[Verse]
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
 Am                               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
 Am   F
()    
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
G                      C  E     Am
But not for me I'll do it on my own
 Am   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
[Verse]
Am                                     C
By the way I know your path has been tried and so
                     G
It may seem like the way to go
               F
Me, I'd rather be found
  E              Am
Trying something new
 Am                               C
()                                
And the bottom line in all of this seems to say
                       G
There's no right and wrong way
                  F
Sorry if I don't feel like
 E                 Am
Living the way you do
[Chorus]
 Am   F

On yeah, Oh yeah
G                       C             E          Am
Open wide and they'll shove in their meaning of life
 Am   F

Oh yeah, Oh yeah
G                      C  E     Am
But not for me I'll do it on my own

Oh yeah, Oh yeah
G              C             E         F
Open wide and swallow their meaning of life
