VERSE1 
C                    Am                      D7/F# 
   The letters you wrote me had hollow-point headers 
                   Fmaj7                   G            C 
If you think you've got it like that, find somebody better 
                 Am                      D7/F# 
You said I need fixing, you numbered the stages 
               Fmaj7     G           D7/F# 
But I won't be living in one of your cages 
              F    E7 
Open your mind and understand 
 
CHORUS 
            G       Am      E7/G#       Am 
When you're hard on me, it's not what I need 
        F        G    C  Csus2 C  G  Gsus2 G/B  
We were meant to be untamed 
   G     Am    E7/G#       Am 
Up on my feet, born to run free 
            F      G        C   
And there's nobody taming me 
 
VERSE2   
I've outgrown the narrow, protective container 
Designed to be opened with your childish behaviour 
Cause you're not the critic of personal purpose 
And I'm just not willing to do community service 
I don't know why you lay it on 
 
CHORUS   
When you're hard on me, it's not what I need 
We were meant to be untamed 
Up on my feet, born to run free 
            F      G         
And there's nobody taming me 
 
BRIDGE 
F         G             C          Am G 
  You say   that I should lend a shoulder 
F           G                C                Am   C 
  Right now   'cause your whole world is blowing up 
F          G           C  G/B  Am  G 
  Go ahead   but I won't be your soldier 
     D7/F#                       F 
Cause you're the one who started up 
D7/F#                      F 
You're the one who started up 
 
CHORUS x2 
            G       Am      E7/G#       Am  
When you're hard on me, it's not what I need 
        F        G    C  Csus2-C  G  Gsus2 G/B  
We were meant to be untamed 
   G     Am    E7/G#       Am/C 
Up on my feet, born to run free 
            F      G 
And there's nobody taming me
