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