      G                               D
Don't give me something to hold in my hand

                         Em7
Something else to believe in

           Bm
Cause I'm over it

         C
And your reason for wanting to stay

     G     
Your reason for wanting to change

   D                          Em7
My reason for everything I've done to you...
[Chorus]
                       Am(add9)
I have tried but I don't fit

                      Em7  
Into this box I'm living with

           Am(add9) 
I could go wild

               Em7
But you might lock me up

                            Am(add9)
And I have tried but I don't fit

                      Em7
Into this box you call a gift

           Am(add9)
I could be wild and free

                             Em7
But god forbid then you might envy me
[Verse]
         G                                 D
So don't give me love with an old book of rules

                                      Em7
'cause that kind of love is just for fools

        Bm
And I'm over it

         C
And my reasons for walking away

     G 
My reasons for wanting to change

     D                      Em7
My reasons for everything I lost with you...
[Chorus]
                       Am(add9)
I have tried but I don't fit

                      Em7  
Into this box I'm living with

           Am(add9) 
I could go wild

              Em7
But you might lock me up

                            Am(add9)
And I have tried but I don't fit

                      Em7
Into this box you call a gift

           Am(add9)
I could be wild and free

                             Em7
But god forbid then you might envy me...
[Chorus/Outro] (some lyrics are just hummed here)==
                       Am(add9)
I have tried but I don't fit

                      Em7  
Into this box I'm living with

           Am(add9) 
I could go wild

              Em7
But you might lock me up

                            Am(add9)
And I have tried but I don't fit

                      Em7
Into this box you call a gift

           Am(add9)
I could be wild and free

                             Em7
But god forbid then you might envy me

           Am(add9)
I could be wild and free
But god forbid then you might...
