Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
People  who are sad, sometimes they wear  a frown
 And people  who are kings, sometimes they wear  a crown
 But all the people  who don't fit Get the only  fun they get
 From people puttin' people  down
 People puttin'  people down
People  without love, sometimes build a fence  around
 The garden  up above, that makes the whole world  go round
 But all the people  who don't fit Get the only  fun they get
 From people puttin'  people down
 People puttin' people  down
So cold,  sometimes  it gets  so cold
 (Repeat Intro)
You  may love your wife, you may lose your family
You  may lose you mind, just to keep your sanity
 But the people  who don't fit Get the only  fun they get
 From people puttin'  people down
 People puttin' people  down
People  that are glad, sometimes they wear  a smile
 And people  without dreams, they walk the extra  mile
 But all the people  who don't fit Get the only  fun they get
 From people puttin' people  down
 People puttin' people  down
 From people puttin' people  down
 People puttin' people  down
So cold,  sometimes  it gets  so cold
 (Repeat Intro)
