Chords

[Intro] E G A E [Verse 1]
            E              G
I stand accused just like you

            A              E
For being born without a silver spoon

   E                  G
Stood at the top of a hill

          A         E
Over my town I was found
[Chorus]
       G           A        E
I've been on the shelf too long

 G           A        E
Sitting at home in my bed too long

 G        A        E
Got my things and now I'm gone

 G         A                E
How's the world gonna take from me?
[Instrumental] E G A E E G A G E [Verse 2]
           E                G
Finding myself used to be hard

     A      E
But now I see the light

    E
If love is a drug

     G            A       E
Then I don't need it
[Chorus]
       G           A        E
I've been on the shelf too long

Sitting at home in my bed too long

Now it's time to hear my song

How you're going to take it?
[Instrumental] E G A G E E G A G E [Chorus]
       G           A        E
I've been on the shelf too long

 G           A        E
Think the words without the song

 G    A      E
Never had a way to go

 G       A        E
Tell me now I'll take it
[Solo] E G A E x3

Been on the shelf too long

Come on come on come on come on

We've got a lot of living to do

 E                    G                A
There's a door in my mind that's open wide

    E             G
Come inside come inside

    A             E
Come inside come inside

    E             G
Come inside come inside

    A             E
Come inside come inside

  E                  G
Jesus never saved me

                        A                 E
He'll never save you too, and you know!

      E                           G
I've got a little sticker on the back of my boot

          A    E
This is music
[Outro]
     E                           G
And now I see the light shining bright in my eyes

    A                        E
If love is the drug then it ain't for me

       E
Well music is my life

      G
And loved by me

            A                         E
I'm gonna move on the floor with my sweet young thing

  E                G           A
Down down down we go till we reach the bottom

 E                       E
Of our soul with this is music
E
