[Verse]
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
Em7
But god forbid then you might envy me
