Letra
F E G
The waiting drove me mad.
F E G
You're finally here and I'm a mess.
F E G
I'll take your interest back.
F E G
Can't let you roam inside my head.
Cadd9 G/B Aadd9 G
I don't want to take what you can give.
Cadd9 G/B Aadd9 G
I would rather starve than eat your bread.
Cadd9 G/B Aadd9 G
I would rather run but I can walk.
Cadd9 G/B Aadd9 G
Guess I'll lie alone just like before.
(Bridge)
F E G
I'll take the firmest path.
F E G
and I must refuse your test.
F E G
Push me and I will resist.
F E G
This behavior's not unique.
Cadd9 G/B Aadd9 G
I don't want to live for those who know.
Cadd9 G/B Aadd9 G
They can buy but can't put on my clothes.
Cadd9 G/B Aadd9 G
I don't want to wait for them to walk.
Cadd9 G/B Aadd9 G
Never would have known of me before.
Cadd9 G/B Aadd9 G
I don't want to be held in your debt.
Cadd9 G/B Aadd9 G
I'll pay it off in blood then I'll be wed.
Cadd9 G/B Aadd9 G
I'm already cut up and half dead.
Cadd9 G/B Aadd9 G
I'll end up alone like I began.
(B C)
Everything has changed.
Absolutely nothing's changed.
Take my hand.
Grab my picture.
Still my teacher.
Cadd9 G/B Aadd9 G
I don't want to take what you can give.
Cadd9 G/B Aadd9 G
I would rather starve than eat your breast.
Cadd9 G/B Aadd9 G
All the things that others want from me.
Cadd9 G/B Aadd9 G
Can't buy what I want because it's free.
Cadd9 G/B Aadd9 G
Can't buy what I want because it's free.
Cadd9 G/B Aadd9 G
Can 't be what you want because I'm..
F E G
F E G
I ain't s'posed to be just fun
F E G
Oh, to live and die, let it be done
F E G
I figure I'll be damned,
F E G
All alone like I began...
