And I had a feeling that I belonged
C Em D Em G Em
And I had a feeling I could -- be someone be someone be someone
Cmaj7 G Em D X2

Em D
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
Cmaj7 G
I know things will get better

Cmaj7 G
We'll move out of the shelter
Em D
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

The following comment has been added to your tab : 'The main riff is Cmaj7, C, Cmaj7, G5 instead of just Cmaj7 and G. This way you play the melody on the first string (A string) by playing 2, 3, 2, 5 with the chords'
