( F#m  D  E  F#m  D  A  G#m )

 F#m                D             E
Day after day your homelife's a wreck
     F#m                  D                A   G#m
The powers that be just breathe down your neck
     F#m                 D        E
You get no respect, you get no relief
     F#m                D             A    G#m
You gotta speak up and yell out your peace

[Chorus]

    F#m                  D
So back off your rules, back off your jive
           A                  E
Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive
 F#m                 D
Leave me alone, I'm not asking a lot
        A                    E
I just don't want to be controlled
            F#m  D             A  E
It's all I waaant, it's all I waaant
            F#m  D             A  E
It's all I waaant, it's all I waaant

( F#m  D  E  F#m  D  A  G#m )

 F#m              D         E
How many times is it gonna take
      F#m                D              A  G#m
Till someone around you hears what you say
      F#m                D           E
You try being cool, you feel like a lie
         F#m
You've played by their rules
           D             A  G#m
Now it's their turn to try

      D         E          F#m      E
I've said it before, I'll say it again
    D              E
If you could just listen
         D              C#7 
Then it might make seeeeense
