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