[Verse 1]

F E G
     The waiting drove me mad
F E G
     you're finally here and I'm a mess
F E G
     I take your entrance back
F E G
     can't let you roam inside my head


[Chorus 1]

Cadd9           G/B       Am7   G
I don't want to take what you can give
Cadd9           G/B       Am7     G 
I would rather starve than eat your bread
Cadd9           G/B     Am7   G 
I would rather run but I can't walk
Cadd9           G/B       Am7   G 
Guess I'll lie alone just like before


[Verse 2]

F E G                                F E G
     I'll take the varmint's path... oh and I must refuse your test
F E G                          F E G
Push me and I will resist... this behavior's not unique


[Chorus 2]

Cadd9           G/B       Am7     G
I don't want to hear from those who know 
Cadd9           G/B       Am7   G
They can buy, but can't put on my clothes
Cadd9           G/B       Am7   G 
I don't want to limp for them to walk
Cadd9           G/B       Am7   G
Never would have known of me before
Cadd9           G/B       Am7   G 
I don't want to be held in your debt
Cadd9           G/B       Am7   G 
And I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed
Cadd9           G/B       Am7   G 
And I'm already cut up and half dead
Cadd9           G/B       Am7   G 
I'll end up alone like I began


[Bridge]

G Cadd9

G                        Cadd9
Everything has changed, absolutely nothing's changed
        G                     Cadd9
Take my hand, light my picture, spilled my tincture


[Chorus 3]

Cadd9           G/B       Am7   G
I don't want to take what you can give 
Cadd9           G/B       Am7   G
I would rather starve than eat your breast
Cadd9           G/B       Am7   G 
All the things that others want for me
Cadd9           G/B       Am7   G 
Can't buy what I want because it's free... (2x)
Cadd9                    G/B 
Can't be what you want because I'm ! (STOP)


[Verse 3]

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, all alone like I began...

[Outro]

Em / Em / A / C9

Then solo...
