start strumming C#m

            F#
And now it's lonely

Thank God the band's doing well
             F#
But you don't own me
     E                 B
I'd like to return this spell
                  C#m
'Cause it's not my size
        B                F#
And your lies are so much bigger
       C#m
Than my Lies
         B                F#
And your ties are made of things that shouldn't make ties
