    I'll get by somehow,               While you watch from your ivory tower

A ----4-----4--4--2--2--|----4-----4-----4-----4--|
E -0--2--0--2--2--0--0--|-0--2--0--2--0--2--0--2--|

Do you think that I can just stand by
While you pontificate from up on high?
Your words fall on deaf ears
No-one's heard of you down here
So turn cartwheels, its no big deal to me

    G                    Em           F#

E |-3---//---------------0---//-------2--2--2--0--0--0--2--0--2--0--2--2--2-|
    Though you pour your scorn on all below

G               Em                 B     E
No-one cares so there's nowhere to go.   Let go

One day soon you'll have to understand
You cannot dictate the way I am
I could talk to you
But I've got better things to do
And how you feel is no big deal to me
