	(10) VERSE 1
	| F5 / / E5 | G5  /  /  /   | F5  /  /  E5  | G5  /  /  /  |
	                The waiting drove me mad...    You're finally here 
	                
	| F5  /  /  E5  | G5  /   /   /    | F5   /   /  E5  | G5  /  /  /  |
	and I'm a mess.       I take your entrance back -       Can't let you roam 
	
	| F5   /   /  E5  | G5  /  Cadd9  /  |
	     inside my head.       I don't want to 


	(8) CHORUS 1
	| G/B  /  /  Amsus4 | G /  Cadd9  /  |
	take what you can give     I would rather 
	
	| G/B  /  /  Amsus4  | G /  Cadd9  /  |
	starve than eat your bread. I would rather
	
	| G/B  /  /  Amsus4  | G /  Cadd9  /  |

	(8) INTRO BAND (snare fill 1/2 way)
	
	
	(10) VERSE 2
	          ...I'll take the 
	varmint's path, Oh and I 
	must refuse your test, A-push me 
	and I will resist, This behavior's 
	not unique.
	
	
	(16) CHORUS 2
	               ...I don't want to 
	hear from those who know. They can buy, but 
	can't put on my clothes. I don't want to 
	limp for them to walk. Never would have 
	known of me before. 
	                 I don't want to 
	be held in your debt. I'll pay it off in 
	blood, let I be wed. I'm already 
	cut up and half dead. I'll end up 
	alone like I began.

	(8) BRIDGE WITH VOC
	Everything has chains, absolutely nothing's changed.
	Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my tincture.


	(11) CHORUS 3
	              ...I don't want to 
	take what you can give. I would rather 
	starve than eat your breast. All the things that 
	others want for me. Can't buy what I 
	want because it's free. Can't buy 
	what I want because it's free. Can't be what you 
	want because I'm...


	(8) VERSE 3
	I ain't s'posed to be just fun
	Oh, to live and die, let it be done.
	I figure I'll be damned - all alone like
