[Intro]
EmOh oh oh
Oh oh oh
[Verse 1] 
EmPick apart every piece of me
EmAnd miss the point entirely
EmI only did this to be sane
EmNot for you to know my name
EmGo 'head and spit the music out
EmPlease tell me more about your doubt
EmDon't fear I've heard it all before
EmEach time makes it easier to ignore
[Pre-Chorus]
COh I am Dtired of aEmbiding by your Grules
CCausing Dme to secEmond guess my everGy single move
CYou don’Dt know who I am
Or Emwhat I have been Gthrough, no
CSo don’t Ddare tell Emme what I shGould and shouldn’t do 'cause...
[Chorus]
CNot here Dto lose
EmNot here for you to Gchoose how Cwe, shoulDd be
EmCause we’re not part of Gyour machine
CWe’re not, we’re Dnot part, we’Emre not part of yoGur machine
CWe’re not, we’re Dnot part, we’Emre not part of yoGur machine, no
[Verse 2] 
EmDon’t feel like having a computer sing this phrase
EmNot looking for a hired name to write a song for me that sounds the same
EmAs everything fed to our brain's rammed down our throats with no complaints
EmMaybe I’m a dying breed, but I believe in individuality
[Pre-Chorus]
COh I am Dtired of aEmbiding by your Grules
CCausing Dme to secEmond guess my everGy single move
CYou don’Dt know who I am
Or Emwhat I have been Gthrough, no
CSo don’t Ddare tell Emme what I shGould and shouldn’t do 'cause...
[Chorus]
CNot here Dto lose
EmNot here for you to Gchoose how Cwe, shoulDd be
EmCause we’re not part of Gyour machine
CWe’re not, we’re Dnot part, we’Emre not part of yoGur machine
CWe’re not, we’re Dnot part, we’Emre not part of yoGur machine, no
C D Em G
[Bridge]
(Hey, hey)
CTold to look an act a way, Das if I’m just a ball of clay
EmThat you can just mold into whatever, I Gassure you that’s not clever
CSee now fads don't last forever tDhey are fleeting like the weather
EmAnd we will stand our ground whilDe you will sink and drown
Hahaha!
C'Cause I’m a tough girl, I run Dmy own world
EmAnd if you don’t like it there’s thGe door
CIf you haven't heard I ain't got no iDnterest in your business
EmJust here for the music and there's Dnothing else to this bullshit!
DWoah-oh-oh oh cause...
[Chorus]
CNot here Dto lose
EmNot here for you to Gchoose how Cwe, shoulDd be
EmCause we’re not part of Gyour machine
CWe’re not, we’re Dnot part, we’Emre not part of yoGur machine
CWe’re not, we’re Dnot part, we’Emre not part of yoGur machine, no

[Intro]

Oh oh oh

[Verse 1]

Pick apart every piece of me

And miss the point entirely

I only did this to be sane

Not for you to know my name

Go 'head and spit the music out

Please tell me more about your doubt

Don't fear I've heard it all before

Each time makes it easier to ignore

[Pre-Chorus]

C D Em G

Oh I am tired of abiding by your rules

C D Em G

Causing me to second guess my every single move

C D

You don’t know who I am

Em G

Or what I have been through, no

C D Em G

So don’t dare tell me what I should and shouldn’t do 'cause...

[Chorus]

C D

Not here to lose

We’re not, we’re not part, we’re not part of your machine, no

[Verse 2]

(Hey, hey)

C D

Told to look an act a way, as if I’m just a ball of clay

Em G

That you can just mold into whatever, I assure you that’s not clever

See now fads don't last forever they are fleeting like the weather

Em D

And we will stand our ground while you will sink and drown

Hahaha!

'Cause I’m a tough girl, I run my own world

Em G

And if you don’t like it there’s the door
