Tom: G
D
Hey you, you're standing in my way
E9
A solid obstacle you make
C G
I want an answer or at least the truth
D
I try to please you every day
E9
But still it's all that you can say
C G
You want a hit cause you don't want to lose
D
And as you scream the words out loud
E9
You're trying hard to force a crowd
C G
And you should slice me 'cause I'm just your meat
D
You could sell me at the store
E9
But you don't want to anymore
C G
I am your used Thanksgiving Day Parade float
[Chorus]
D
Oh, I gotta stop
E9
Living like I'm not
C G
Yeah you said you believed in me, but baby I don't know
D
Oh, I gotta stop
E9
Pushing it to pop
C G
I don't care about the label 'cause it doesn't mean a lot
[Verse 2]
D
Maybe the times have never changed
E9
I'm just a puppet in your game
C G
You're not my patron saint if I say so
D
You can't control me with your words
E9
Despite your using them like swords
C G
I can't believe I let you get this close
[Chorus]
D
Oh, I gotta stop
E9
Living like I'm not
C G
Yeah you said you believed in me, but baby I don't know
D
Oh, I gotta stop
E9
Pushing it to pop
C G
I don't care about the label 'cause it doesn't mean a lot
D
Now I see I let you down
E9
But you still won't let me out
C
Yeah you told me that you needed me
G
It doesn't really show
[Chorus]
D
Oh, I gotta stop
E9
Living like I'm not
C G
Yeah you said you believed in me, but baby I don't know
D
Oh, I gotta stop
E9
Pushing it to pop
C G
I don't care about the label 'cause it doesn't mean a lot
[Bridge]
D
I am last season's mannequin
E9
No longer cute and in fashion
C G
I am the Christmas song that you don't know
D
I am the summer at the shore
E9
You don't remember anymore
C G
I am the novel that you wish you wrote
[Chorus]
D
Oh, I gotta stop
E9
Living like I'm not
C G
Yeah you said you believed in me, but baby I don't know
D
Oh, I gotta stop
E9
Pushing it to pop
C G
I don't care about the label 'cause it doesn't mean a lot
D
Now I see I let you down
E9
But you still won't let me out
C
Yeah you told me that you needed me
G
It doesn't really show
D
Oh, I gotta stop
E9
Living like I'm not
C G
Yeah you said you believed in me, but baby I don't know
[Instumental]
D E9
(Stop living like I'm not)
C G
(Believed in me, but baby I don't know)
D E9
(Stop pushing it to pop)
C G
(The label 'cause it doesn't mean a lot)
[Chorus]
D
Now I see I let you down
E9
But you still won't let me out
C
Yeah you told me that you needed me
G
It doesn't really show
D
Oh, I gotta stop
E9
Living like I'm not
C G
Yeah you said you believed in me, but baby I don't know
