[Intro] D G D A
D G
I never have the time to do the nothing that I want to do
D
I’m always rushing around being
What other people want me to
A
Be
D
Well, the fabric of my soul is
Frayed and falling apart at
G
The seams
D
I’m tied up and tied down
By the strings of other people’s
A
Dreams
Em A
I’m starting to see that that isn’t me
D A Bm
My freedom isn’t free
Em A
All I really want is some room to breathe
D G
Someday, I’ll learn to say no
D A
Find a way to lighten my load
Bm A G A
People take possession of the pieces of my weary heart
Em A D
I'll learn to let go, and learn to say no
( G D A )
D G
Feeling like a lion lying down behind the bars of this cage
D
Yea, the king of the beast is
Now the king of this enclosed
A
Space
D
Wear and tear and worry
They’ve been drawing their lines on
G
My face
D A
I feel a whole lot older than my chronological age
Em A
I’m starting to see that that isn’t me
D A Bm
My freedom isn’t free
Em A
All I really want is some room to be me
D G
Someday, I’ll learn to say no
D A
Find a way to lighten my load
Bm A G A
People take possession of the pieces of my weary heart
Em A D
I'll learn to let go, and learn to say no
D
Give us your time and give us your money
Just lay down your body
There’s no sense in running
D
Now cut off your hair
And put on a tie
Just do what you’re
Told without wondering why
D
Don’t ask for a reason
No matter the season
Sit down and comply
'Cause we don’t want no free men
D
We’ll say what you are
Decide what you’re not
You go, and you go
And you never will stop
D G
Someday, I’ll learn to say no
D
Find a way A to lighten my load
Bm A G A
People take possession of the pieces of my weary heart
Em A D
I'll learn to let go, and learn to say no
Bm C G A
People take possession of the pieces of my weary heart
Em A D
I'll learn to let go, and learn to say no
