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