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