Not Money

[A] [E] [D]

A[A]ll my life I tried to r[D]un away from the sound
t[A]hat chase me from be[D]hind my ears
And I've [A]had this calling since my ea[D]rly years
And with ev[A]ery note I h[D]it I faced my fea[E]rs

So I pr[A]ayed one day I'd fi[D]nd a way
to den[A]y the thought but it [D]just stayed
so I cr[A]ossed my fingers and a[D]ll I can say
is that [A]every song I sing[D] erased my te[E]ars

So h[D]ow could you go t[E]elling me that
[D]I am doing th[E]is for cash when
t[D]here's none of that h[E]ere in fact
That's why I'm br[D]aver than my so[E]ngs

Cause l[A]ove not m[E]oney made me s[D]tay
L[A]ove not m[E]oney made me fe[D]el I'm okay
And I'll [E]never go a[D]way cause I'v[E]e got love not mo[D]ney
      [E]        Dpause
And that is, that is the only way

do intro chords

(do stanza chord pattern)
Ever since that day they put me down
Well inside this urge to paint the town
With my screams and shouts these deafening sounds
well my heart decided I should stand my ground

(do refrain chord pattern)
Well all the porn stars are to blame
For they get bought without a shame
And we all know they're singing lame
That's why I'm braver than my songs

(do chorus chord pattern)

(I'm not for sale, no I'm not for sale)

(do stanza chord pattern)
I don't wanna be misunderstood
don't waste my time, I think you should just
open your minds, and read between the lines

(A-D)
You cant buy me, you can try but I'm not for sale
You cant bribe into doing things I don't wanna do
Cause I'm not for sale
You can't tell me what to sing and how to sing it
just so I can have your money,No honey

I'm not for sale, I'm not for sale
