D         A
 You’re a cardboard sign
Bm         G
 You’re the back of the line
D          A
 You’re a bratty little kid
Bm                                 G
 You're "everybody knows what your mama did"
D       A
 You’re thrift store shoes
Bm             G
 You’re makeup on a bruise
D           A
 You’re the man at the checkout
Bm                   G
 You’re the one they talk about


[Chorus]
     D               Em        Bm   A
 But they don’t even know your name
 D               Em        Bm
 They don’t even know your name

[Verse 2]
D           A
 You’re the trouble you’re in
Bm          G
 You’re the color of your skin
D                   A
 They got faith and you got doubts
Bm                        G
 You fought a war they forgot about


[Bridge]
A                       Bm             D
 They say don’t make a scene and don’t cause a fuss
A                  Bm          G
 Just go take your seat at the back of the bus


[Chorus]
     D               Em        Bm   A
 But they don’t even know your name
     D              Em     Bm    G
 You know you’re a burning flame
D                 Em         Bm   A
You don’t have to play their game
       D               Em        Bm
 Cause they don’t even know your name


[Verse 3]
D          A
 You can’t swim in the deep end
Bm                  G
 You’re every other weekend
D                        A
 You told the truth, and no one heard
Bm                         G
 They wouldn’t listen to a single word


[Bridge]
A                      Bm                     D   A
 They say, stop making waves, learn to fall in line
              Bm                  G
And if anyone asks you say you’re doing just fine


[Chorus]
     D               Em        Bm   A
 But they don’t even know your name
     D              Em     Bm    G
 You know you’re a burning flame
D                 Em         Bm   A
You don’t have to play their game
       D               Em        Bm   A
 Cause they don’t even know your name
