  G (320003@1)                  Dsus4 (xx0233@1) I was tired of being put right down
       C (x32010@1) by myself for not being what you

  thought you had found
  G (320003@1)            Dsus4 (xx0233@1) pulled hard in two directions by 
      C (x32010@1) a desire to learn and my old affections


  when I tried to share my world with you
  you could not seem to tolerate 
  the people I had grown to love,
  they shrank under your scrutiny
  became the one's you hate

   Chorus:

           G (320003@1)                     Dsus4 (xx0233@1) why did everything, every little thing
                          C (x32010@1) every little thing with you and me

  have to be so-o political
   G (320003@1)                    Dsus4 (xx0233@1) everything every little thing 
                                  C (x32010@1) every little thing with you and me 
                        G (320003@1) have to to be so-o political


  I feeling a little underwhelmed
  about hanging 'round with you
  and feeling overcautious
  every little word, every little look
  every little sigh,every little phrase
  put me deeper in your doghouse 

  you let me out to run across your world
  I ran into a wall,you told me I built it,
  then you reel me, in ring me out, 
  pick me up, push me out again,then repeat it

  Chorus

  Bridge:
   
   Dsus4 (xx0233@1)                          Cadd9 (x32030@1)  
  Too busy tripping on my tongue to try and stand my ground
              Dsus4 (xx0233@1) and I can still myself crying in your lap
         Cadd9 (x32030@1) asking you if you're happy with the man you had found

  I'm grateful for what you did for me
  I can see things now I never would've seen
  and today I thought about what it could've been
  but could never be for you and me,

  Chorus
