Verse
Dm
I made no friends
Edim
And I didn’t go out
Dm
Like all other kids
Bb A
Living life just about
Dm
I followed your steps
Edim
And I stayed in the line
Dm
I did all you asked
Bb A
So you’d see that I tried
Dm
I read all the books
Edim
And I watched all the shows
Dm
I gave my damn best
Bb A
But you wouldn’t let go
Dm
Now that I’m so close
Edim
Suddenly “out of line”
Dm
You’ve ruined your life
Bb A
But you won’t ruin mine
[Refrão]
G F Em Dm
So I’ll lay in my bed and let you
C
String me along
G
Hear all my songs
G Am G F Em C
I don’t wanna live like a puppet
Verse
Dm
Year after year
Edim
I stood still, I kept quiet
Dm
To not start the flame
Bb A
And to not be a target
Dm
I put myself last
Edim
Never beat anyone
Dm
Always aim for the best
Bb A
Perfect friend, perfect son
Dm
I aimed for the stars
Edim
And I shut myself down
Dm
I lived like a robot
Bb A
No feelings to count
Dm
But now that I’m free
Edim
You think I am insane
Dm
It’s not my problem
Bb A
If you don’t feel the same
Chorus
G F Em Dm
So I’ll lay in my bed and let you
C
String me along
G
Hear all my songs
G Am G F Em C
I don’t wanna live like a puppet
[Ponte]
Dm
Pull the strings and watch me fly
Gm
Use me, break me, watch me cry
C
Place your bets
Put out the lights
F
Everyone
A
Thinks I’m just fine
Dm
Pay the man and watch the show

Under all rich men’s control

Ploy the leaders
Pick the fights

Thinks they won’t die
