Tom: A
A D E
i've learned to slam on the brake
A D E
before i even turn the key
A D E
before i make the mistake
A D F#m E
before i lead with the worst of me
A D E
give them no reason to stare
A D E
no slippin up if you slip away
A D E
so i got nothin to share
A D F#m E
no, i've got nothing to sa-ay
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm F#m E
step out, step out of the sun
A D
if you keep getting burned
Bm F#m E
step out, step out of the sun
A D
because you've learned
E
because you've learned
[Chorus]
F#m D
on the outside always looking in,
A E
will i ever be more than i've always been
F#m D
'cause i'm tap-tap-tapping on the glass
A E
i'm waving through a window
F#m D
i try to speak but nobody can hear
A E
so i wait around for an answer to appear
F#m D
while i'm watch-watch-watching people pass
A E
i'm waving through a window, oh
F#m D
can anybody see
E
is anybody waving
A D E
back at me
A D E
[Verse 2]
A D E
we start with stars in our eyes
A D E
we start believing that we belong
A D E
but every sun doesn't rise
A D F#m E
and no one tells you where you went wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm F#m E
step out, step out of the sun
A D
if you keep getting burned
Bm F#m E
step out, step out of the sun
A D
because you've learned
F#m E
because you've learned
[Chorus]
F#m D
on the outside always looking in,
A E
will i ever be more than i've always been
F#m D
'cause i'm tap-tap-tapping on the glass
A E
i'm waving through a window
F#m D
i try to speak but nobody can hear
A E
so i wait around for an answer to appear
F#m D
while i'm watch-watch-watching people pass
A E
i'm waving through a window, oh
F#m D
can anybody see
E
is anybody waving
[Bridge]
F#m D
when you're falling in a forest
E A
and there's nobody around
F#m D
do you ever really crash
E A
or even make a sound
F#m D
when you're falling in a forest
E A
and there's nobody around
F#m D
do you ever really crash
E A
or even make a sound
F#m D
when you're falling in a forest
E A
and there's nobody around
F#m D
do you ever really crash
E A
or even make a sound
F#m D
when you're falling in a forest
E A
and there's nobody around
F#m D
do you ever really crash
E A
or even make a sound
F#m
did i even make a sound
D
did i even make a sound
A
it's like i never made a sound
E
will i ever make a sound
(Important (kind of)!! There is a key change here from A major to G minor. The chord progression changes.
This might take a little getting used to. Just thought you should know.)

'cause i'm tap-tap-tapping on the glass
