A5 E5 D5 E5
Ahaa Oh oh_
A5 E5 D5 D5
ooh ooh oh
[Verse1] (Riff1)
A5 E5
You liked me till' you heard my shit on the radio
D5 E5
Well I hate to say but pop ain't going solo
A5 E5
You liked me till' you heard my shit on the radio
D5 D5
But now I'm just too mainstream for you, oh no
A5 E5
You liked me till' you seen me on your t.v.
D5 E5
Well if you're so low below then why you watching?
A5 E5
You say good things come to those who wait
D5 D5
I've been waiting a long time for it
[Chorus1]
A5 E5 G5
I remember the days__ when I was__ so eager_ to satisfy you_
A5 E5 G5
and be less then I was__ just to prove__ I could_ walk_ beside you_
A5 E5 G5
Now that I've flown a_way__ I see__ee__ you've chosen_ to stay behind me_
A5 E5 G5
and still you curse the day__ I decided__ to_ stay true to myself_
[Verse2] (Riff1)
A5 E5
You say your quest is to bring it higher
D5 E5
Well I never seen change without a fire
A5 E5
But from your mouth I have seen a lot of burning
D5 D5
But underneath I think it's a lot of yearning
A5 E5
Your face, the colours change from green to yellow
D5 E5
To the point where you can't even say hello
A5 E5
You tell me you'd kill me if I ever snob you out
D5 D5
Like that's what you'd expect from me, like that's what I'm about
[Chorus1]
A5 E5 G5
I remember the days__ when I was__ so eager_ to satisfy you_
A5 E5 G5
and be less then I was__ just to prove__ I could_ walk_ beside you_
A5 E5 G5
Now that I've flown a_way__ I see__ee__ you've chosen_ to stay behind me_
A5 E5 G5
and still you curse the day__ I decided__ to_ stay true to myself_
Break drums
[Bridge]
C5 G5
It's so much easier to stay down there guaranteeing you're cool
C5 G5
Than sit up here exposing myself trying to break through
C5
Than to burn in the spotlight (open fire!),
E5
turn in the spitfire (open fire!)
A5
Scream without making a sound (open fire!),
C5
be up here and not look down (open fire!)
D5
because we're all afraid of heights
[Chorus2]
A5 E5 G5
I remember the days__ when I was__ so eager_ to satisfy you_
A5 E5 G5
and be less then I was__ just to prove__ I could_ walk_ beside you_
A5 E5 G5
Now that I've flown a_way__ I see__ee__ you've chosen_ to stay behind me_
A5 E5 G5
and still you curse the day__ I decided__ to_ STAY TRUE TO MY__
