But to (G)day the way you play the game is not the same, no way.

Think I’m gon na get me (F)some hap py.

I think there’s some thing you should know.

I think it’s time I told you so.

There’s some thing deep in side of me.

There’s some one else I’ve got to be.

Take back your pic ture in a frame.

Take back your “Sing ing In The Rain.” (Cm7)I just hope you’ll un der stand some times the clothes do not make the man.

But when you (Cm7)shake your ass, they no tice fast that (Cm6)some of your mis takes were built to last.

That’s what you get,
