C G Am F
I used to hate myself when I would let you down
C G Em F
I thought it was my fault, but I know better now
G Am
You didn’t want me as I was
F G
You wanted someone who would live for your applause
[Chorus]
C G Em F
You’re free to do what you want to do but I don’t have to
C G Em
I used to care what you thought of me but now I see through
F C G
You and your brass rings
Em F G C
Cuz I don’t dance and I got no strings
[Interlude]
Bb5 C5 Bb5 C5 Bb5 C5 F5 Eb5
[Verse]
C G Am F
I used to think that you knew all the answers cold
C G Em F
But then I blinked and saw the shit beneath the gold
G Am
Now that I know, I can let go
F G
I can be anyone I want when I’m alone
[Chorus]
C G Em F
You’re free to do what you want to do but I don’t have to
C G Em
I used to care what you thought of me but now I see through
F C G
You and your brass rings
Em F G C
Cuz I don’t dance and I got no strings
[Solo]

I used to care what you thought of me but now I see through
C G Em F
You’re free to do what you want to do but I don’t have to
C G Em F
I used to care what you thought of me but now I see through
C G Em F
You’re free to do what you want to do but I don’t have to
C G Em
I used to care what you thought of me but now I see through

You and your brass rings
