Ebm7 Ab7 Dbmaj7
         Hmmmm hmmmm



[Verse 1]
Ebm7                Ab7
Don’t call my phone just to boast
       Dbmaj7
'bout all the good things that you do
      Ebm7             Ab7
Don’t be so bold, I’ve seen your cold
      Dbmaj7
heart say good things but bad ones too



[Pre-Chorus]
Ebm7                         Ab7
   You wanna pick the world around me apart
Dbmaj7
   One by one destroying the ventures of my heart
Ebm7                         Ab7
   You wanna make it look like I was at fault
Dbmaj7
   I’m just a victim of excessive control



[Chorus]
Ebm7                     Ab7
How come I can’t always be what I wanna be
Dbmaj7
Used to feel young but this life's overcoming me
Ebm7                         Ab7
Kept me in play, picture frames on the mantle piece
Dbmaj7
Made me feel strange, manipulated unknowingly



[Interlude]
Ebm7                Ab7 Dbmaj7
     No ahh.. uhhuh...  hmmm.. hmmm.



[Verse 2]
Ebm7              Ab7
Don’t tell me off just because
    Dbmaj7
you let emotions get the best of you
     Ebm7                 Ab7
And don’t you dare go and sit there scaring
   Dbmaj7
me into things I don’t wanna do



[Pre-Chorus]
Ebm7                         Ab7
   You wanna pick the world around me apart
Dbmaj7
   One by one destroying the ventures of my heart
Ebm7                         Ab7
   You wanna make it look like I was at fault
Dbmaj7
   I’m just a victim of excessive control



[Chorus]
Ebm7                     Ab7
How come I can’t always be what I wanna be
Dbmaj7
Used to feel young but this life's overcoming me
Ebm7                         Ab7
Kept me in play, picture frames on the mantle piece
Dbmaj7
Made me feel strange, manipulated unknowingly



[Interlude]
Ebm7        Ab7        Dbmaj7
  Hmmmm.. unknowingly, hmmm... hmmm...



[Bridge]
Ebm7                 Ab7
I’m just a victim of excessive control
Dbmaj7
I’m just a victim of excessive control
Ebm7                 Ab7
I’m just a victim of excessive control
Dbmaj7
I’m just a victim of excessive control~



[Chorus]
Ebm7                     Ab7
How come I can’t always be what I wanna be
Dbmaj7
Used to feel young but this life's overcoming me (overcoming me~)
Ebm7                         Ab7
Kept me in play, picture frames on the mantle piece (oh~ ooh~)
Dbmaj7
Made me feel strange, manipulated unknowingly



[Outro]
Ebm7        Ab7 Dbmaj7
Unknowingly
Ebm7                Ab7 Dbmaj7
     No ahh.. uhhuh...  hmmm.. hmmm.
