Jaded

[Bm]Scrounging through the shit to find a place to call home   [A]
To settle in, s[D]et up shop, pull out your wares and play     [Em]
[Bm]To sing a song to you, for you and for me       [A]
I need to remember [D]what I gain and why I'm here          [Em]
The sig[Bm]n says gents but I don’t see none here  [A]
The sig[D]n says ladies but I'm a lady feeling ‘lon[Em]e
[Bm]All I need to survive is feeling[A] threatened   [D]                   [Em]

I don’t wa[G]nt you to make me jaded                 [D]
I don’t want to give you the power to make me old       [Bb]                             [A]

I [Bm]do it because I wanna have my say, give it up for [A]you
But you choos[D]e to throw it back at my face with your distort[Em]ions.
[Bm]I feel sorry for you, but you feel so[A]rry for me
Seeing that power s[D]ometimes lies in the hands of the weakest, th[Em]e lowest kind
[Bm]The power to make me s[A]cream when I only want to              [D]
[Em]Whisper

[Bm]The power to make me p[A]unch when I only want to caress      [D]
[Em]You

I don’t wan[G]t you to make me jaded                 [D]
I don’t want to give you the power to make me raise m[Bb]y
[A]Voice

I don’t wan[G]t you to make me jaded                  [D]
I don’t want to give you the pleasure of seeing me cry    [Bb]                          [A]

I just want to find a[D] beautiful face         [A]
And remembe[G]r why I am standing here     [F#]
I just want to be at [D]that beautiful place           [A]
And remembe[G]r why we're standing here.     [F#]

Heeeey – no, no.
[Bm]      [A]      [D]      [Em]

I [Bm]speak what I feel and then it's judged by you   [A]
But when I judge y[D]ou, you get pissed off
I'm no diff[Em]erent to you
I do ha[Bm]ve the time to listen, I have the time [A]to care
When I've had my [D]say I'm happy to listen to yours       [Em]
[Bm]Just grant me the time to let[A] you have your monies [D]worth                       [Em]
[Bm]I'm so jumpy, I'm on edge, I'm re[A]ady to bite at your chance         [D]                   [Em]

I don’t wa[G]nt you to make me jaded                 [D]
I don’t want to give you the pleasure of stripping my     [Bb]
colours to your grey     [A]
I don’t wan[G]t you to make me jaded                  [D]
I don’t want to give you the power to make me hard and    [Bb]
[A]Cold

I just want to find t[D]hat beautiful face      [A]
And remembe[G]r why I am standing here     [F#]
I just want to be at [D]that beautiful place           [A]
And remembe[G]r why we're standing here.     [F#]
And remem[G]ber why we’re standing here.    [F#]                  [Bm]
