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

Who I was meant to be
