[Intro] Bm  A  G

              D     Em          Bm           G
Everybody is leaving from this town and from me
                  D                           Em
They've got the burning flame, they sure achieve their aim
                 Bm              G
You know that's tough for me to see

                    D       Em         Bm              G
Oh, how I wish that I could    do the same as them and go
      D                Em        Bm              G
Just pack my bags and good-bye, get out fast or fade away real slow

                                    Bm
What you see is what you get right here
          A                G
where a change is nowhere near
                                  Bm   
What you see is what you get from me
         A                 G
In this duckpond, leave me be

                      D      Em           Bm       G
I pretend my life is perfect    like the faces on TV
                 D                  Em            
Yeah, that's the only way to face another day 
         Bm         G
Try to deny the misery                 

                           D      Em            Bm               G
But those are the ways of looney's  and like a clown, yeah, I do act
       D            Em               Bm                G
No matter where I could be or would like to go, I'm stuck here. That's a fact

                                    Bm
What you see is what you get right here
          A                G
where a change is nowhere near
                                  Bm   
What you see is what you get from me
         A                 G
In this duckpond, leave me be

Em                  G               Em               G
  I'm too weak I'm down on my knees. Too feeble for something new
Em                    G             D
  Feels like there's nothing I can do
Em         G                Em        G
  Keep on laughing 'bout me, keep on doing your own
Em            G               D
  But someday I will be that one
           Bm  A 
  Be that one
G                                 
  Yeah, someday I will be that one
