ooh ooh oh
{Verse1} (Riff1)
Cm                                          Gm
You liked me till' you heard my shit on the radio
       F                                    Gm
Well I hate to say but pop ain't going solo
Cm                                          Gm
You liked me till' you heard my shit on the radio
       F                                        F
But now I'm just too mainstream for you, oh no
Cm                                     Gm
You liked me till' you seen me on your t.v.
        F                                Gm
Well if you're so low below then why you watching?
Cm                                     Gm
You say good things come to those who wait
          F                          F
I've been waiting a long time for it
{Chorus1}
               Cm            Gm          Bb
I remember the days__ when I was__    so eager_  to 
satisfy you_
                   Cm               Gm           Bb
and be less then I was__    just to prove__    I could_
  walk_ beside you_
                     Cm         Gm                 
Now that I've flown a_way__   I see__ee__   you've 
Bb
chosen_  to stay behind me_
                        Cm           Gm            Bb
and still you curse the day__    I decided__   to_ stay
 true to myself_
{Verse2} (Riff1)
Cm                                Gm
You say your quest is to bring it higher
       F                           Gm
Well I never seen change without a fire
              Cm                         Gm
But from your mouth I have seen a lot of burning
         F                               F
But underneath I think it's a lot of yearning
Cm                                          Gm
Your face, the colours change from green to yellow
       F                              Gm
To the point where you can't even say hello
Cm                                           Gm
You tell me you'd kill me if I ever snob you out
                   F                                   
Like that's what you'd expect from me, like that's what
     F
 I'm about
{Chorus1}
               Cm            Gm          Bb
I remember the days__ when I was__    so eager_  to

Break drums
{Bridge}
     Eb                                        Bb
It's so much easier to stay down there guaranteeing 
you're cool
     Eb                                     Bb
Than sit up here exposing myself trying to break 
through
        Eb
Than to burn in the spotlight (open fire!),
Gm
turn in the spitfire (open fire!)
Cm
Scream without making a sound (open fire!),
      Eb
be up here and not look down (open fire!)
F
because we're all afraid of heights
{Chorus2}
               Cm            Gm          Bb
