Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

You should have listened to what your mother said

You should have listened to what your father told you to do

But you always did just what you always wanted to do

Now you end up here singing in a gilded cage

And for half your life you were wishing you were half your age

Lady let it lie

It's hard putting down family roots when you're living in

A mobile home, but there's always blood even in a rolling stone

You squeezed me hard for the white collar dream

But you woke up to a tie dye lifestyle and its choking me

(Chorus)

All the boys want to be all the girls want to be all the boys

I don't want to be me no more

All the boys want to be all the girls in this turnaround world

I don't want to be me no more

Lady let it lie

They once said I was a rising star declaring me a bright contender

When it all worked out I was just a young pretender

I could never disagree if you said you were dissatisfied

But why you got to take it out on a guy that tried

(Chorus)

All the boys want to be all the girls want to be all the boys

I don't want to be me no more

All the boys want to be all the girls in this turnaround world

I don't want to be me no more

(Guitar Solo) :

Maybe there's something left, something worth fighting for

Something out of all this mess that's worth building on

Maybe we can start again, maybe give it one more try

Do we just walk away, maybe let it fade and die

(Chorus)

All the boys want to be all the girls want to be all the boys

I don't want to be me no more

All the boys want to be all the girls in this turnaround world

I don't want to be me no more

All the boys want to be all the girls want to be all the boys

I don't want to be me no more

All the boys want to be all the girls in this turnaround world

I don't want to be me no more

All the boys want to be all the girls want to be all the boys

I don't want to be me no more

All the boys want to be all the girls in this turnaround world

I don't want to be me no more

Me no more
