  I had the blankest year

             F#     
 And now it's lonely
      E                     B   
 Thank God the band's doing well
              F#     
 But you don't own me
      E                 B     
 I'd like to return this spell
                   C#m  
 'Cause it's not my size
         B                F#     
 And your lies are so much bigger
        C#m  
 Than my Lies
          B                F#                             
 And your ties are made of things that shouldn't make ties
