[Verse]
Am C
On the way trying to get where I'd like to say
G
I'm always feeling steered away
F
By someone trying to tell me
E Am
What to say and do
(Am) C
I don't want it, I gotta go find my own way
G
I gotta go make my own mistakes
F
Sorry man for feeling
E Am
Feeling the way I do
[Chorus]
(Am) F
On yeah, Oh yeah
G C E Am
Open wide and they'll shove in their meaning of life
(Am) F
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
G C E Am
But not for me I'll do it on my own
(Am) F
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
G C E F
Open wide and swallow their meaning of life
F G
I can't make it work your way
E Am
Thanks but no thanks
[Verse]
Am C
By the way I know your path has been tried and so
G
It may seem like the way to go
F
Me, I'd rather be found
E Am
Trying something new
(Am) C
And the bottom line in all of this seems to say
G
There's no right and wrong way
F
Sorry if I don't feel like
E Am
Living the way you do
[Chorus]
(Am) F
On yeah, Oh yeah
G C E Am
Open wide and they'll shove in their meaning of life
(Am) F
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
G C E Am
But not for me I'll do it on my own
(Am) F
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
G C E F
Open wide and swallow their meaning of life
F G
I can't make it work your way
E Am
Thanks but no thanks
