Tom: G

                D
Hey you, you're standing in my way
        E9
A solid obstacle you make
          C                       G
I want an answer or at least the truth

         D
I try to please you every day
               E9
But still it's all that you can say
           C                            G
You want a hit cause you don't want to lose

           D
And as you scream the words out loud
              E9
You're trying hard to force a crowd
               C                              G
And you should slice me 'cause I'm just your meat

          D
You could sell me at the store
              E9
But you don't want to anymore
          C                            G
I am your used Thanksgiving Day Parade float


[Chorus]
            D
Oh, I gotta stop
                E9
Living like I'm not
                    C                              G
Yeah you said you believed in me, but baby I don't know
            D
Oh, I gotta stop
              E9
Pushing it to pop
                       C                            G
I don't care about the label 'cause it doesn't mean a lot


[Verse 2]
          D
Maybe the times have never changed
           E9
I'm just a puppet in your game
              C                     G
You're not my patron saint if I say so

             D
You can't control me with your words
             E9
Despite your using them like swords
          C                        G
I can't believe I let you get this close


[Chorus]
            D
Oh, I gotta stop
                E9
Living like I'm not
                    C                              G
Yeah you said you believed in me, but baby I don't know
            D
Oh, I gotta stop
              E9
Pushing it to pop
                       C                              G
I don't care about the label 'cause it doesn't mean a lot

                    D
Now I see I let you down
                           E9
But you still won't let me out
                          C
Yeah you told me that you needed me
                  G
It doesn't really show


[Chorus]
            D
Oh, I gotta stop
                E9
Living like I'm not
                    C                              G
Yeah you said you believed in me, but baby I don't know
            D
Oh, I gotta stop
              E9
Pushing it to pop
                       C                            G
I don't care about the label 'cause it doesn't mean a lot


[Bridge]
          D
I am last season's mannequin
          E9
No longer cute and in fashion
         C                              G
I am the Christmas song that you don't know
         D
I am the summer at the shore
            E9
You don't remember anymore
         C                       G
I am the novel that you wish you wrote


[Chorus]
            D
Oh, I gotta stop
                E9
Living like I'm not
                    C                              G
Yeah you said you believed in me, but baby I don't know
            D
Oh, I gotta stop
              E9
Pushing it to pop
                       C                            G
I don't care about the label 'cause it doesn't mean a lot

                    D
Now I see I let you down
                           E9
But you still won't let me out
                          C
Yeah you told me that you needed me
                  G
It doesn't really show

            D
Oh, I gotta stop
                E9
Living like I'm not
                    C                              G
Yeah you said you believed in me, but baby I don't know


[Instumental]
 D                    E9
(Stop living like I'm not)
   C                              G
(Believed in me, but baby I don't know)
 D                  E9
(Stop pushing it to pop)
     C                              G
(The label 'cause it doesn't mean a lot)


[Chorus]
                    D
Now I see I let you down
                           E9
But you still won't let me out
                          C
Yeah you told me that you needed me
                  G
It doesn't really show

            D
Oh, I gotta stop
                E9
Living like I'm not
                    C                              G
Yeah you said you believed in me, but baby I don't know
