F                                          Em
I want my money back, I'm down here drowning in your fat
    Dm                                                 Em
You got me on my knees, Praying for everything you lack
         F                                          Em
I ain't afraid of you, I'm just a victim of your fears
Dm                                                    Em
  You cower in your tower, Praying that I'll disappear
       F                                        Em
I got another plan, One that requires me to stand
       Dm                                                     Em
On the stage or in the street, Don't need no microphone or beat
             F                                           Em
And when you hear this song, If you ain't dead sing along
         Dm                                                     Em
Bang and strum to these here drums, Till you get where you belong

[Chorus]
        F                               Bb         Dm
I got a list of demands, written on the palm of my hands
                                               Bb
I ball my fist, you're gonna know where I stand
           F             Bb         Dm
I'm living hand to mouth, you wanna be somebody?
        Bb            F             Bb
See somebody? Try and free somebody?
        Dm                              Bb         F
I got a list of demands, written on the palm of my hands
                                          Bb
I ball my fist, you're gonna know where I stand
           Dm            Bb  F       N.C.
I'm living hand to mouth,    Hand to mouth

C          F                                                 C
 I wrote a song for you today, while I was sitting in my room
            Dm                                         C
I jumped up on my bed today, and I played it on a broom
  F                                                       C
I didn't think that it would be a song that you would hear
           Dm                                       C
But when I played it in my head I made you reappear
          F                                      C
I wrote a video for it, and I acted out each part
    Dm                                                    C
And then I took your picture out, and taped it to my heart
     F                                                C
I've taped you to my heart, dear I've taped you to my heart
    Dm                                               C
And if you pull away from me you'll tear my life apart

[Chorus]
        F                               Bb         Dm
I got a list of demands, written on the palm of my hands
                                               Bb
I ball my fist, you're gonna know where I stand
           F             Bb         Dm
I'm living hand to mouth, you wanna be somebody?
        Bb            F             Bb
See somebody? Try and free somebody?
        Dm                              Bb         F
I got a list of demands, written on the palm of my hands
                                          Bb
I ball my fist, you're gonna know where I stand
           Dm            C
I'm living hand to mouth,

[Bridge]
F                                         C
Call the police, I'm strapped to the teeth
    Dm                                   C
And liable to disregard your every belief
F                                  C
Call on the law, I'm fixin' to draw
  Dm                                                 C
A line between what is and seems, and call up a brawl
F                                            C
Call 'em right now,'cause I'm about to go pow
    Dm                                                C
I'm standing on the threshold of the ups and the downs
F                                             C
Call up a truce ‘cause I'm about to bust loose
Dm
Protect ya neck 'cause son I'm breaking out of my noose

[Chorus]
        F                               Bb         Dm
I got a list of demands, written on the palm of my hands
                                               Bb
I ball my fist, you're gonna know where I stand
           F             Bb         Dm
I'm living hand to mouth, you wanna be somebody?
        Bb            F             Bb
See somebody? Try and free somebody?
        Dm                              Bb         F
I got a list of demands, written on the palm of my hands
                                          Bb
I ball my fist, you're gonna know where I stand
           Dm            Bb    F             Bb
I'm living hand to mouth,      hand to mouth,

[Chorus]
        Dm                              Bb         F

I ball my fist, you're gonna know where I stand

I'm living hand to mouth,   you wanna be somebody?
        Bb            Dm            Bb
See somebody? Try and free somebody?
        F                               Bb         Dm
I got a list of demands, written on the palm of my hands
                                          Bb
I ball my fist, you're gonna know where I stand
           F            Bb    Dm         Bb
I'm living hand to mouth,
F              Bb Dm           Bb F
Hand to mouth,    Hand to mouth
