_ _ [F] _ _ [E] _ [G] _ I'm going to sing a song called The Way Things Drove Me Mad.
The way things [F] drove me [E] [G] mad.
_ .
You're finally [F] here and [Em] [G] I'm a mess.
I take your [F] interest [E] [G] back.
_ .
Can't let you [F] roam [E] inside [G] my head.
I don't want to take what [A] you [G] can't give.
[C] [G] I'd rather starve [A] than eat [G] your bread.
I'd rather run but [A] I [G] can't walk.
[C] Guess [G] I'll hide alone just [A] like [G] before.

_ .
Oh, and I [F] must [E] refuse [G] your test.
I'll push me [F] and I [G] will resist.
This _ [F] behavior's not [G] unique.
I don't want to hear from [A] those [G] who know.
They can buy the cancer [A] of [G] my clothes.
I don't want to wait for [A] them [G] to walk.
Never would have known of [A] me [G] before.
I don't want to be held [A] in [G] your debt.
[C] I'll [G] pad up in blood that [A] I [G] be well.
I'm already cut up and that's it.
I'll end up alone like I _ began.

_ [C] Absolutely _ nothing's changed.
[G] Take my [Bm] hand.
Pull my leg short.
Spill my [C] tea sure.
_ _ _ .
I [G] don't want to take what [D] you [G] can't give.
_ .
[C] [G] I'd rather starve [A] than eat [G] your bread.
All the things that others [A] want [G] from me.
Can't buy what I want [A] because [G] it's free.
_ .
Can't buy what I want [A] because [G] it's free.
Can't be what you want [F] because of me.
[E] _ [G] _ _ I'm supposed to [F] be just [E] [G] fine.
_ Oh, the living [F] God [E] let it [G] be done.
I'll be [F] gone or I'll be [E] [G] damned.
_ All alone [F] like I [E] began.
