Introduction:
Am Em D Em
Ahaa Oh oh_
Am Em D
ooh ooh oh
{Verse1} (Riff1)
Am Em
You liked me till' you heard my shit on the radio
D Em
Well I hate to say but pop ain't going solo
Am Em
You liked me till' you heard my shit on the radio
D
But now I'm just too mainstream for you, oh no
Am Em
You liked me till' you seen me on your t.v.
D Em
Well if you're so low below then why you watching?
Am Em
You say good things come to those who wait
D
I've been waiting a long time for it
{Chorus1}
Am Em G
I remember the days__ when I was__ so eager_ to satisfy you_
Am Em G
and be less then I was__ just to prove__ I could_ walk_ beside you_
Am Em G
Now that I've flown a_way__ I see__ee__ you've chosen_ to stay behind me_
Am Em G
and still you curse the day__ I decided__ to_ stay true to myself_
{Verse2} (Riff1)
Am Em
You say your quest is to bring it higher
D Em
Well I never seen change without a fire
Am Em
But from your mouth I have seen a lot of burning
D
But underneath I think it's a lot of yearning
Am Em
Your face, the colours change from green to yellow
D Em
To the point where you can't even say hello
Am Em
You tell me you'd kill me if I ever snob you out
D
Like that's what you'd expect from me, like that's what I'm about
{Chorus1}
Am Em G
I remember the days__ when I was__ so eager_ to satisfy you_
Am Em G
and be less then I was__ just to prove__ I could_ walk_ beside you_
Am Em G
Now that I've flown a_way__ I see__ee__ you've chosen_ to stay behind me_
Am Em G
and still you curse the day__ I decided__ to_ stay true to myself_
Break drums
C G
It's so much easier to stay down there guaranteeing you're cool
C G
Than sit up here exposing myself trying to break through
C
Than to burn in the spotlight (open fire!),
Em
turn in the spitfire (open fire!)
Am
Scream without making a sound (open fire!),
C
be up here and not look down (open fire!)
D
because we're all afraid of heights
{Chorus2}
Am Em G
I remember the days__ when I was__ so eager_ to satisfy you_
Am Em G
and be less then I was__ just to prove__ I could_ walk_ beside you_
Am Em G
Now that I've flown a_way__ I see__ee__ you've chosen_ to stay behind me_
Am Em G
and still you curse the day__ I decided__ to_ STAY TRUE TO MY__
