 INTRO
 C#C#      EbmEbm
 Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh,

 BbmBbm     F#F#  AbAb
 oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

 VERSE
 C#C#               EbmEbm
 Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table

 BbmBbm          F#F#  AbAb
   While I look outside

 C#C#            EbmEbm
 So many things I'd say if only I were able, but I

 BbmBbm              F#F#    AbAb
 just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by

 C#C#            EbmEbm
 You've got opinions man, we're all entitled to 'em

 BbmBbm          F#F#  AbAb
   But I never asked
 C#C#                     EbmEbm
 So let me thank you for your time, and try not to waste any more of mine

 BbmBbm          F#F#  AbAb
   Get out of here fast


 PRE-CHORUS
      EbM7Ebm7       F#F#         BbmBbm
 I hate to break it to you babe, but I'm not drowning

     Absus4Absus4     AbAb
 There's no one here to save

 CHORUS
 BbmBbm       F#F#        C#C#
 Who cares if you disagree, you are not me

        AbAb
 Who made you king of anything, so

 BbmBbm        F#F#      C#/F
 You dare tell me who to be, who died

        Absus4Absus4 AbAb
 And made you king of anything?


 INSTRUMENTAL
 C#C# EbmEbm BbmBbm F#F# AbAb
 (oh oh oh oh)


 VERSE
 C#C#          EbmEbm
 You sound so innocent, all full of good intent

 BbmBbm         F#F# AbAb
 Swear you know best

 C#C#          EbmEbm
 But you expect me to, jump up on board with you and ride

 BbmBbm       F#F#    AbAb
 off into your delusional sunset

 C#C#            EbmEbm
 I'm not the one who's lost, With no direction, oh

 BbmBbm        F#F# AbAb
 But you'll never see, you're so

 C#C#            EbmEbm
 Busy making maps, with my name on them in all caps

 BbmBbm            F#F#      AbAb
 You got the talking down, just not the listening


 CHORUS
 BbmBbm       F#F#        C#C#
 Who cares if you disagree, you are not me

        AbAb
 Who made you king of anything, so

 BbmBbm        F#F#      C#/F
 You dare tell me who to be, who died

        Absus4Absus4   (delayed)Ab
 And made you king of anything?


 BRIDGE
     Absus4Absus4   EbM7Ebm7
 All my life I've tried

     BbmBbm          F#F#
 To make everybody happy while I

    Absus4Absus4  EbM7Ebm7
 Just hurt and hide, waiting for

 EbM7Ebm7    C#/F     F#F#   Absus4Absus4
 Someone to tell me it's my turn to decide


 INSTRUMENTAL
 C#C# EbmEbm BbmBbm F#F# AbAb
 (oh oh oh oh)


 CHORUS
 BbmBbm       F#F#        C#C#

 Who made you king of anything, so

 You dare tell me who to be, who died

        Absus4Absus4 AbAb
 And made you king of anything, oh

 BbmBbm       F#F#        C#C#
 Who cares if you disagree, you are not me

        AbAb
 Who made you king of anything, so

 BbmBbm        F#F#      C#/F
 You dare tell me who to be, who died

        Absus4Absus4   (delayed)Ab
 And made you king of anything?
