A                 F#m
I know what it's like to be
  D                    E   F#m E
alone sitting in your room
A            F#m
Listening to all those
           D
doubts that your parents
 E      F#m  E  A
have to say to you
And as your head gets
    F#m
all cluttered inside
D            E   F#m E
Try to stay awake
A               F#m
Everything they say are lies
D
That's all the shit that
    E    F#m      E
you ever have to take

Chorus:
    D                   A
So hold in all your aggressions
              E
Because your grin-ding
your teeth on down to
A         E
The bottom of your
               D
chin It's not easy or
          A
so damn pleasing
            E
To not laugh at
everything they say as
A               E
They tell you what to
be you're not alone

I know what it's like to be
denied at everything you do
It's not the same reason why that
Makes you change the things that you once knew
As your head gets all cluttered inside
Give more than you take
Everything they say are lies
That's all the shit that you ever have to take

Chorus

             A
You say you want to take off your
        E               D
shoes to Walk barefoot down the street
         A
Just to be the things that you can
  E              D
be Just live for one more week go!

You say you want to take off your shoes as you
Walk barefoot down the street
Just to be the things that you can be
Just live for one more week

Chorus:
So hold in all your aggressions
Because you're grinding your teeth on down to
The bottom of your chin
It's not easy or so damn pleasing
To not laugh at every word they say that
They tell you what to be, you're not alone
