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

How's the world gonna from take me?

           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
 G           A        E
Sitting at home in my bed too long
 G        A        E
Now it's time to hear my song
 G         A         E
How you're going to take it?

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

E G A E x3
              E            G   A   E
Been on the shelf too long


Verse 3:
E              G
Come on come on come on come on
 A                  E
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
