and sways under footsteps, mile walk to the bus stop, time to go to town

Ch 1
D4 A4 Em7 G6
Here the losers and loners sing for lost causes, the misfits without wits that didn't pass the test
D4 A4 Em7 G6
Hopelessly languishing, less than forsaken, the social outsiders, long gone dissonants

Verse 2
D G D
Brakes screech and pull left, door creaks open
F#m Em
smells like piss between green and black mold
D G D
Walk to the back take a seat in the corner
F#m G
Its a six mile ride to the city, Its dark and its cold

Ch 2
D4 A4 Em7 G6
Here the losers and loners sing for lost causes, the nerds and the twerps that didn't pass the test
D4 A4 Em7 G6
Hopelessly heartbroken, less than forsaken, the social outsiders, long gone dissonants

Verse 2
D G D
Bus stops with a growl, door falls open
F#m Em
in front of the mission empty it out
D G D
in what's left of this town
F#m Em
Step off, stand on the sidewalk
D
hear the choir singing

Ch 3
D4 A4 Em7 G6
We're the losers and loners sing for lost causes, the freaks and the geeks that didn't pass the test
D4 A4 Em7 G6
Hopelessly heartbroken, less than forsaken, we're social outsiders, long gone dissonants

Bridge
A4(VII) A(VII) Am(VII) G4(V) G(V) Gm(V)
So next time you see a lone losing wildflower, Pushing up through the sidewalk, fighting off weedkiller
F4(III) F(III) Fm(III) E4(II) E(II) Em(II)
Just trying to stay strong, help keep up our spirits, Take a deep breath and sing us this song

Repeat Ch 3, Ch 2, end on Ch 1 first line
