Verse 1
=======
D Em G
They're trying hard to put me in my place
Bm A G
And that is why I've gotta keep runnin'
D Em G
The future's mine and it's no disgrace
Bm A G
Cos in the end the past means nothing

You tell me I'm free then you tie me down
And from my chains I think it's a pity
What did it cost you to wear my crown
You don't like me why don't you admit it

Pre-chorus
=========
A Em
D'you feel a little down today
G D
Bet you ain't got much to say
A Em
But you're gonna miss me when I'm not there
G
You know I don't care
