Intro: C G Bb F X2

Verse 1:
C         G            Bb
   Don’t say that you know me
      F
You never knew the first thing at all
 C        G               Bb
   Still you should have told me
         F
Took everything, selling it off
C         G              Bb
   These holes in your stories
    F
As many as there’s holes in the wall
Bb
   You told me that you like the old me
F
   ‘Cause the new me is telling you

Chorus:
C    Bb
I Refuse
F                                         C      Bb
To fit into this lame idea you’ve always had for me
F
I don’t want to be what you want me to be

Verse 2:
I hear you complaining ‘cause I’m not the same
But I won’t be missing the place that I came
I know that it’s risky but all bets are off
This is my life, so whatever the cost, if I’m lost
Would you hold it against me
And make me pay for every step of the way
I know that you’ve already told me
You don’t like the new me at all
You told me that you miss the old me
And that I couldn’t be happy at all ‘cause?

Chorus:
I Refuse
To fit into this lame idea you’ve always had for me
I’m not going to be what you want me to be

Bridge:
Bb                         F
I know that you’ve already told me
                              Bb
You don’t like the new me at all
                              F
You told me that you used to know me
                             Bb
You really never knew me at all
                          F
But darling change is a good thing
           Bb                 F
I see for myself Change is a good thing
             Bb              F
Spelling it out Change is a good thing  Can see for myself

Verse 3:
Don’t say that you know me
You never knew the first thing at all
Still you should have told me
Took everything, selling it off
