Over Being Under You

[Intro ]
Em   A  Em  A  D  Em 


[Verso 1]
 
Em 
I got a story to tell, you know it's hard to believe 
   A 
But  I ain't lying, 
                                    D      Em 
But you don't want to hear a word I got to say. 
Em                                              A 
I'm like a shiny new toy that you keep in a box full, 
A 
But I ain't hiding. 
                                       G        Em 
You only take me out when you got some games to play. 
 


[Refrão]
 
        Bm                 A 
And sometimes I don't feel good enough, 
          Em 
I want to be on top and out in front. 
Bm              D                Bm 
Cut me loose or I'm breaking the chain. 
      Em                             D 
Baby, you gave me a shadow, but that ain't no place to live. 
A                            Em 
I got my own problems, I got my own thoughts to give. 
                                     D 
I'm second in the bedroom, you can't say that's not the truth, 
    A                                   G          Bm    Em 
And God knows I've been trying, but I'm over being under you. 
 


[Verso 2]
 
Em 
You got a lot on your plate, 
                              A                    G 
But I ain't going to feel like  I'm under the table. 
  A                                               Em 
I get what's left when you're all done doing your thing. 
                                                  A 
I've been good to you, but I ain't going to be no side piece. 
                                     Em 
Baby, just can't be some puppet on a string.

      Em                             D

A                            Em 
I got my own problems, I got my own thoughts to give.

[Ponte]
 
A                            Em 
  Tell you what I'm going to do now. 
Bm                               D 
Breaking up and now I'm breaking out. 
A                         Em                Bm 
  Don't try to tell me to cool down, 'cause I'm a queen, 
                D               Bm 
You should have let me wear the crown, baby 

{Chorus} 
Em                                D 
You gave me your shadow, but that ain't no place to live 
A                               Em 
I got my own problems, I got my own damn thoughts to give 
                                     D 
I'm second in the bedroom, you can't say that's not the truth 
    A                               G          Bm    Em  Em 
And God knows I been tryin' but I'm over being under you 
Em 
Under you
