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