[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 Bm
Get in line or get away
G D A Bm
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 Bm A
Between my traits and the ones I was fakin
G D A
On my search for who I was meant to be
Bm 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 Bm
Get in line or get away
G D A
You did what you had to do to make it through the day
Bm A G D
And now my life is a series of confrontations
A Bm A
Between my traits and the ones I was fakin
G D A
On my search for who I was meant to be
Bm A G
Who I was meant to be
G D A Bm
You'll never know if you don't let go
G D A Bm
You'll never know if you don't let go
[Bridge]
G D
Push it down and play it safe
A Bm
Get in line or get away
G D E 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 Bm
Between my traits and the ones I was fakin
G D A
On my search for who I was meant to be
Bm G
Who I was meant to be
Bm A G
Who I was meant to be
