Intro D D4 D2 x 2

D I’m a fool to be A4/C# kind to you
Gmaj7/D It’s not what the Am7 men in your life tend to Em7 do
Must be so A4 strange, finding some-Em7 one,
who only ac-C2 cepts you

D Rejection’s a A4/C# lesson you’ve had
Gmaj7/D You’re lost in the Am7 anger you feel for your Em7 dad
But, oh, how he A4 loves you, there’s no Em7 doubt,
with all his high C2 hopes for you.

I could D push you away, I could A4 say,
I don’t want you no D more
I could G drive you right into the D floor
And tell you you’re A4 useless
Get used to it G lady G A4

But I’m D big in believing that A4 baby
You’re bigger than D that
It’s res-G pect for yourself that you D lack
And suc-A4 cess, it’s a mood that you G choose
With Em e-A very D step D4

D I want to grow A4/C# old with you
Gmaj7/B To hold your old Am7 hand
and look back on our Em7 youth
I will be A4 strong, times I might Em7 not…
I’m only C2 human

I could D push you away, I could A4 say
I don’t want you no D more
I could G drive you right into the D floor
And tell you you’re A4 useless
Get used to it G lady G A4

But I’m D big in believing that A4 baby
You’re bigger than D that
It’s res-G pect for yourself that you D lack
And suc-A4 cess, it’s a mood that you G choose
With Em e-A very D step D4

So, be D free like a bumble bee, spread A4/C# wings like a bird
Gmaj7/B Squawk like a peacock
and Am7 let your voice be heard , it’s o- Em7 k
I have no A4 lock, key or a Em7 cage
You’ve got to C2 want to stay

I won’t D push you away, I won’t A4 say
I don’t want you no D more
I won’t G drive you right into the D floor
But I’ll tell you you’re A4 beautiful
Get on with it G lady G A4

Cause I’m D big in believing that A4 baby
You’re bigger than D that
It’s res-G pect for yourself that you D lack
And suc-A4 cess, it’s a mood that you G choose
With Em e-A very D step
So Em take A a D step
It’s just Em step A by D step
