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