[Verse 1]
E
I see you there, dangling a star
E
I know who I am, you know who you are
A E
Laid out these books as stepping stones
E
Standing upright you're the smallest of all
E
You make me tall, You make me tall
A A A A A A
Don't you dare think you're alone
[Instrumental Break]
E (same as intro)
[Chorus]
E
Put your hands in mine and push as hard as you can
E
Wasn't born a man, Wasn't born a man,
A E
they'd sell our hearts if we stop fighting for free
E
Gave me a book of paper stickers, I need something thicker
E
to cut with my scissors, cut with my scissors
A E
I wanna tire out my hands and give them something to see
A E
Hey look I raised my hand first, why didn't you call on me?
[Bridge]
A
Standing right there I can see through your chest,
E
you know what's best, I'll write the rest
A
Didn't you see we've been laying that tile?
E B B B B B
So don't make me smile, don't make me smile
[Chorus]
E
But if you offer up your hands I'll push as hard as I can,
E
Wasn't born a man Wasn't born a man,
A E
they'll sell our hearts if we stop fighting for free
E
Gave me a book of paper stickers I need something thicker
E
to cut with my scissors, cut with my scissors,
A E
wanna tire out my hands and give them something to see
A E
Hey, look I raised my hand first, why didn't you call on me?
[Guitar Solo] - (Same chords, E and A)
[Bridge]
A
Turn off your phones, Please no photographs
E
Why did you just laugh? No reason to laugh
A
I've tried out my best, I've written this scene
E B B B B B
Let me show you what I mean, let me show you what I mean
[Outro Chorus Part 1] - (Bass Riff)
E
Cause if you offer up your hands I'll push as hard as I can
E
Wasn't born a man, wasn't born a man
A E
They'll sell our hearts if we stop fighting for free
N.C
[WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!]
[Outro Chorus Part 2] - (Rock Out)
E
Gave me a book of paper stickers, I need something thicker
E
to cut with my scissors, cut with my scissors
A E
I wanna tire out my hands and give them something to see
A E
Hey look I raised my hand first, Why didn't you call on me?
