My first tab! I was looking for chords and couldn't find them anywhere so I tried 
playing a few and they seemed to work! This is completely by ear so it's probably not 100% 
correct, but it sounds right when I play it. Enjoy!

No Capo, standard tuning (EADGBe).

Intro:
G D Am C D (x2)

Verse 1:

G
Live to work, work to live
D
No time left to spend or give
Am             Am7
Walking like a bureaucrat
C              D
Talking like a diplomat

Verse 2:

G
Always look into their eyes
D
Firm handshakes, quick replies
Am                Am7
Push the product, sell the crop
C                 D
Climb that ladder to the top

Verse 3:

G
But what if it's not meant for me?
D
I can't stand the symmetry
Am               Am7
My head is stuck inside the clouds
C             Csus2
But I can see clearly now

Chorus:

G                      D                    Am       Am7
I'm trying to find the means to living more passionately
C                 Csus2   G
Cause I'm not who I wanna be
             D                        Am         Am7
Buried in routines, I don't care what happens to me
C      Csus2     G
I just gotta get free

G D Am C D

Verse 4:

G
I am no proprietor
D
Tell that that to my dear father
Am                   Am7
Taught me everything he knew
C                    D
About nothing that I wanna do

Verse 5:

G
Earned awards, honors, degrees
D
I couldn't find myself in these
Am                    Am7
So I took my car keys and ID's
C                       D
And threw them in the ocean

Bridge:

Em              D               Am7     D       C
Now, all of the world is laying right before my eyes
         Am              D7               G     D    
Am7 C  G
I wonder why the hell it took so long for me to recognize
                                               (recognieieiiize)
D C Em Am7 G D Csus2 
Am7 C D


G                      D                    C
I'm trying to find the means to living more passionately
Am                Am7     G
Cause I'm not who I wanna be
             D                        C           Am7
Buried in routines, I don't care what happens to me

Chorus:

       G                      D                    Am       Am7
I said I'm trying to find the means to living more passionately
C                 Csus2   G
Cause I'm not who I wanna be
             D                        Am         Am7
Buried in routines, I don't care what happens to me
C      Csus2     G
I just gotta get free

G D Am C

       Csus2     G
I just gotta get free

G D Am C D (Repeat and fade)
