Dm        C               Am
Center of attention once again
Bb              Dm
They don't understand
C               Am       Bb
They don't understand, no
Dm               C             Am
Then they try to tell me who I am
    Bb              Dm
But they don't understand
C                 Am     Bb
They don't understand, no


[Pre-Chorus]
              Dm      C             Am      Bb
If you want a perfect picture to believe in
         Dm       C           Am      Bb
Then you can't be looking for me then


[Chorus]
Dm              C            Am
I don't need to live by your rules
              Bb
You don't control me
  Dm                  C          Am
Until you've walked a mile in my shoes
          Bb
You don't know me
    Gm                C
And I know, I know, I know you don't like it
Am                         Bb
You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been
Dm              C
It's my life so truth be told
   Am                   Bb                      Dm C
(I see you thinking but there's just one thing, dear
Am                         Bb                Dm C
And you think you know but you don't have no idea
Am                    Bb
Think you know me but there's more to see my love)


[Verse 2]

Dm                 C               Am
The same arguments time and time again
Bb                          Dm
And you watched them all happen
    C                 Am     Bb
But they don't understand, no
Dm                  C              Am
Thinkin' you're the reason that it ends
       Bb             Dm
And he won't be back again
    C                Am     Bb
But they don't understand, no


[Pre-Chorus]

           Dm      C            Am      Bb
You want a perfect picture to believe in
         Dm       C           Am     Bb
Then you can't be looking for me then


[Chorus]

Dm              C            Am
I don't need to live by your rules
             Bb
You don't control me
  Dm                  C          Am
Until you've walked a mile in my shoes
          Bb
You don't know me
    Gm                C
And I know, I know, I know you don't like it
Am                        Bb
You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been
Dm              C             Am
It's my life so truth be told
          Bb
You don't know me


[Bridge]

    Gm              C          Am   Bb
The girl you see in photographs, is only
  Cm          F       Am      Bb
A part of the one I am, don't judge me
       Gm         C      Am        Bb
'Cause that's not reality and all I can be
   Cm               F
Is in love with who I'm becoming
 Am                    Bb                     Dm  C
(Think you know me but there's more to see my love
Am                     Bb                Dm C
You think you know but you don't have no idea)


[Chorus]

Dm              C            Am
I don't need to live by your rules
          Bb
You don't control me
  Dm                  C          Am
Until you've walked a mile in my shoes
          Bb
You don't know me
    Dm                C
And I know, I know, I know you don't like it
Am                        Bb
You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been
Dm              C
It's my life so truth be told
   Am
(I see you thinking)
          Bb
You don't know me


[Chorus 2]

Dm              C            Am
I don't need to live by your rules
          Bb
You don't control me
  Dm                  C          Am
Until you've walked a mile in my shoes
          Bb
You don't know me
    Dm                C
And I know, I know, I know you don't like it
Am                        Bb
You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been
Dm              C
It's my life so truth be told
   Am                   Bb                      Dm  C
(I see you thinking but there's just one thing, dear
    Am                     Bb                Dm C
And you think you know but you don't have no idea
Am                    Bb                     Dm     C Am Bb      Dm
Think you know me but there's more to see my love,            my love)
