G 
What's the perfect balance 
Bm 
Between yelling too much 
Em 
Or not yelling enough 
         C  
So that people don't 
  D        G 
walk over you? 
         Bm 
Is it a crime to just 
             Em 
want to be nice? 
     G 
To avoid confrontation  
           C 
And show everyone a 
  D       Em 
little respect? 

            D 
Time after time 
   G 
I find that I'm struggling 
    G          
To tell you  
         D       Em 
What's burning inside 
             D 
A glimmer of hope  

That you'll finally 
C 
see 
D            G (Tempo Change) 
Yet I remain quiet.

G 
Look at my face 
Bm 
Don't you dare turn away 
            Em 
'Cause I'm losing my patience 
         C 
Show me now you're  
     D 
the man  
        G 
That I want to be with 
         Bm 
For the rest of my life 
           Em 
I have so much love to give you 
      C            D 
Just open up your eyes  
Em 
And you'll see

Yet I remain quiet

I can't remain quiet 
A 
anymore 
     Ab       E 
No I was not built 
    F#m   Ab 
To idly stand here 
         A 
Letting you make my decisions

Based upon your point of view

You never allowed me

My own freedom

Well hear me now!
