Verse 1 (intro pattern plays underneath)

E

I stand accused

D A A/G E

Just like you for being born without a silver spoon

E D

Stood at the top of a hill

A A/G E

Over my town I was found

Chorus

G A E

I've been on the shelf too long

G A E

Sitting at home on my bed too long

G A E

Got my things and now I'm gone

G A E

How's the world gonna take me?

Verse 2 (Intro pattern plays under)

Finding myself used to be hard

But now, I see the light

If love is a drug

Then I don't need it

Chorus

I've been on the shelf too long

Sitting at home on my bed too long

Now it's time to hear my song

How are you gonna take it?

Bridge

E

I've been on the shelf too long

E

I've been on the shelf too long

E

I've been on the shelf too long

E

C'mon C'mon C'mon

A A/G E

We've got a lot of living to do

E D

There's a door in my mind that's open wide

A A/G E

Come inside come inside

E D A A/G E (4x)

Verse 3 (intro pattern plays under)

Jesus never saved me

He'll never save you too, and you know!

I've got a little sticker on the back of my boot

This is music

Outro (same chords as verse, intro patter plays under)

And now I see the light shining bright in my eyes

If love is the drug then it ain't for me

Well music is my life

And loved by me

I'm gonna move on the floor with my sweet young thing

Down down down we go till we reach the bottom

Of our soul with this is music
