Am                                  C
On the way trying to get where I'd like to say
                     G
I'm always feeling steered away
                      F
By someone trying to tell me
  E             Am
What to say and do
                                  C
I don't want it, I gotta go find my own way
                   G
I gotta go make my own mistakes
               F
Sorry man for feeling
 E                Am
Feeling the way I do

Chorus:
Am      F
On yeah, Oh yeah
G                       C             E          Am
Open wide and they'll shove in their meaning of life
        F
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
G                      C  E     Am
But not for me I'll do it on my own
        F
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
G               C            E          F
Open wide and swallow their meaning of life
   F                       G
I can't make it work your way
E              Am
Thanks but no thanks

By the way
I know your path has been tried and so
It may seem like the way to go
Me, I'd rather be found
Trying something new
And the bottom line
In all of this seems to say
There's no right and wrong way
Sorry if I don't feel like
Living the way you do

Chorus

Can't make it work your way
Thanks but no thanks

Chorus

Can't make it work your way
Thanks but no thanks
