F (8th fret)  E (7th)  G (3rd)
The waiting drove me mad
You're finally here and I'm a mess
I take your entrance back
Can't let you roam inside my head

C (8th fret)  Bm (7th)  A (5th)  G (3rd)
I don't want to take what you can give
C (8th fret)  Bm (7th)  Am (5th)  G (3rd)
I would rather starve than eat your bread
C                     Bm     A            G 
I would rather run but I can't walk
C                     Bm     Am           G 
Guess I'll lie alone just like before

F (8th fret)  E (7th)  G (3rd)
I'll take the firmest path
Oh, and I must refuse your test
Push me and I will resist
This behavior's not unique

C (8th fret)  Bm (7th)  A (5th)  G (3rd)
I don't want to hear from those who know
They can buy, but can't put on my clothes
I don't want to limp for them to walk
Never would have known of me before

F (8th fret)  E (7th)  G (3rd)
I don't want to be held in your debt
I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed
I'm already cut up and half dead
I'll end up alone like I began

Bm        C
Everything has chains
Absolutely nothing's changed
Take my hand. Grab my picture.  Still my teacher.

I don't want to take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
All the things that others want for me
Can't buy what I want because it's free
Can't buy what I want because it's free
Can't be what you want because I'm free

I am supposed to be just one,
Only live and die let it be done
I figure I'll be damned
A little old, like I began

C (8th fret)  Bm (7th)  A (5th)  G (3rd)
Can alternately be played:
C (3rd fret)  Bm (2nd)  A (1st)  G (1st)
