Bm                                           G
Woke up this morning and I turned on the radio

I didn't like it
Em
Switched on the TV, I had nowhere to go,
         F#'
I didn't like it
Bm                                         G
Some politician's throwing lies at my brain
                                              Em
There's so much trouble that I'm going insane

I try to think that like there's nobody to blame
             F#'
I just don't like it
G     A     D       G
Yeah, yeah, life is good
          A             D
I'm doing better than I thought I would
G        A             D         G
So you remember, baby, listen to me
   Em                              F#'
It makes no difference, that's the way it is
I went outside, I had to polish my Porsche,
I didn't like it
Looked in the mirror, I feel gorgeous of course....
I didn't like it
I'm not a puppet dangling down on a string
I'm in control of everything
I feel the power when I'm trying to sing,
I just don't like it

and it'll have to be enough
I don't need you to call and ask me how I'm feeling
I don't need you to waste your dime
And I don't need you to tell me how you'll help when I'm screaming
I don't need you to waste my time
I don't wanna know what made you bitter
I don't wanna know who takes you calls
I don't wanna hear about your brand new life without me
cause the way I'm feeling lately
I don't wanna hear about you at all.

You can tell when a love affair is over
When you're back to where you were at the start
You try to hang on
but you know it's all wrong
And you can't get her out of your heart.
You can tell when she no longer needs you
when your hopes and your dreams fall apart
You want to be strong
then her face comes along
and you can't get her out of your heart.
Could it be there was some misunderstanding?
It wasn't what she really meant to say
it was always the two of you
Now you don't know what to do
and you just can't go on this way
You can tell that the times are a-changin'
and she just doesn't think you're very smart
you were feeling secure
now it's ended for sure
and you can't get her out of your heart.
