VERSE 1: F5 E5 G5
The waiting drove me mad... you're finally here and I'm a mess
I take your entrance back... can't let you roam inside my head

CHORUS: C B A G
I don't want to take what you can give...
I would rather starve than eat your bread...
I would rather run but I can't walk...
Guess I'll lie alone just like before...

MAIN RIFF x2

VERSE 2: F5 E5 G5
I'll take the varmint's path... oh, and I must refuse your test
Push me and I will resist... this behavior's not unique

CHORUS: C B A G
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...

BRIDGE: B C
Everything has chains...absolutely nothing's changed
Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my tincture

CHORUS: C B A G
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...

I ain't supposed to be just one
Never to be tried, don't be a judge
I figure I'll be damned, all alone like I began...

MAIN RIFF (jam and out)

I changed the verse chords. A#5 A5 G5 isn't right and the A# chord will clash with the F5 chord that is actually played.
