A           C#7                  D
There was a time when I couldn't
     Dm      E      A
Stop loving you so much
             C#7               D
Haven't seen that me for so long
    Dm      E       A
Forgot I shouldn't care
                  C#7
I sang "Dum di di"
                D
Who I used to be
             Dm   E       A
Is not who I am, look at me
                    C#7
These dreams of mine
                             D
Do not need your advice or cheap blessing
Here's my crown you couldn't lift

D
You want me to act a certain way
A             E               Bm
I'm no one's toy no more, it hurts them
                           Dm
To know they can't control me each day
              A
Enjoy the pain

Chorus:
             C#7        D
I don't need your expectations
         Dm         E       A
Made the bricks to pave my way
              C#7     D
Fuck that Grammy nomination
      Dm      E      A
Happiness cannot be bought
One summer day
C#7
We just might meet up again
D                 Dm
Hey, look at you sitting here
    E
All on your own
A      C#7         D
Lost in your expectations
   Dm    E              A
I can't help you with that

I can't ever hate you
But had to let you go
Changing myself for your ego
And selfish pride stops there
I sang "Karate," who I used to be
Is not who I am, look at me
These dreams of mine
Do not need your advice or cheap blessing
Here's my crown, you couldn't lift

You want me to act a certain way
I'm no one's toy no more, it hurts them
To know they can't control me each day
Enjoy the pain

Chorus

             C#7
I can't lie, say it was easy
      A                        F#m
Each day alone filled me with fear
     Bm
But here I stand tall
    Dm          Ddim
My face to the crowd

Chorus:
I don't need your expectations
Made the bricks to pave my way
Fuck that Grammy nomination
Happiness cannot be bought
One summer day
We might just meet up again
Hey, look at you sitting here
All on your own
Lost in your expectations
I can't help you with that
