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