Capo 1
You tried to hold me down [Am],so I became a soldier
Built up all these walls,[C] and now I'm climbing over [G]
Those nasty bees are temping me
Oh, Lord [F], But I ain't going back [E7]
You take me for a fool, [Am] that doesn't make me foolish
Told me I was wrong, [C] passion made you ruthless
[G] Manipulate, it's just too late.
Oh, Lord [F], But I ain't going back [E7] no more
[E]You're fueling up the flames
Gonna show you what I'm made of.

[G]'Cause I will never be what you wanted
