[Verse]
G#
I never liked baseball
C#
But I always ended up on the team
G#
I wasn't drawn to the girls
C#
In the Sports Illustrated Magazine
[Bridge]
G#
And when push came to shove
I hid who I was
C#
Under lock and key
G#
I built a whole man
I didn't understand
C# D#
And people called him me
[Chorus]
C# G#
Push it down and play it safe
D# Fm
Get in line or get away
C# G# D# Fm
You did what you had to do to make it through the day
D# C# G#
And now my life is a series of confrontations
D# Fm D#
Between my traits and the ones I was fakin
C# G# D#
On my search for who I was meant to be
Fm D#
Who I was meant to be
[Verse]
G#
I was in touch with my emotions
C#
But no one could еver know it but me
G#
How could I evеr be respected
C#
If somebody else perceives me as weak?
[Bridge]
G#
So when push came to shove
I lived in disgust
C#
Under lock and key
G#
I built a whole man
I didn't understand
C# D#
And people called him me
[Chorus]
C# G#
Push it down and play it safe
D# Fm
Get in line or get away
C# G# D#
You did what you had to do to make it through the day
Fm D# C# G#
And now my life is a series of confrontations
D# Fm D#
Between my traits and the ones I was fakin
C# G# D#
On my search for who I was meant to be
Fm D# C#
Who I was meant to be
C# G# D# Fm
You'll never know if you don't let go
C# G# D# Fm
You'll never know if you don't let go
[Bridge]
C# G#
Push it down and play it safe
D# Fm
Get in line or get away
C# G# A# D#
You did what you had to do to make it through the day
[Chorus]
C# G#
And now my life is a series of confrontations
D# Fm
Between my traits and the ones I was fakin
C# G# D#
On my search for who I was meant to be
