[Verse 1]
    D/C      G/B                  F
Politician's fighting hard to win
D                D/C                G/B                F D
Getting a good position so he won't have to lose again
             D/C        G/B                      F D
The battle's always on, working against disgrace
                  D/C      G/B  
He has to win you over, well, it's always the case
A7
Ends up saving face

[Verse 2]
    D/C      G/B        F D
Delegations, flying in
           D/C              G/B                   F D
Happiest relations, smiling faces, shaking hands
                    D/C G/B                          F D
The battle's always on, working against displacement
                      D/C           G/B  
They have to win them over, if it's only a case
   A7             G
Of saving space


[Chorus]
          F#m            Em
No, don't bother telling me
      C      D     G
I can see it for myself
      F#m                    Em
I was born with a mind of my own
       C                      D
And I intend to keep it free


[Verse 3]
          D/C     G/B          F
Still the seasons come and go
D              D/C              G/B                F D
Bad influences pile up like the dirty driven snow
             D/C     G/B                        F
Turn off the news, I really don't want to know
             D        D/C                 G/B  
If there was anywhere left to go, well, I think I'd want to go
         A7                           G
'Cause I really don't like the show


[Chorus]
          F#m            Em
No, don't bother telling me
      C      D     G
I can see it for myself
      F#m                    Em
I was born with a mind of my own
       C                      D
And I intend to keep it free
