(play the chorus normally 2 times, but on the 3rd and 4th, only play the
First two chords.  then play it two more times normally, and end it on the
First chord)

(verse)
Day after day
Your homelife's a wreck
The powers that be just breathe down your neck
You get no respect
You get no relief
You gotta speak up and yell out your peace

(chorus)
So back off your rules
Back off your jive
Cause i'm sick of not living
To stay alive
Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want to be controlled
That's all i want
All i want

(verse)
How many times is it gonna take
Till someone around you hears what you say
You try being cool
You feel like a lie
You've played by their rules
Now it's their turn to try

(bridge)
I've said it before
I'll say it again
If you could just listen
Then it might make sense
