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