Tell me,           To stay inside the lines,        but sometimes I just

fox,                  and I hear that’s not right               Then you
E                                                                 F#-
See me,           Mix red and green make brown,     And then I see you

frown,             well I guess I’ve let you down.

F#-      G#-      A                                            B                                                                E

F#-      A          C#-                                                  F#-                                      E
                         I’ve got my whole life to do what everyone else tells me to except this moment
F#-      G#-      A                                                                      B
