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